My dear ex-girlfriend Karen recorded this and thought it was all over at 2mins 03secs and was reaching for the off button on the camcorder, hence the wave in her direction at that point and loss of tempo. Hope it works.

  • Indeed, bloody class!

  • @bladeboy2041

    Thnx Blade.

    Glad you liked it.

  • Well done!!

  • @bushbarnes

    Cheers BB. Thanks for watching.

  • Was going to be a bollocks and say the guitar is tuned too high, but after listening, i actually feel it added(if possible) even more drama to the piece, very, very, very good cover. :D

  • @Abandonfire84

    Thanks A.

    The strings were "new on" 20mins before I posted this. I overwound them, in the hope they would settle down (as you do). The gas fire doesn't help either!

    I prefer your explanation.... that it was done on purpose to add drama.

    Hee hee.

    Cheers,

    Paul

  • What those of you who are not guitarists may not know is that (taking nothing away from Mason Williams in saying it), he had the benefit of overdubs, master engineer and - Oh, yeah - AN ORCHESTRA BACKING HIM UP! The man playing here has a guitar and a recording device with somebody operating it while he plays, yet he's pretty close to spot-on throughout the piece. To those who would find fault, I'd say: "I'm looking forward to seeing YOUR version soon!".

  • Amazing version !!

    I am very impressed, felled some tears welling up.

    Thx for this nice performance.
