WITCHFINDER GENERAL: "Free Country" Guitar Cover - 1982 NWOBHM Classic

"Free Country" is from "Death Penalty", the debut studio album by British heavy metal band Witchfinder General. It was released in 1982 on Heavy Metal Records. A NWOBHM Doom classic! Please do check out this great band at their official website: https://www.witchfindergeneral.net/ I double tracked the guitars and panned them left/right - one is in standard tuning and the other is dropped to C standard. I filmed both takes, so you can see how to play it both ways. The guitars used are a 1972 Gibson SG Deluxe (in the dropped down C standard tuning) and a 1965 Gibson Melody Maker (standard tuning) As ever, this is just my version, I make no claim that this is 100% correct. Thanks for watching as ever. Dunsy #nwobhm #guitarcover #witchfindergeneral
