Jr Brown surf guitar medley. Three songs in one. The first is the high quality audio, second is live version of just Walk Don't Run.

I heart surf guitar tunes

SCOTS' version of Funnel of Love off their Countrypolitan album. The whole thing is covers.

This song too, originally by The Byrds. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Kr4xG-Zg9I)

Most of the YouTube clips aren't loading on my phone, so not sure if anyone's posted this one yet: Faith No More's version of Easy Like Sunday Morning.

Sounds great. Now what the hell is that he's playing? I now have E minor and A minor down after my first two guitar lessons. Might be time to shop for one of those.

it's called a guit-steel, it's a hybrid guitar and steel guitar

First one is for Timmy with his Jailbait Girlfriend.

Foghat- I just wanna Make Love to You. To bad I cant find a clip of the great Soth Florida Hardcore band from the 80s, the Roids doing their cover of it, but they called it I just wanna Fuck you! and they did a kick ass cover of Springsteen's I'm on Fire.

IMO The Old Blues tunes were made better by the 60's and 70's Brit Rockers, some of the orginals sound like a rasped out old Drunck Sharecropper with a deadstrung guitar.

Testament, doing Nobody's Fault better than Aerosmith.

Exodus, doing Low Rider (Just song, no vid)

SLAYER!

Doing Ina-Gadda- Davida (The original lyrics were In the Garden of Eden.)

Metalica- Blitzkrieg!

Hendrix doing Killing Floor.

Played this live once, bunch of kids who probably never heard this, the Electric Flag version and certianly not the original went fucking nuts in the first few bars before the band came in on me.

probably not better than the original, but still awesome
