Man ever since this video came out, i have been wanting to learn it. Hopefully music sheets or tabs come out soon. For some reason the intro sounds a lot like the Copacabana. This easily goes on my top 5 songs from you.
Holy Standard Song torn apart, ripped to shreds, and put back together even better than ever, Batman! Absolutely astounding, once again, my friend! The first part sounds a little like TE -- Dusseldorf... but when you hit that Chet-Atkins stuff in the middle I was tappin my toes and rockin in the chair! There just ain't nobody nowhere doing this kind of swing-rock-be-bopde bop stuff and methinks you are right in the niche where you fit best. Hope to see you soon!! Peace from the DOOD!
for those of you trying to figure this out by ear, some of the parts are very similar to kansas' dust in the wind and lindsey buckinghams big love, pre requisites for learning this style of guitar in my opinion!
Getting in early for Chrissy eh? :) Very groovy/rollicking version, certainly looks like a thumb workout too! Excellent playing/arrangement/feel/sound as always Adam.
Cool! I think one possible disadvantage to being able to play so effortlessly is that you may hold back your full intensity. Maybe sort of a catch 22. Part of being great is making it look effortless perhaps but, on the other hand, when you don't have to maximize effort as much, you might sacrifice full intensity. SO, I bet you rock even better LIVE where ya may need extra aggression and intensity! I wonder if these quiet rooms hold you back... hmmm... maybe I should check out a LIVE show!!
Luckily most of the Cristmas songs are oldies, and I will legally be able to tab them. May not be until next year though, I am too busy touring! Talk soon...
Adam, every time I see you have uploaded a new video, you make me smile. Subscribing you is an assurance for musical quality. Again stellar performance and sound.
Thanks for this fun arrangement!
