Guitar cover of one of The Chameleons stand out tracks from the Strange Times album - Swamp Thing. I did this one years ago but have updated and tried out an alternative camera view of the fretboard for guitarists trying to work out the finger placements and added the backing track I used.
This is in normal tuning, not the half step up The Chameleons used on their album recordings.
00:00 Swamp Thing Cover
05:48 Fretboard angle
11:38 Backing track (guitar should come in after 1 bar - 4 counts)
Fretboard angle isn't perfect so I need to refine it. Added some ambient guitar notes over the start and improvised a bit - that almost keyboard sounding high guitar. Anorther one I haven't played in a while so I'm speeding up/ahead of the beat in places
The Classic Dave Fielding/Reg Smithies guitars and the wonderful drums/Bass+Vocals of John Lever (RIP) and Mark Burgess.
