Hammer To Fall - one take using AmpliTube 5

You lately asked this song a lot, so ok...let's do it.
As you know this is my favorite period in terms of guitar sound, and I think my new AmpliTube preset is now perfect (I tweaked many things during these days).
So why not trying doing this song?!

As usual no post EQ or overdubs...simpler than ever.

I used my own preset for AmpliTube (soon to be revealed on the complete review and shared if you like).
Guitar used is my Ferrari Red Special.

Enjoy.

3 years later and the attention to detail in these covers is astounding. The strumming pattern, especially on that main riff is what makes it.

Love this. My favorite Queen songs tend to be the ones that sound like they were written and recorded in an afternoon and this is one of them.

Well, damn. Not only is the tone nearly identical, but the playing is fantastic also. Awesome!

First of all: Excellent playing. Every T crossed and i dotted. I know it's Brians composition, but those open rock chords is just sweet musical honey to my ears. I can play some guitar, but my main instrument i drums: What surprised me was all the up strokes and what they do to where the guitar sits in the overall composition. Something to take note of for sure. And this close up really shows, that Queen is not just something you sit down and play willy nilly. It takes some skill. In other words I tip my hat to you good May doppelganger ;-).

I have learned how to play all these songs thanks to your videos. Sure beats the old days of rewinding tape in my bedroom trying to figure parts out! Thank you so much again for your videos! Great stuff!!

I love when I hear a guitar player w a great ear shows me background rhythm parts I had never been able to discern. This is just bad ass.

I have been a Queen fan from the very start of their career and I have seen literally hundreds of tributes and impersonators over the years, but I have NEVER seen and heard anyone who could do such a perfect and faithful interpretation of Brian’s playing as this. Fabulous job, ; you are one talented musician!

Appeared on homepage, did not disappoint, truly awesome.

Plot Twist: You can't see his face. It's really Brian May!

[AndyWarycka]

So one of your videos popped up on my recommended list this morning, and now I don't know what happened to the last half hour of my day. Incredible playing! Sounds just like Brian!

There's a reason why the work's is my favorite Queen album and you have it on display right here.

[drdylanman]

i was expecting the camera to pan up at the end and show Brian May sitting there! That was incredible! :-)

[bobafetting]

The fine control of that volume knob is just as great as the playing itself

[RobDimeo]

Your tone and playing is dead on! Great job friend :) Hoping to see more queen songs with your beautiful Red Special!!!

[morrisj]

Had to watch and listen to this twice. Brilliant thankyou!!!

[RTViperman]

Unreal...! Ive seen Brian and Freddy up close in concert several times and then years later I saw him with Adam Lambert...! Does Brian know you sound just like him???!!!

[musicon]

I just would like to hug the two dislikers. They need LOVE for sure. Outstanding playing and sound by the way.

[andrewsutton]

...top banana Brian: as good as when you recorded the original track back in '84. Glad to see you're staying on form and haven't lost it! ;)

[MyBiologicalInsanity]

Your one take videos have helped me learn full songs instead of solos, thank you!
