Survivor - Eye of the Tiger - Live in Japan '85 (Guitar Cover)

Since I am not playing the original, I want to say that I think Dave Bickler's vocals are sublime on that version. I chose to do this live version as it has a bit of a solo at the end and I thought that would be cool to try and mimic as best as I could, although I had to take some liberties of course. Having Jimi singing on this one was a bonus and he sounds great at this show. I know this song has unfortunately been overused to a point now where it’s seen as maybe a bit of a joke, but I do think it's incredible songwriting from Jim and Frankie. Very enjoyable to play and I like Frankie's tone on this one too. :)

I use a Charvel DK24 (it's purple) into a Boss Me50 into a Palmer Pdi-09 into a Focusrite Scarlett into my computer running Logic Pro X.

I have a Patreon where I upload my notation notes for all my new covers and I am going through my old ones too. But I also provide custom notation and video lessons content there or at my [email protected] address. Please get in touch if you want help playing the music you love.   / bwm5150
