- This is a cover of Billy Joel's You May Be Right with Joey McNew on drums, and me on Piano, Guitars, Bass and Vocals.
This is the Guitar Tab for the cover which is a note for note transcription of what's on the album. I also transcribed the saxophone part and played that on guitar as well. (Note: This part must be played with a lot of vibrato on each note to get the true quality of a saxophone.)

The drums in this video are incredible, and they were played by Joey McNew. Joey is such a good friend, and such a fabulous drummer, that I just want to say first off a big thank you to him for working with me on this and all our other tunes. If you've not seen his page, head on over there and subscribe.
You won't regret it.

As far as this song goes, I transcribed the original note for note, and replayed all the parts, except the drums of course. I filmed this process so that you could see how the song is played.

A little bit about what I do.
I transcribe songs and re-create them to sound as close to the original as possible. Why? To preserve these performances. There are hardly any videos of these great artists, playing all the parts to their classic songs, because no one thought to film it. But, in the future, many will want to know how these songs were played. It is also incredibly hard to find accurate tabs. I've checked many tabs on the web and hardly any are completely accurate. So, since it's not fair to the younger players who have a harder time learning by ear, I made these tabs so they could both see and hear the part and see the tab.
Why don't I use Billy Joel's voice instead of my own?
Well, there's a couple reasons. One, is that it would be very hard to synch up the original voice with my music. I've tried it, and it never sounds right.
There are also copyright issues with using someone's voice by itself. Many bands don't like you using their tracks to create other things, and you could risk a copyright strike.
The point of all this, is that I want to be sure you know that I didn't make this video to impress you, or to show off my talents. It is a video dedicated to showing you how these sounds were created so that you can create them yourself.
I also make no money off these videos. If you watch an ad, all that money goes to the publisher which I have no problem with, considering it's Billy Joel's song. I am just grateful he allows me to record it and put it on here so that you can learn from it.
So, it's all about respect and honoring the original artist.
And, hopefully, give you an accurate transcription of a classic song.

I bought this songbook in 1980. It contains a picture of Billy with a white telecaster custom. I just bought a white Telecaster custom, and am revisiting all this stuff.
Those telecaster customs are so nice. My cousin has one, and he loves it.
This is going in our set list. Especially interested in the solo. This is perfect … thanks !
So glad to hear it Greg!!!!! All bands gotta know some Billy Joel. This will be perfect for the setlist.
Holy Cow! Feels like high school days again. I had this 8-track and wore it out in the deck of my sister's Mustang II hatchback.
I'm glad you liked it Fez. Thanks for the wonderful comment brother.
For me, it was my older brothers (bright yellow) Datsun B210. There is nothing like CLOSE TO THE BORDERLINE to capture that era: Gasohol, Carter, parkway tolls, hostages in Iran ... all this scary stuff, much of it New York -centric.
It's freakin cool to see those Tele bends up close! You got the perfect level of rockin' twang - this rocks brother!!!
Thanks Jimmy. I'm glad you liked it man.
