"Wonderful" Beach Boys guitar instrumental

Here's my guitar arrangement of "Wonderful" by the Beach Boys, originally recorded as part of their unreleased 1966/1967 album "Smile." You can hear my favorite Beach Boys version (the Smile-era outtake) here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkwhwuiA3Fg . It is breathtaking.

It was later officially released on "Smiley Smile" -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5CD40z6S60 -- but that's not as good. Then it was released on Brian Wilson's official "Smile" release a few years ago.

Hey bro! Sounds great!

Do you use any special mic when recording your vids? I wanna post some stuff with my new Holo...

[adrianholovaty]

@Emmett2000 Hey, can't wait to hear your Holo! I've used a Sony PCM-D50 stereo microphone in my last few videos, including this one, and I'm very pleased with the sound quality. Plus it's great for recording gigs.

Hey Adrian. What guitar is this? Leo Eimers one? Dupont? Or?

@Xiphosss Hello -- this is an AJL 503 X-0.

such an unusual choice....beautiful!!! a very pretty melody that really works well as a solo guitar piece....and I am also a picky middle-aged musician....

[eyedoc1956]

You did an incredible job! And I'm one of those picky middle-aged musicians who finds fault with most performances. It's an excellent arrangement!
