My Resistance Is Low

One of my favourite tunes of all time - someone once said that "My Resistance Is Low" was the perfect popular song - and written by Hoagy Carmichael in 1951. He sings it with Jane Russell in the film "The Las Vegas Story", but my favourite version is his own recording. Everyone plays "Stardust" or "Georgia On My Mind" - great songs, but there's something magical to me about this one. Played here in the key of C on my Martin, and I'm playing the whole thing fingerstyle - not like the Shadows!

Hello!

What a nice interpretation of My Resistance Is Low. Very beautifully expressed. I do a version of The Shadows classic from 1961. The only version I've heard until I saw your delicate interpretation on YouTube.

Best regards from Stockholm, Sweden

@blueslab Thanks very much, Rolf - glad you liked it. If you haven't heard it already, Hoagy Carmichael's original is the tops for me. :-)

Pretty, pretty good. I recognise the song and its not one I would immediately have thought of a ragtime guitar tune, but it works really well.

Thanks Tom - hope you and your other "sound" are well. :-) No, it's not intended as a ragtime number - I'm trying to play it pretty straight and true to the original song - within the limitations of the acoustic guitar, of course! :-)
