Take Five on the Weissenborn lap steel guitar tuned in Dm7

Hello ! This is an old challenge I worked on. I modulated the song from Eb to D, then arranged it for the lap steel in my new favorite tuning, Dm7 (DADFAC). I tried playing it fast, as everybody does, then I tried playing it slowly, and it works ! Sounds creepy, great for Halloween ! Tell me what you think of it ! Enjoy !

I've loved this Brubeck song since I was a kid (Paul Desmond's Take Five). I've heard the DBQ play it many times in many renditions -- including pushing the tempo and slower. I've always enjoyed a little slower -- more feeling. This rendition is great! Thanks for thinking outside the (acoustical) box!

@scoach1999 Thanks !! I am still working on it. Having the idea is one thing, performing it right is another...

[crocauslide]

Thanks, that makes my day !! Inspiring someone to play music beats any compliment !

Your playing is much better than the original version. It can be the best theme song ever. I love this dark sound.

@IchibanNo01 Thanks. I highly doubt it is better than the original, but thanks for the positive input.

This is a disgrace. Jk, this is insanely cool.

No no no! This is NOT take five! It's . . . take four . . . maybe. You're playing a lot of the same notes, but it is NOT the same song.

You go quite flat at around 0:29, other than that it's cool!
