'Letters of Marque' (Holdsworth) - Guitar & Drums cover || #yamahamusiccorporation #squier #fender

Been wanting to do this one for a while, now I have the gear and setup to do it more "properly". I decided to do a kind of straight ahead jazz trio version, although I guess it comes off a bit like Corea's Acoustic band, only with a telecaster.

It sounds pretty good on a decent speaker system or with headphones, FYI...

I’ve never seen a court stenographer with so much rhythm

[Dillalife]

Always cracks me up how these geniuses on guitar can play ANY instrument

🙏🏻

Great swing feel on the solo. Tory you operate on 5G while everyone else is struggling to make 4G (if talent and skill were like a telecom system) So much beautiful musical information.

You are also a master of
Percussion

Hi, Tory! I've never posted on your site before, but I've been following it for about a year now. I think you're an amazing musician and you've definitely got your own style; something that's not easy to do in this day and age! Anyway, about a month or so after Allan passed away, we had a tribute concert for him (well actually for his daughters to raise money for funeral expenses) at a club in Chicago. There were a bunch of guitar players and we each had time for two tunes. I chose some of the "easier" ones: "Fred" and "Letters of Marque." I was/am a huge Holdsy fan ever since hearing that Tony Williams Lifetime album, "Believe It!" And I couldn't! I've seen him live a half dozen times... with my jaw on the floor each time! Anyway, I think it's so cool that you're paying tribute to him in your own inimitable way, so THANKS!

[Oenloveslife]

Damn you're talented!!! You are rocking my world!

[alexcartagena]

Outrageous levels of confidence to try this. Even more outrageous levels of earned confidence to pull it off.

[cassiogrego]

Great! Thank you very much for your beautiful and cool sound...

[terrapin]

This is one of the most impressive musical performaces i ever saw. The finger drumming is so on point, also the guitar.

[jimmythebold]

SERIOUSLY, rewatching, you're just an incredible drummer. i mean, gary's performance on the original track is possibly my favorite drum moment, but you swing like nobody's business, the solo is just wowsers. i think you're probably thinking of gary's solo while playing?? you seem to capture the spirit.. the guitar playing is deeply sick, of course, it's interesting to hear the solo with a clean tone, and yeah, you're super cute...

[fivefingerfullprice]

I think it's really neat you both are wearing the same outfit. 😁

[MayaGuitar]

Absolutely Stunning!
Special Notes
👏👏👏🎸🎸🎸

[philliphanford]

AI chips in your finger tips? Effortlessly and pleasant, surprises included. Allan who? Those chords toward the end!

[Skraboing]

I'm at 01.21 where the first solo kicks off and I'm thinking "here we go, I'm in for a treat"...🔥

[aleccornblatt]

your drum and guitar solo just blew my mind.

[fabtone]

Wizard and Witch talking together with the stars around, just magic things happen here ! whou i love it !

[richardnixon]

Best part is you keep grooving out on the drum machine and stare away from it. Wonderful cover and yeah, you’re so talented yaddah yaddah yaddah…

Someday everyone will see the insane badass in Tory. Can’t believe she doesn’t have like eleventy bajillion followers 😢
