Cover of Duran Duran's Last Chance on the Stairway

"This song's arrangement was a bit more difficult than I imagined. A month long flu bug also prolonged an otherwise straightforward cover. Worth the effort in my opinion.

Drums, Bass, arpeggiator synth and pad synth, TS12. Marimba was VFX SD, Korg M3r and a recent gift, the Korg 05RW. Thanks to youtube user WAVEFORMBLUE. Roland D20 was paired with the Digitech RP350 for the lush pad. The Yamaha SHS10 was connected via midi to the TS12 through the RP350 for the Keytar lead. During the 1st verse I had the RP350 Phaser swoosh on its own as it is in the recording behind the guitar. Nick's synth were resting I suppose.

The guitar work was the Ibanez through the RP350 as well. The RP350 was worked hard for this cover. Thanks to Duran Duran as well for the inspiration. I just hope I'm not disappointing them with these covers. I probably fudged the Lyrics as well but its what I heard...

The end of the video fades out and back in. Can't find the cause. Software issues...

Verse: A E G D
1st Chorus: Em Bm D A

2ND Chorus: Em Bm D A Em Bm D F(no3rd)
BRIDGE: A E"
