Higher Place guitar cover

I'm not sure if anyone has seen this before, but I stumbled upon it the other day and I've replayed it several times. I think it's a great cover with a few liberties taken. Not a musician by any stretch, but it sounds like he's playing Jon's keyboard parts instead of Neal's rhythm work during the chorus and it's a very great, melodic interpretation. Enjoy.

Cool find man. Re: thinking he's playing Cain's keyboard part in the chorus: if you listen closely to the studio version, there IS a second guitar that is playing the higher melodic part this guy played during the chorus. Live, Neal just plays the crunchy rhythm part during the chorus. I probably would've played the crunchy lower rhythm part with just 1 guitar, but it does sound killer to play this song with 2 guitars and have one of them do the part he played.

Guy did a nice job on that outro solo (which I've always loved).

Thanks for the information,
I think the interplay between the "crunchy" rhythm part and the higher one sounds great. I'm usually all for Jon playing keys as much as possible, but I think this sounds better with two guitars.
