A HEART WILL BREAK TONIGHT

[Stratpicker]

A beautiful Pierre Teodori tune taken up by The Shadows for their “Simply Shadows” album of 1987. As far as I know, it has never been put up as a Sound File before.
I have a personal video of Pierre playing this at Shadowmania in his own exquisite style and although the track is very much the Shadows version I have tried to capture some of his own phrasing. (except for the Outro which is beyond my aging fingers!!)
Simple kit – Brason Strat (Kinman FVs etc) – Boss CS-3 – Q2 EFTP patch 16 – Korg Ampworks (AC15 setting) to Cakewalk Guitar Pro 2 (an oldie but goodie) Nothing else.
BT was a midi available from Tony Kiek http://www.turningpointcd.com/ which I re-mixed and re-instrumented. (16 tracks in the BT - Oh Boy!)
Cheers

Hi Ian - A superb job both on your playing and your sound.
It's a fine composition from Pierre Teodori to go along side Farewell my Lovely.
I agree I don't think it's been used as a soundfile before. - yours is the first !
The BT is really excellent and thanks so much for sharing it - I know you must have put in a lot of work to get
it to this high standard. I'de love to learn this one some time in the future and I agree about the ending
- must take longer to learn the outro than the rest of the song.!
A very fine achievement
Cheers Phil

Our hearts will break if you don't come to the Saddlers Arms on Tuesday.

Funny you should say that.

Ian. Splendid old pal, as usual.

Ace playing/tone as usual Ian.

Hello Phil
Thanks for the kind comments. The tune itself will come straight to your fingers - its that kind of tune - but the Outro (IF you play it as per the record) will take some learning - but you are good at that!!
Fellow Hankies - not at the Saddlers on Tuesday. Having a wisdom tooth put in at 5.30 (it was going to be 2.30 - tooth hurtee - geddit ) so not happy boy tomorrow night.
cheers

Hi Ian

Just popped in to see how things are going on the site and came across your soundfile. I like this number and you played it really well as you always do - great sound!

My Strat is still in it's case upstairs where I left it almost a year ago. One day... maybe!

Keep twanging

Phil

I haven't heard this for a long time. In fact, I'd forgotten it existed - great to hear it again!

Brilliant playing, timing and that lovely modern Hank sound. Great stuff Ian.
