Everly Brothers - So Sad

[rogera]

Here's one of my favourite Everlys tunes - it's so simple and yet has a great chord sequence.

I seem to remember reading that Chet Atkins played the lead parts on some of their early recordings. The little sections of lead guitar compliment the tune so well in my opinion. I hope that you enjoy this version.

So Sad

[Risky]

Great sound Roger

When you add this to your next Backin' CD can you include BTs with and without harmony guitar (I can then play a duet with Stratpicker).

"Backin' the Winners" would be a good name for a future CD.

Merry Christmas

Superb recording Roger !!
- One of my favourite Everly Brothers songs also.
Such a clear recording - the Gibbo on rhythm sounds lush - Great arrangement with the double stops and beautifully played.

Added to my RA folder.

Happy Christmas Phil

Phil (McG) in view of the fact that the original was a vocal duet it just didn't occur to me to try playing the two parts in the form of double stops. Now that you've mentioned it, I've given it some thought and I believe that it was just as well because some of the intervals may have been a bit tricky in that key.

Phil (Risky) I will include versions with and without the harmony guitar - I think that it's really good fun playing with one person doing melody and one the harmony.

I'm pleased to hear that you both liked it.

Happy Christmas

Hi Rog - It just sounded so close and tight and without seeing you play it - I assumed it was double stops, but until you try playing it as you say don't know if it's possible.

either way It sounds great. Cheers Phil

Hi Roger and Risky
Couldnt agree more. Bostin' track as the locals say around here.
Controlled and smooth and just exactly the right sound - just perfect in fact.
My moneys there for the next "Backin the Car " CD !? Just say "when".
Risky - I'm already there - so easy to play to - just let me know which bit you will play and which bit you want me to fumble.
Merry Christmas Roger and Phil and all

You're quick off the mark Ian. I was going to wait for Roger A to bring out the BT first. I'll give it a go when I have finished touring the South during the festivities

Roger. Get a copyright on "Backin' The Action" and "Backin' Time" for future productions

Thanks for the replies.

Some while back Roger Childs from the Watford club brought out a backing track CD entitled 'Back in Time' so that is out but thanks for the other suggestions.
(apart from that Chatpixelstricker !!!!) "Backin' the Car" indeed

Hi Roger

No mistakes!! It went beautifully!
Great BT.
