Superstar (Long ago and far away)

[blue9z]

Great work !

I will recomand you the increase the pace at the chorus that (is equal to "don't you remember you told me ...") to get more contrast in the song.

[MyTwangyGuitar]

@blue9z - Not with a drum machine. I rather like it as is...

[willifornication]

really amazing

[timafrey]

Amazing. Stylistically speaking this sounds remarkably similar to the great obscure mystery instrumental group The Blue Stingrays. Simply incredible.

Clean and clear.. Love it..

[plexisound]

Your Strat seems a '67 more than a '68...looking at Logo!

Anyway...beautiful guitar. And very cool playing.

[marcel12309]

Beautiful rendition..........love this style............thank you very much for posting this tune .....Can I purchase your Backing Track?...I like that you didn't jazz it up......JUST GREAT !

I love all your videos......

[hannababalon]

oh man! what a great tune and a great rendition...this song gets me everytime...thankyou

[plexisound]

Good good job...sweet playing!

Is your Strat a Japan model, right?

[MyTwangyGuitar]

@plexisound - Sure enough. This thing weighs about ten pounds but has a sweet tone.

[Urankar3]

GREAT guitar work,Sam!!!Amazing Stratocaster sound&efects*****

[hannababalon]

such a haunting song..ever the more poignant with her passing...love the strat sound and chimes, though I almost alwys prefer a telecaster, or a mosrite!thanks again, mister..

At 20 guitars I can see where it's kinda hard to play 'em all. Many think the Carpenters are kinda' cheesy but I always thought they were damn good.  Nice.

[4evertrick]

My co-worker and I just watched and agree w/you comment on KC. By the way, was this at regular speed ?

[MyTwangyGuitar]

I'm not sure what you mean by regular speed but I programmed the drums, recorded the additional guitars and video taped it and played my part at regular speed. Thanks for your comment!

[MyTwangyGuitar]

I wanted to add that I know the tempo is on the slow side but I think it adds to the 'dreaminess' of it.

[stephenpaquet]

MTG that is just a tasty arrangement of the Carpenters if I must say. I can't agree more she is just a stellar vocalist and my favoured as well. Nice Job Man.

[MyTwangyGuitar]

Thank you, Stephen and to the other folks who took a few moments to share their thoughts; I appreciate it.

[petercurlymop]

wonderful

[swhttn2001]

Hi, great work. Where did you get the backing track.

[MyTwangyGuitar]

I made it.

[Talonz59]

Love the use of the trem on this, gives the song a whole new flavor. Kudos!

[MyTwangyGuitar]

I really need to use my Strat more. Thank you for the time you and other folks have taken to comment.

[icitnow]

I didn't know you had a Strat!! Hmmm maybe I'll have one too soon! Hey this is cool-I liked Karen a lot too-maybe not favorite but a lot!

Like you said-you can never have too many guitars! And this is another one of your great collection. You and Solo-man!!

[Carroll49]

Great execution.

[sledge57a]

Can't speak for anyone else but I like it. Any chance of getting your backing track?

[sageguitar70]

Simply Beautiful.

[MyTwangyGuitar]

Thank you and to all the folks who took a few moments to comment, I appreciate it.

[bigtorquehemi]

the original is played in a different key. It doesn't really matter...i just wondered if u played it in this key because it fit better for guitar.

[dedemsvaarder]

By the way, which guitars do you posses? You must have a wonderfull collection.

[dedemsvaarder]

No matter if it is as vissible as the other video. The song is played great, and thats what matters.
