Here is my arrangement of the great Adele song.

Using my Alan Brason Strat, Kinman HX Hank Marvin series pickups.
Alesis Quadraverb Q2 with echoes from the past Patch 0-36.

I used the Boss CS3 Compression Sustain and the Boss SD-1 Super Overdrive for the ending part of the song.

Hope you like my arrangement, I just love everything Adele does and was glad to find a song of her's
that I could play as an instrumental.

Hi Phil,

The overall quality of your performance just shows me how far back I stand in my video postings.
Your sound is beautiful and it's well played. I very much liked the harmony lines.

Blessings,
Abel

Hi Phil
Loved the phrasing! - Got Adele off to a Tee.
Great sound and just excellent when it moves up an octave and then you wind it in - superb. :thumbup:
Top track, my friend.
cheers

Thank you Ian,
I learnt the song a while back but couldn't work out what to play at the end- Eventually I tried a a simple run down
that I could remember and repeat - The BT starts building up from the second half - so gives inspiration to build it up a notch.
The sound on last few seconds where the fire sets fire to the rain on the video (as Ecca was asking about), was Andrews input - computer midi programming put on the BT. (I'm no good at Tapping LOL)

All the best.. Phil

Hi Lynn, Thanks very much for your nice comment.
That was a good birthday present - I also love all of Adele's songs she's got a unique voice.
All the best.. Phil
