Originally posted by WojBhoyHey guys, just popping by to say hi and hope everyone's well. Just got back from a mate's party where we played a small set of stuff (it was his 18th on Wednesday but his party was Saturday night); opened with a song his band had written and that I'd come up with a solo and additional part for, hence we played it, then did The Fly, UTEOTW, One and WOWY - went really well considering it was my first "gig" essentially
Had a false start on the Fly because my hands froze for a second and I got the riff wrong (we were playing á la Vertigo tour arrangement, i.e. I open with the riff like Edge does and then everyone else came in) but started again and went well. UTEOTW had a funny moment because my lead tried to come out of the guitar and I had to just stop playing during the harmonics bit and got that back on. One was good although I started the intro with a slightly over-gained tone, but got that back on track and we finished with WOWY and I played my mate's Epiphone LP, that went almost perfectly; I played a ZooTV esque solo rather than the R&H version and then my mate (who was doing the singing) included the following snippet...

Take it easy guys
Nice work. I've always wished I could be able to play the The Fly solo.
