BLUE SKIES AND MAKE BELIEVE

[Stratpicker]

OK, pin back your lug'oles! Another Rarity!

A loud one to start the year off.

No idea of the origin / composer of this tune. I heard it on SoundCloud and thought it was a great Instrumental and just had to have a Go at it.
Guitar is my "budget" Harley-Benton ST-62. (Thank you, Steve Reynolds) . I started practising the tune on it and thought it quite suited the style, so carried on. Yes, there is a lot of compression on the Lead, but there is on the original too. No echo, just "Abbey Road" reverb. Oh, and a bit of Trem pedal in the middle.

Soooooo much double tracking. Phew!

I made the Backing track in Band In A Box.

I hope you enjoy it. I enjoyed working it out and recording it.

A beautiful instrumental success, a beautiful arrangement an excellent sound, without needing to have a guitar that is worth hundreds of £
In short it's a great success, I think even put it on the program VHBL
Thanks for this great job Ian

A good instrumental Ian (with a killer tremolo section!)

I agree that the guitar sound suits the number and it all works very well.

Hi Denis - thank you for your kind feedback. The H-B ST-62 is certainly much better than I expected and I'm honoured that you might add this tune to your "list of things to do".
Hi Peter - thank you too. I'm glad that you enjoyed it.
Hi Roger - I agree that he trem section works very well. Thank you for your "Pro" feedback.
Cheers
