Andy Timmons Electric Gypsy Cover Vid (TAG Classic)

[gibson5413]

On a whim I decided to hit record on my iPhone and record this vid of my favorite Andy Timmons tune, Electric Gypsy. I used my Anderson Classic to get me closer to a traditional strat tone. I used a Marshall 1897x profile from my Kemper. I know the original didn't have delay but I love using it (sue me)!

I know I don't play it note for note and there are a few flubs but I love playing it nonetheless. This tune is about dynamics and control of which I am still trying to perfect. The tapping part near the beginning is still a challenge but getting better with practice. One playthrough and boom. Next time I will mic up the Electra Dyne and use that instead of the KPA. My pedalboard is almost done!

BTW, I am training for a triathlon this Saturday so no wise cracks about the shaved legs.

Love that tune! Been working on it myself, nowhere near as good as yours though. Well done.

Way to go Chad. I learned that one a couple of Summers ago. May have to dust it off.

Thanks guys! It is one thing to play it and another to play with dynamics. I am working on it and have along ways to go. Love this tune!

Off to my triathlon. I have done several sprint tris but this is my first olympic distance triathlon. Wish me luck!
