Rush - A Farewell to Kings - Guitar Cover
This is one of my all time favorite songs by any band, its the song that really got me playing more guitar. I remember I didn't know what was what yet, and I heard Alex's chorus box on Different Stages for the first time sitting in high school with headphones on in class and thinking "I want to sound like that."
I went to a music store to purchase an Epiphone 335 (the 'Dot 335' at the time), bought a black one because I didn't want candy apple red out of respect to Chuck Berry. I put a Bigsby B-7 on it, and researched the heck out of chorus pedals. My dream guitar was always the 1976 Gibson ES-355 in walnut with the Maestro trem bar. Since I couldn't afford one, I had to stylize a cheaper guitar to function like the Gibson. I also couldn't afford the CE-1 "big gray box" that Lerxst used, was too rare at the time. So I bought the Boss CE-20 six-variation chorus pedal which contained the CE-1 imaging.
Now I have my dream guitar, Alex's same year '76 ES-355. And its been over a decade of using the CE-20. Still gotta get a CE-1 though...
