This is a cover of Lynyrd Skynyrd's Gimme Three Steps with Joey McNew on drums, and me on all other instruments.
Thanks to Rock Band, the individual master tracks for this song were available and I was able to get an extremely accurate transcription. I transcribed all the parts note for note, and replayed them, except for the drums. I then went into the recording booth and sang the song. I filmed this process so that you could see how the song was recorded. I then put the notes from the transcription on screen with the performance so you can see the tab and the performance simultaneously.

This song is dedicated to all the members of Lynyrd Skynyrd past and present.
But especially to Ronnie. Rest In Peace my Brother.
A little bit about what I do.
I transcribe songs and re-create them to sound as close to the original as possible. Why? To preserve these performances. There are hardly any videos of these great artists, playing all the parts to their classic songs, because no one thought to film it. But, in the future, many will want to know how these songs were played. It is also incredibly hard to find accurate tabs. I've checked many tabs on the web and hardly any are completely accurate. So, since it's not fair to the younger players who have a harder time learning by ear, I made these tabs so they could both see and hear the part and see the tab.
Why don't I use the original artist's voice instead of my own?
Well, there's a couple reasons. One, is that it would be very hard to synch up the original voice with my music. I've tried it, and it never sounds right.
There are also copyright issues with using someone's voice by itself. Many bands don't like you using their tracks to create other things, and you could risk a copyright strike.
The point of all this, is that I want to be sure you know that I didn't make this video to impress you, or to show off my talents. It is a video dedicated to showing you how these sounds were created so that you can create them yourself.
I also make no money off these videos. If you watch an ad, all that money goes to the publisher which I have no problem with, considering I didn't write the song. I am just grateful they allows me to record it and put it on here so that you can learn from it.
So, it's all about respect and honoring the original artist.
And, hopefully, give you an accurate transcription of a classic song.
