A Whiter Shade of Pale ☮ MyTwangyGuitar ☚ Cover

[scottishsanny]

lovely.....mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm



[kolbpilot]

For the Hell of it ya oughta stick a spurious Fender Telecaster emblem on it. No one would ever know except an esoteric few. Lovely, lovely guitar work witch I've watched dozens of times now.

[AghanGuitar]

the tone is so gooood

[melodymaker396]

You'd make Roy Buccanan very proud. Great sound and pickin'. I agree with the other posts that tabs on this would be great.

[bloodthirst72]

I'm not a fender player, but you play that tele like it needs to be played and for that I salute you.

[TheSwillbanks]

This vid totally makes me want a telecaster, which isn't something I usually say...great job TwangyGuitar!

[robertmck12]

inspired to gear that you play by ear as i have chosen this path and sometimes wonder if im wasting time but true fluency is the goal not mimicry however awesome

[Ann5th]

what a great player..I love this..bring back my mood...

[slangestorm]

You are an amazing guitar player man

[TheRossie58]

What should the world be witout you..........awesome

[sgbigsby1989]

mmmmmmmmmmmmm i wonder what this would be like with a leslie or leslie effect.

[BartonMJr]

Listened it like 30 times... and counting. Very easy listening version. Thanks again!

[GuitarMusicDamy]

4 people don't live the life. great cover, great sound, great everything! Compliments from the italy

[o0donnie0o]

god i wish i could play by ear...tabs makes it easy tho...

[alexis221woodworks]

Great channel

[BiblePit]

[TheDrumChannel]

Nice to see this side of your playing. As usual, your playing is flawless. I was sitting here and clicked on this song and had it playing in the background, then I played it again and watched it. Great feeling you put into it.

[kolbpilot]

One of my favorites of the bunch. So much Soul put in to it. Beyond fantastic. Ought to be on the radio.

[ninorizzo]

thanks for sharing all this exceptional music ...

[smithwez1101]

Why would you not like this?

[bigredchevytruck]

I know that they aren't the ones that made this song but until I looked up the song to see who it was, I thought this song was by The Moody Blues....it just made me think of them for some reason, some of the parts kind of remind me of "Nights In White Satin"

[mildomcduff]

What a lovely sound and played so well. You've got soul in your playing. I'd like a guitar that sounds like that and would kill to be able to play like that.

[kroton90]

but how I wish I could play like you! really GREAT! complimenti.kroton90

[order57]

What's the guitar here?

[contact1araya]

Dude I dont know why but after seeing this I wanted to ask you. Do you do reggae? I would love to see you play the solo for no woman no cry Bob marley

[j87trofeo]

Wow! Brother, you are gifted and truly amazing to watch. I was wondering if you would consider covering "FRANKENSTEIN" by Edgar Winter. Thanks brother and keep rocking.

[b29nutcase]

Roy Buchanon would have been proud of you,Mr. Twangy Guitar.It*s a treat to check out your stuff.

[b29nutcase]

Roy Buchanon is watching with a big smile.

[bigredtruck56]

I have watched your videos since before the black... I'm always amazed by what I see, and hear in them. You don't just play guitar, it becomes part of you, and you are part of it. Lots of people play the notes, but they cannot make the music. You do both exceptionally well.

Thanks for taking the time to post these for folks to enjoy.

[DonaldEzell]

Sam, You really continue to amaze me, I have done several different guitar courses thru the years and have studied music theory and can read music somewhat, however you have natural talent that really comes thru in your playing.

[reiludorf]

Fantastic! congratulations!!! great sound! best regards!!!

[spider2003]

Incredible drive and power, excellent performance (as always) !!!

[ssrn00]

He can twang his guitar any time he wants for me, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! WOW!

[MrFroodlin]

Very nicely done, I'm a bit surprised no one recognized it as Arlen Roth's version off of Toolin Around 92! ;-)

[phleb1968]

Fantastic job. This would make a great single release.

Sammy Hagar and Neal Schon (Journey) did a cover of this on their: HSAS album.

You get a chance to hear it, do so. I think you'll enjoy it too.

Thanks for posting.

[ozzyozb]

Excellence! man your skill amazes me...wow...I guess after all the years I have into playing I really don't believe i'm going to reach your level before I die...you must be proud of yourself...

[towtruk7]

Simply amazing. Thank you.

[SINGDJOY]

Smooth~Sweet &~Soulful ~

[nozrydr1]

Today is the first time I've located you on youtube. I've watched most of your videos and all I can say is WoW! You are perfection. Thanks much.

[nozrydr1]

WoW! Great. Thanks much

[cccwj123]

Everyday, I need to listen to it, this piece is a must have for every single day.

[69nisab]

Made my morning

[cccwj123]

Like this song and the sound of tele very much

[cccwj123]

百听不厌

[TimMacHardy]

I just pulled this up after enjoying Proud Mary and "cleaning up my act." Whiter Shade of Pale has always made me stop and think, but playing it with some your style takes it to an incredible new level.

[alexpap2]

Another awesome performance! This is the best instrumental perfomrnace of the most famous Procol Harum's song I ever heard, performed with great feeling and fantasy.

[lrpisme]

beautiful Sam, this is one of my all time favorite songs.

[invino4u]

@MyTwangyGuitar perfect!!!

[undunboater]

Absolute purfection...........you make everything look so easy.....

[low6581]

please is it possible to get the tab do you play?

great sound!!!

[acarally]

Very good.

[rgm791]

What pedals do you use for dirt?

If computer generated what pedal would you use live for dirt?

[MyTwangyGuitar]

@rgm791 - This is Line 6. I don't play outside my home. If I did I would use my 'Cool Cat' or 'Crunch Box' pedals. You can hear the 'Cool Cat' towards the end of my 'Long As I Can See The Light' video.

[BigWapiti]

@MyTwangyGuitar I guess I'm actually glad you don't play outside your home... I love watching from the comforts of my own home. :)

[graminovore]

@MyTwangyGuitar Very listenable, very tasteful! Which Line 6 are you using?

[graminovore]

@MyTwangyGuitar Very listenable, very tasteful! What kind of Line 6 are you using?

[MyTwangyGuitar]

@graminovore - It's Line 6 Gearbox Gold. It is no longer manufactured. It has been replaced by Studio GX.

[rgm791]

What do you use for your dirt sound?

[TMEwald]

Sounds great!  Did you do that from ear or from tabs? Either way its great! If you'd care to share the tab one would be very humbled. ;-)

[MyTwangyGuitar]

@TMEwald - If I had tabs I would share them. I don't use tabs, everything I do is 100% by ear. I don't know any music theory, nor do I have any training or background in music.

[ppattibpatt]

@MyTwangyGuitar Then that makes you all the more impressive to me. Amazing talent!

[gnomely1]

@MyTwangyGuitar I'm self-taught on some instruments and play by ear but I'm nowhere near your astonishingly high standard. You are either born with music in you or you aren't . YOU MOST DEFINITELY ARE. You'd make it in almost any band but it's better that you do it this way as your wonderful ability isn't lost in the background. You cover almost six decades of material and each piece is as good as the original and sometimes better. Keep on playing. It's much appreciated.

[TMEwald]

Sounds great!

[ax1sg]

MONSTER Stuff, man, that was sweet!

davido

[dc0077]

Very nice indeed

[kolbpilot]

That little stretch there from 2:59 to 3:48 is very well done,starting with those three notes.

[kolbpilot]

My mom, God rest her soul, loved this song when it came out. So this will always take me back to 9 yrs. old living at my grandmothers (Oma) house in Holland. I (even then) never gave a rats ass about this song. Almost to this day, although I judge it more mature now, I don't care. It;'s funny how songs affect ya like that. But then again, I've never heard a version like this. I'm running out of descriptive words to use. Lets try 'smooth' playing.

[flash5901]

Great !!! bravo

[slashgnr12]

Really nice one ;)

[kkkthere]

love you mom!

[sailfish50]

MyTwangyGuitar, Wonderful! Hi Sam, Superb work as always touching actually, and soo clean. Your Florida Friend, Russell

[MeltedProphet71]

Well done, sir! Great cover.

[HankTheIII]

That's cool

Thanks again

[HankTheIII]

Hi Mr Twangy

Top notch videos thanks.

I was wondering if you take requests if so how about some Rev. Horton Heat?

Say maybe Big Sky

Thank again

[MyTwangyGuitar]

@HankTheIII - I love the Rev and will be using my RHH Gretsch on my next cover but do not take requests. I have a long list of criteria I must adhere to before considering a cover of a particular song.

[guitarrene]

hey hey the twangstar is back my wife was away as well but hey i missed you more .

welcome back .please let me know about this dvd your doing

by the way another top song

[MyTwangyGuitar]

@guitarrene - When I was in Europe, I realized the internet is not as readily available as it is in the States. Now I know why people have been hitting me up for DVDs. I am going to start out with a couple of DVDs that will include what is already here, lessons not covers. When I get the time, I'm going to produce a DVD that will cover so much of what I can't cover in ten minutes. As with everything I do, it will be of the highest quality and content.

[howrard]

When a song gives you goose bumps. It is way better than awsome thanks Sam !!

[251aubie]

Awesome video! Glad to see you're back.

[cage35]

Very nice, sort of a nice Roy Buchanan feel. Great job and thanks for sharing.

[TheJimmyNathan]

Thanks for sharing!!!!

[alekskokoin]

Intimate greetings from Russia! With the great pleasure I look your videos - you are magnificent. Under your influence has bought Squier Strat by Fender and I try to take the first steps in music (me of 56 years). Thank you!

[icitnow]

Glad you're back! Been checking every so often! Great song to cover-one of the most beautiful songs-rock or pop!

[gillan5]

Jeff Beck would agree to that.

[rdougw]

Are you going to auction that black t-shirt off on E-Bay soon Sam?

;-)

[MyTwangyGuitar]

@rdougw - Times are getting pretty tough but I haven't had to resort to that yet. After countless messages, I am finally going to produce a DVD of my lesson videos. I will also be offering lessons by Skype (webcam) and in my home. As for the shirt, we'll see how things go!

[NirradGann]

@MyTwangyGuitar Judging by the incredible production quality And overall time and effort you must put into these free YouTube videos,I can only imagine the awesomeness of any DVDs you might produce! Meanwhile I'm ripping everything I can get my greedy little paws on! ;)

[MyTwangyGuitar]

@NirradGann - Realplayer is my favorite d/l tool. As professional as they might look, my production gear is as follows: A 5 year old standard DV cam, a dually worklite from Orchard Supply Hardware, a black bed sheet from Walmart and the cheapest black polo shirt and pants I could find. Hell, even the guitar was only 450.00. Thanks for your comments today, I'm hittin' the hay...

[NirradGann]

@MyTwangyGuitar Goes to show,its not the size of your tool,but how swing that axe!

Nothing wrong with cheap.Your end product is proof of that!As for that Tele,,,,well you got lucky on that one Brother! By the way,thanks for the video about that one,I think I got all the technical details I need to come close to cloning myself one.Now if i could just clone those fingers,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[zulujosp]

Another great effort Sam. You're responsible for my getting Rock This Town down. You're a great inspiration for those of us of lesser talent to keep at it. Sam, I know you've covered this ad naseum but could you once again let us know which Line 6 unit and which recording software you are using? Btw you also inspired me to have a custom Tele built with Lindy's. Thanks again

[MyTwangyGuitar]

@zulujosp - I use Gearbox Gold. It is no longer manufactured. The equivalent is 'Studio GX', it uses the 'PodFarm' software that I use. I recommend upgrading and getting a unit with an XLR jack. I have to change soundcards when I want to mike an amp. I use 'Reaper' recording software. Your Tele should sound great!

[MyTwangyGuitar]

Good morning and thank you for your very generous comments - I appreciate it!

[leonlimthelion]

simply amazing.

[garageink74]

Nice to see you back on the tube Sam!

[raymags]

First class, master class, top class

[manchiloco]

awesome job Sam!! you're great

[newbloodmusic]

beautiful

[robibm2003]

Really nice phrasing, especially the tension you created by pushing and pulling against the song's rhythm coupled with the feel for dynamics. The tone wasn't too shabby, either.

[knbstone]

One of my favorite twangies so far...thought I heard a bit of buchanan' sweet dreams in there too...nice!

[NirradGann]

I'm gonna have to rename my computer Twangy,,,since its getting so stuffed full of Twangy goodness! damn i need a bigger hard drive.,,,,

[woodytfc]

wow now that was a sweet surprise awesome 5*

[MyTwangyGuitar]

@woodytfc - The surprise for me was that I even got through it!

[jovima69]

[CharGuitarGirl]

[MyTwangyGuitar]

[andreah53]

[foreverand6days]

[hypnosync1]

I held my breath through the whole video. Great playing!

[will13gallo]

[JeffKnight]

"A Whiter Shade of Pale" is one of the best songs in the history of Rock & Roll..

[bondstreet15]

[wikamuk]

Joe

[ROCKNRON1A]

John Lennon said at one time this was his favorite song and group.

Very cool thanks for posting.

Keep Rock-N.

[cavykahn]

Nice work Esteban!!! But I'll never buy another one of your guitar's from HSN again!!! lol...

[MyTwangyGuitar]

@cavykahn - You still haven't finished your EZ Pay plan!

[dedemsvaarder2]

Nice tone, its good to see you delivering another great video to the youtube community

[jcayer2]

Very nice tone !!! Great playing as usual ... ;)

[spider2003]

[capitainetroisvilles]

Glad to see that the man is back. Great tone!!!

[cromeister777]

Very nicely done. Great tone you've got there.... look forward to more tracks!

[videotaker4356]

You sound like Roy Buchanan on this one !

Look for "Roy Buchanan - the messiah will come again" (it is one of the most popular songs of Roy Buchanan) But I'm pretty sure (by the style of music you play) you know him ...

[dronai]

Such a classic song !

[Gmanstrat]

Great song! Great playing! Thanks Twangy

[kjv444]

Very good. Love you playing and your choice of tunes. My wife liked it too.

[z26o]

Love it, thanks for sharing.

[HarryAndAGuitar]

Where's the branding on the headstock ?

[monicaorange]

Simply GREAT. Like that kind of playing.

Ciao Joop.

[stratocaster7219]

You are back!
