Impromptu à la guitare (sur une création de Jacques)
A piece that Jacques sent me that I really liked, particularly because he's performing his own creation.
So it inspired me and I took the opportunity to put a few notes on his chords. Just a little nod to when we used to play guitar together...

I started a joke (Bee Gees cover)

My cover of I started a joke by the Bee Gees. A hit song when Jacques and I played it on guitar in the 80s on the Champs-Elysées exit of the Paris Metro.
Ticket to ride (Beatles cover)
Переглядів 3День тому
My cover of Ticket to ride by The Beatles. This song is much more technical than it looks. Vocally, it's high-pitched and I didn't have much voice left. And on the solos there are a few notes that have disappeared! And as always with early Beatles songs, the end is a bit cacophonous.

Petit essai de double vidéo / 2 guitares sur une musique des Beatles... J'avais oublié comme la guitare rythmique était dure pour la main gauche (beaucoup d'accords en barrés, je n'ai plus l'habitude). Ça s'entend sur la fin, avec les accords qui "grésillent" un peu... A little attempt at a double video / 2 guitars on Beatles music... I'd forgotten how hard the rhythm guitar was on the left han...

Please, please me (Beatles cover)
Переглядів 2814 днів тому
My cover of this 1962 track, a fine demonstration of the Beatles' vocal creativity in their songs. Note the guitar part by George Harrisson, which is not as easy as it sounds. Similarly, Paul McCartney's bass part is very interesting, asserting itself and foreshadowing the importance of this instrument - until then considered second-rate - in pop-rock songs.
Fifty ways to leave your lover (Paul Simon cover)
Переглядів 214 днів тому
My cover of a great composition by Paul Simon, who was the brilliant composer of the duo Simon & Garfunkel. The song was written in 1975, five years after the duo split up. During the creation of the track, Paul Simon asked drummer Steve Gadd to start a rhythm. And it was from this rhythm that Paul Simon composed his song, taking as a basis an Andalusian cadence modified by his talent. The drum...
Mystery of love (Sufjan Stevens cover)
14 днів тому
My cover of this lovely ballad by Sufjan Stevens, in which the influence of the banjo (the instrument on which Sufjan learnt music) remains present, but which finally brings a sort of abundance of notes, a bit like a waterfall, which contrasts with the melody of the voice. Enjoy!
Saturday (Sparklehorse cover)

A little cover of the track Saturday by Sparklehorse from their album Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot! Admittedly, the title of the album is peculiar, but it has to be said that Mark Linkous was, like any artist on the edge of his seat, rather disturbed, but also an outstanding creator. He really used the guitar to its full potential, with chiselled chords perfectly suited to the melody and ...

Here's my cover of part of Pat Metheny's famous song "September 15th". This part of the song is made up entirely of modified chords (augmented, diminished, inverted, etc.) except for the last B chord. I've written the chords on the screen for you to follow. Have a good listen!
When I'm sixty-four (Beatles cover)
Переглядів 1014 днів тому
This is a re-creation of the Beatles song "When I'm sixty-four", posted in my 64th year... All "instruments" (I have no tubular bells, no clarinet nor snare drum [I used two metal boxes half-filled with dry lentils]... And the bass, is played on my electric guitar and lowered by an octave in the editing software ) played by myself as close as possible to the original recording. Enjoy!

J'avais cette mélodie en tête... Elle devait être chantée, mais comme je n'ai pas les paroles qui vont avec, je la joue à la guitare électrique. Si tu as des paroles qui vont bien dessus, je suis preneur ! Comme toujours, l'utilisation d'écouteurs pour l'audio est recommandée. I had this melody in my head... It was supposed to be sung, but as I don't have the lyrics to go with it, I'm playing i...
