Here's my cover of the Def Leppard song. Griff's only advice was that I should have played the intro using fingerpicking - that's how I originally started playing it but for some reason I changed to using a pick. But with fingerpicking, when you put your fingers back on the strings it mutes them instantly; with a pick and just releasing pressure with my left hand, it's not quite so instantaneous and doesn't create the same effect. He also said I need to be a little more aggressive with the last lick in the solo, really digging in with the pick. Heck I was happy to just play it (somewhat) in time lol. Anyhow, see what you think of it

Sounds great, Jack. You never fail to impress me. I really liked that thing you do around 2:55 with the whammy bar.
Now, don't you wish you could have played like this when you were 18? You would've been the local guitar hero with people knocking on your door to join their cover band.

Thanks so much Phil! Oh man, I suppose we all wish we'd begun playing at a very young age and become a guitar hero by age 18 lol. I just wish I hadn't quit playing from 1990 to 2013. Those 3 whammy bar dives at 2:55 were actually kind of challenging - not the dives themselves which were in time with the rhythm, but the slower dive afterwards. The isolated guitar solo track is available on YouTube and it's obvious that the solo was spliced together from several different takes, which introduces some major and instantaneous changes in timing. Going from three sharp, rhythmic dives to a slower dive to finish it off was rather...unnatural

Jack, I know I had commented on YT, but this is really an exemplary production all around. Your playing is spot-on, your audio and video production are just fantastic. It's also just a really cool song. You are pushing the bar really high! Great job on this one!
