For TABS and BACKING TRACKS, check out: gewerh44.blogspot.com This video is dedicated to Julie. (I love this song, but nobody loves it more than you, am I right? hehe, so I decided to give it a try for you). I hope you like it =D This is a guitar cover of a truly classic 80's song Kickstart My Heart by Mötley Crüe, from the "Dr. Feelgood" album (1989). The original song is in "a whole step down" tuning (DGCFAD), but I prefered recording it on standard tuning (EADGBE). I dont like tuning down my guitars, its not good for the guitar's neck, unless you decide leaving the guitar tuned like that. I made the backing track that contains bass and drums. I used midi files as base, fixed some mistakes they had (as much as I could), and created the bass and drums tracks using plug-in's ("Steinberg Virtual Bassist" and "EzDrummer: Drumkit From Hell"). I couldnt record this song with any of my guitars, they just didnt sound right, besides I needed a guitar with floyd rose, so I got this 1986 Kramer Pacer Deluxe American guitar (thanks to my friend Rafael for lending it to me), This axe feels awesome, and sounds really nice to me. Btw, in the original song, the lead guitar uses "Talk Box" effect (you use a mic, while this system filters your voice through your guitar playing, sounds like your guitar is saying what your singing on the mic). Sadly, I dont have that effect, so I decided to use my Cry Baby to create a kinda cool effect. It doesnt compare to the original but I hope you ...
