Season of the Witch

Donovan's deft ditty, done by me here with but one guitar and voice. If I'da had a sitar I'da used it, but hey.

This song has special meaning for me and I listen to many, many versions. I like Courtney Loves a great deal. This has the coolest guitar I've ever heard. Sounds like three guitars. Wish I could see it transcribed to find out what's going on.

Simpler than you might think; on these "Giant Guitar" videos I split the audio track into two or three (occasionally more) and add different effects to the multiple tracks, mixing them in different proportions. On this I think there's just the plain 12 with an octave-down pitch-shifted clone track added in at strategic places.

I thought you had an old Coral Electric Sitar! :-)

By the way, in the chorus, is the E chord supposed to be major or minor? The original record doesn't really have a major or minor 3rd, but it *feels* like it's major...

[alonzogarbanzo]

I agree, Donovan probably "meant" E major. But I do E minor just for the sheer hell of it.  Ha ha!

And that Coral wasn't mine at the Pub...borrowed...sigh.
