Chris Amer - Such, Such Were The Joys
“I mention the spawning of the toads because it is one of the phenomena of spring which most deeply appeal to me, and because the toad, unlike the skylark and the primrose, has never had much of a boost from poets.”
George Orwell, Some Thoughts on the Common Toad, 1946

“The experience is one of intense longing…Inexperienced people (and inattention leaves some inexperienced all their lives) suppose, when they feel it, that they know what they are desiring. Thus if it comes to a child while he is looking at a far off hillside he at once thinks ‘if only I were there’" C.S. Lewis, Pilgrim’s Regress 3rd ed., 1943 Amertenor/Electric/Bass - Chris Amer Recorded/Mixed...

Thro’ the warld wou’d I gang wi’ the Lad that loves me - in 2 keys - 5-String Scottish Tenor Guitar
Переглядів 843 роки тому
This is a tune that I learned entirely from manuscript. It’s in the ‘Highland Collection’ published by the Highland Music Trust. The tune is sufficiently old for there to be no named author. I’ve put it in 2 new keys, and had a go at using a common motif throughout the accompaniment. Comments/Criticisms/Etc welcome Instrument by Taran Guitars - taranguitars.co.uk www.chrisamer.com

Beautiful, thank you 🙏🏻
Great playing, especially the sensitive accompaniment. What's the tuning?
Very beautiful music! Loved the groove!
Good Job!
Ohhh, I really loved this...thank you.
what electric model is this?
Looks like a Mustang with 70's era head stock and humbuckers and no control plate.
This is a bit late, but Fender brought out a Mustang retro re-issue about 2015 with that woodgrain. The 70s models were all painted as I recall.
@@Kim_Miller It took some searching.Known as the American Shortboard Mustang.Very nice piece!
Transcendent. Thank you. Are there any videos of you playing your new tenor?
