Theme For An Imaginary Western (played by me)

Written by Jack Bruce and performed often by the American group, Mountain.
.-------- As for me, I was the European teaching assistant and worldwide manager of Erick Friedman - one of the 20th century's greatest violinists - from 1994 until his sad death in 2004. I now teach violin and guitar, privately, in London.

I've seen you go from no guitar to this and it's been a fun journey to say the least. You weren't lucky, you just worked hard and this is the pay off for your dedication.

The tone is exact and West's tone must be pretty illusve because foks have been trying to copy it since day one.  Although I've heard it close before, I've never heard it perfected...until now. Well done and BRAVO!

@6LQ6 - thanks mate, but 'no guitar' is not quite accurate - I merely stopped playing guitar for thirty years!

[depper]

Oh yea, this time you nailed it, Stephen!

I think you are about the only musician that's taken the time AND has the ability/skill to reproduce the subtle antics of Leslie West. That's the epitome of the Les Paul Jr sound we've all come to love about Leslie West's pioneer and revolutionary way of playing back in the old days.

Great version, thanks

[Hardinge7]

Thank you - that is wonderful. Tasteful Leslie West licks, performed perfectly! What is your amp and or pedals to get this tone? Its great.
