Recorded on Aug 3rd 2022. One afternoon, I was nostalgic about MJ and Eddie so I decided to revisit the Beat It solo on the Telecaster. Why the tele? Because it was just sitting there in the corner and I was too lazy-a$$ to pull my Ibanez RG (with trem) from storage.
Update 2: When it's around 35 Celsius (or 95 Fahrenheit), I sometimes wear shorts. I think I'm not the only one. Feel free to comment on the musical aspect of the video. Thx.
Update 1: It's been pointed out I may bear a resemblance to the vsauce character guy. I assure you, I'm NOT him so no need to comment on that.
Gear: The guitar is a Fender Player Plus Nashville Telecaster. My model is a few years old so I don't have the push-pull switch on the tone control. However, the rest is just as described on the Fender website. It was plugged in a Boss gt-100 board. I use very simple effects: normal disto at about 70% gain, slight delay, slight reverb. Nothing fancy otherwise the tone becomes garbage. I think there was also a 2db boost at 1k freq to cut through the mix. The amp is a small 10w Yamaha thr10x (green) on full clean. This was recorded with my iPhone sitting straight on the amp.
