Here is another old track I recorded on my Portastudio
many years ago.

It got to number one in the States in 1963.

Sukiyaki by Kyu Sakamoto.

Cheers...George.

first time I have heard it played as a guitar instrumental ,Kenny Ball had the hit first then followed on by Kyo Sacamoto, I beleive Sukiyaki is not the real title of the song.

Have a listen to the Dave Edmunds version. I enjoyed yours too, thanks George.

Thanks Mikey.
My rendition was based on The Ventures version.
Cheers...George.

The Eagles did it too.

(I mean the proper ones, from Bristol.)

Big difference in interpretation?
YES!

hi George, i do like this tune anyway. that is a great sound i liked both but the eagles one which i hadnt heard before shaded it for me, thanks for posting peter

Hi all,

I thought only the Ventures did this song.
I enjoyed both your versions George, especially your own as it is less merry than the Eagles' and reproduces better the
dramatic mood of the original in your low guitar register.

I didn't know Dave Edmunds and I listened to his version and thought it very well suited to the Chet Atkins style.

Here is my version recorded a few years ago where I tried to stay close to the spirit and feel of the original, using the original background recording.



Blessings,
Abel

The Seaside Shadows (Holland) did this song as well at Shadowmania 2007
