Hard to Handle - The Black Crowes
🕑 Added 2025-06-08 13:05:26 +0000 UTCA cover band staple! Now here's my cover, of a cover.
This is a tune that really needed the vocals to feel right. I collaborated with an old bandmate, and great friend of mine, Darrin Martin. I actually used to play the Black Beauty that's in this video in our old band, Pleasure Stone, back in the day. I had sold it to Darrin years ago... and just recently reacquired it from him!
For a tab video, the vocals might come off a bit louder to some ears — but honestly, I was loving the vibe, and Darrin really made this one his own.
I wanted to capture the energy of the two rhythm guitars in this version because they complement each other so well and mesh beautifully with the Hammond organ and piano. That’s why you’ll see both parts being played for most of the video — except during the solos, which I decided to push up in the mix just a bit.
Hope you enjoy learning this one, and yes, some more challenging songs are on the way! Time to get Flying V out for a certain Megadeth song that has been requested...
