SLEEPWALK

[TheMichellepop]

EXCELLENT I LOVE ANYONE WHO CAN PLAY THIS SONG,,,ITS MY SOUL SONG.

[elemus1000]

beautifull how you do it i liked it

[Twangabilly]

I always played the Brian Setzer version, but hearing this more original style makes me want to learn this too :)

[midrangesupport]

Great job. I really like the authentic Santo & Johnny sound you get with the tremolo.

[SmokeyIvoryWay]

How do you get the lapsteel tone out of your stratocaster? Please tell me please :)))

[vicerioy]

dawaj czadu !!!!!!!!!!!

[fieldfullofthistles]

Very unique style - enjoyed that. Since you have a band called International Men of Mystery I invite you check my version of Man of Mystery on my site. Hope you like it as much as like this of yours! Cheers.

[HOOKAMONKY]

VERY VERY nice! I can tell you've played this one a time or two! Thumbs way up!

[jlistersnr]

yeah man so you can play Shads stuff but throw that guitar away and get a decent late 60's early 70's Strat oh an buy the way buy a decent amp as well. it sounds like a tin can with piles. get a decent Twin from 70's.

Roland Scott

[TheMichellepop]

@jlistersnr the steel sound is a must with this song.

[Yadiiiii12fan]

Got awesome skills!

[jstinnett75]

I've been listening to this going on like a week straight now. You are unbelievable, you play this song so perfectly. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful classic with all of us. It's by far the best on youtube. Jeff from Kentucky.

[EvilSean62]

@jstinnett75 i`ll second that ,been trying to play this for ages without success..also dude spend your kids inheritance on some kit ... a decent vintage amp and axe will increase in value and give you the sound you need to sell... just dont go throwing it out of hotel windows in a coke fuelled fury :E

[jstinnett75]

Great cover!!!!!

[CavesProductions]

Excellent job

[overbrookXXX]

WOW. I love S & J's records. This captures the details of the song very well. Very nice.

[duffinha]

[beachnut82]

good job, awesome steelcat sound!

[4GETMENOT2011]

That is great playing. I just got a used electric guitar. The first thing I did is to learn to play this music. I did just a simple type because I'm a beginer.

[sheen4dean71]

1949 SOR,

We would like to find a Mastering and Publishing Label now.

Regards,

Abel

[ssbman53]

@abelkhin What year is your guitar?

[abelkhin]

Hi @ssbman53,

It's a 50th Anniversary Deluxe. I won it in a guitar store on Fender's Day about 4 years ago.

Blessings,

Abel

[rrtebeau]

@abelkhin Great vibrato!!!!!!!!!!

[1949sorful]

[YoMama8one]

Nice playing ! Now try to teach us something. I would love to play like that too so please think about the idea of showing the newbies a thing or two about this style. You have lots of posts here but you are not much help to others. :-(

[EVBIII]

As good as it gets.

[thedtp123]

[colin61ful]

[joisar38]

Im in love with your talent :O amazed!!

[guydanieli]

Very good guitar player !

But for people who like the" Shadows".please take a look at this guy roodie707 . He is playing on a custom Fiesta red Strat. Great sound for people who want something special. He is playing LOSING YOU from the Shadows. Nobody on you tube has that sound..The Special Hank Marvin sound. Those guitars are not cheap, but they work better than any American Fender.Take a look ! Technology is different.

[eduardotromer]

Very Good!

this is very beautiful music.

vibrato perfect!

Santo And Johnny, master of slide.

congratulations!

[iamelvisman68]

this is how it should sound.. only with one more fret.. :)

[iamelvisman68]

so awesome

[ro413900]

wow he sure makes it sound almost as close to ritchie

[stereolab22]

I should redo it now with a better recording tool and probably a slide to reach that high note.

You've got some great backing tracks, where did you get them.?

[lesjensen42]

You really make an electric guitar sing. I love you phrasing and use of tremolo for the same reasons I like Chet Atkin's and Les Paul's playing. Your an inspiration to me and make me want to practice.
