Learn any new electric guitar tricks during your time in self-quarantine? Dre DiMura certainly has, and we’ll wager his might be a bit more impressive than yours.
The New Jersey-born guitarist, who has toured alongside artists like Gloria Gaynor, Dee Snider, Breaking Benjamin and Chevelle and records with singer Diamante as well as a solo artist, recently posted a playthrough video of Marty Friedman’s solo from Megadeth’s Tornado of Souls, which is no easy feat in and of itself.
Now DiMura has shared a cover of Eric Johnson’s iconic guitar instrumental Cliffs of Dover. And he not only nails it note-for-note – he also does it blindfolded.
You can check out the outstanding performance above. As DiMura says at the end, he “gave it the old college try.” We would agree.
