Man If you cant do it with all the stuff you got..........I dont know what to tell yah. Latest videos show The lead guitar is on a Les Paul into a Marshall Stack, John Kay's guitar looks like a Rickenbacker maybe into a Rivera Amp and he had a capo on it maybe an alternate power chord tuning. Early stuff looks like all marshall stacks. But man; the Organ is a killer part of Steppenwolf. Plus, If you can't nail John Kay's vocals why waste your time. They had to be one unique classic rock band.
