Classical Gas in one week... a guitar challenge!

DHS, even though you probably don't mean it, you're sounding really condescending. Something can be seen as funny to you but be completely serious and emotion to someone else. What do you think of this?



Probably laughable, right?

Very impressive Patrick! Bravo! Like most art there can be alot of diferent interpretations of the same music. The first guy played the more "classical" version, classical is an adjective here not a genre of music. Just like the original minus the orchestra in the background, of course. I remember well when it was a big hit, playing constantly on the AM radio. It's a great song, not too many instrumentals make the pop chart top twenty back then. Tubular Bells was another instrumental which was a big hit.

Your version was a diferent interpretation, a more creative one, diferent timing. You two played on two very diferent instruments. His, traditional folk sound with looser strings making more twang, nylon strings, being out of tune non-withstanding. Yours was much cleaner, strings much tighter but that's, again, partly due to the diferent instruments. Metal strings? Your finger transitions much tighter. From a Alpinezone Idol perspective you win hands down but I still was pretty impressed with the first guy, it's a hard song.

Thanks, SRO! Definitely different arrangements. One could argue that one is better than the other, but each has musical merit. I am obviously partial to the Tommy Emmanuel arrangement. It is more technically demanding, and more interesting. But the original Mason Williams tune is great as well.

High def version of the "final" product coming soon. It's not quite perfect, but I'm pleased with it. Will post soon!
