Butterflies In The Rain - Vocal & Guitar Duet

I recorded a mandolin/guitar instrumental version of this as my last video of 2011. Going through the words in the sheet music afterwards, I felt I could do a bit more with it, and thought it might be fun to do it as a vocal & guitar duet - in the style of Frank Crumit or Cliff Edwards (Ukulele Ike).

So, here it is - guitar parts played on my Chisholm No. 18 guitar... [http://www.ianchisholm.co.uk/lutherie/Lutherie.html/]. I've pitched the tune in the key of G to suit the vocals. The main guitar is being played in basic G voicing, and the second guitar is capo'ed on the 7th fret and voiced in C.

There's music, tab and chords for each of the two guitar parts on my website at:

Hi Will , Congrats on 2011 I enjoy your channel,website and music,Thank you.Could I make a request to mark the aniversay of Scott's Terra Nova expedition who reached the south pole 17 January 1912.Albeit in second place to Amundson ,it is one of the best adventure books ever written The Worst Journey in the World by Aspley Cherry Garrard.They always enjoyed singing a good sea shanty if you have the time and have an appropriate song.

@plclrk Ah - one of my favourite books, read many times... I don't usually do shanties but I'll see (time and other chores allowing) if I can think of something appropriate. :-)
