Someday Sweetheart

This was written by the brothers John and Reb Spikes in 1919, and recorded twice by Jelly Roll Morton in the 1920s. I love Morton's sound and I've tried to get a bit of that 1920s feel into the arrangement ,which is for tenor guitar, rhythm 6-string guitar and acoustic bass guitar.

This is a wonderful tune, which also gets an "added value" with this guitar performance !

Greetings from Nisse in Sweden !

I love the guitars you use on this... any chance you could tell us what they are?

[HenfieldWill]

The backing guitar, which also takes the lead on the 2nd chorus, is a Martin XC1T. The main guitar is a custom tenor (4-string) guitar tuned C-G-D-A (4,3,2,1) made for me by a luthier called Ian Chisholm. The bass line is from a Tanglewood acoustic bass. The bass was DI'd into my 8-track, and the two guitars were recorded acoustically using a Shure SM58. ;-)

This style is very smooth and nice, I enjoyed the performance and the timbre of the instruments!

It's a grand sound, very nicely arranged. Thanks a lot for sharing it. And I think you are very clever doing the multi-track thing!
