Topic: Moments To Remember

I was messing around with this it is an oldie that came out in the late 50's early 60's it was originally vocal I am not sure of the group could be the four lads or for aces something like that I arranged it as an instrumental it is in the key of A the progression is AMaj7 AMaj6 Adom7 D E AMaj7 AMaj6 the bridge go's to D A E A Adom7 D A F#m B and back to the beginning. I am playing thru a Epiphone with 2 10's for the lead this is also running thru my ME 50 with a twinge of delay and reverb the backing tracks were recorded on my Boss loop station I added a bass to the chords and this is running thru a Sonic 410 with 2 12" speakers I was originally going to play this on my Douglass with the new Stetsbar tremolo but I am in the process of installing new Sperzel tuners and a graphite nut so it wont be together for a day or so I had fun playing this I hope you enjoy the arrangement. smile

Re: Moments To Remember

Well done, Russel. Inspiring and fun listen to.

Live in the "now" - a contentment of the moment - the past is gone - the future doesn't exist - all we ever really have is now and it's always "now".

Re: Moments To Remember

I really like the sound Russell.

I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.

Re: Moments To Remember

It was my hope that more members would give a listen to this because I selected a song recorded 57 years ago and gave it a different slant while still retaining its original flavor "oldies" can be given a fresh coat of paint as it were so I ask you to mention this to your friends who want to learn to play guitar or improve I turned 72 October 13th and still practice at least an hour a day sometimes two and I never get tired of learning someting new keeping the mind fresh with new ideas and possibilities is in my opinion the key to happyness smile

Re: Moments To Remember

Thanks for this, Russell ...

I really enjoyed your creativity to bring it all together, and you've got a nice smooth / relaxed touch on your guitar. And especially liked your comment about having freshness in each day ... well done, man!
