Portishead - Silence (outro)

Portishead is one of my favorite bands, and I stumbled across the chord progression for this song this afternoon. "Silence" is one of my favorite tracks on their album, "Third," so I arranged the melody and bassline to the outro with the chord progression and added a half-note percussive part (since the percussion is really what drives the original song so well), and this is the end result of about a half an hour of work.

It's probably a bit of an odd song to arrange for solo acoustic guitar, but I liked how it came out. So, if you feel like I butchered one of your favorite songs, just be thankful that I didn't sing it.

The guitar is a Takamine AN10 recorded with the internal mic on my laptop.

I'm not familiar with this song. But the progression is pretty sweet, anyway.

Check out any of the "related videos"; they're pretty much all the album version of the song.

I know you posted 2 years ago, but it's awesome to see someone working with Portishead music. They're one of my favorites, too but hardly a soul knows them.

Good stuff :)

Yeah, I just did.. It's sort of eerie, but in a good way.
