Written in 7/4 time by Dave Brubeck, the piece is an example of Brubeck's exploration of time signatures. According to Brubeck, it was written during a single trip from his home to the recording studio and was recorded the same day. The composition is based on a blues structure but also has a distinct country and western feel, as implied in the title (a square dance being a fixture of western U...

Lucky Southern guitar chord melody A little known Keith Jarratt Bossa Nova number which is perfect for guitar. I may have to record this again as it's a little slow and a bit rough!

This song won the Academy Award for the best original song 1936! Dorothy Fields remarked, "The first time Jerry played that melody for me I went out and started to cry. The release absolutely killed me. I couldn't stop, it was so beautiful." Noted dance critic Arlene Croce considers Swing Time Astaire and Rogers' best dance musical, a view shared by John Mueller and Hannah Hyam. It features fou...

Use it or Lose it No 7. Wide Eyed and Legless I used to sing this years ago and after seeing the brilliant Andy Fairweather Low on the New Year show thought I'd revive it. Great song Andy and thanks! Happy New Year!
Moanin'
Переглядів 912 роки тому
Ed’s Use it or Lose it No 6. This joyous Call & Response blues tune is curiously called Moanin’ and composed by Bobby Timmons in 1958 when he was with the Art Blakey Jazz Messengers. Most blues guitarists have a version of this as did but then I didn’t play it for years. I’ve revived it to teach to a guitar pupil of mine who keeps me on my toes (albeit, his is a slightly simpler version!). I fi...

Route 66
Переглядів 1302 роки тому
Use it or lose it (No 2). Old tunes learnt which could've been forgotten. My inspiration for reviving this version is twofold: 1. A dear old pal told me he’s relinquished his long-held dream of travelling Route 66 on his Harley due to unwelcome health problems which brought the song to mind. 2. Friday 13th is looming! While I’ve played this song recently in R&B bands (Stones’s version), I haven...
Straighten Up and Fly Right
Переглядів 3862 роки тому
Many guitarists spend time working out new ‘head’ arrangements of favourite tunes which must be played regularly to keep them current however, some escape and fall by the wayside. Over the next few months, I’ll post a few that got away to remind me of how I played them. Straighten Up And Fly Right was composed by Nat King Cole (1943) and taken to publisher Irving Mills who promptly gave himself...
Hallelujah I Love Her So

Hallelujah I Love Her So I used to play this song when I bought this guitar 42 yrs ago (funded completely by guitar lessons I used to give) which has since been refretted by top luthier Richard Bartrum and sounding playing better than ever! I love this 1956 Ray Charles R&B song which has been recorded by so many "Greats" over the years.

Here’s a re imagined song which is just a bit of squit (other words are available). I imagined a collaboration between Antonio Carlos Jobim and Allan Smethurst where Jobim’s lyrics would try to include Mt Corcovado in Rio with the Christ the R...

Great sound
I think the pan direction laser show combined with dry ice effect in the background is amazing! (Where did that voice come from?)😊😊😊😊 3:19
Beautiful Ed !
Dunno who you are, but you've definitely got "it". Enjoyed that. I only stumbled across this / you because I was browsing UA-cam for anything connected to Richard out of curiosity having just dropped a guitar into him for a refret.
Hi Steve, I've just seen your comment which I thank you for! Guitar playing should be fun and while the vocals scare me somewhat I just love playing those chords!
loved it!
Thanks you for commenting. It's a great song written by a genius. Enjoy and thanks. Ed
Nice one Ed.
Lovely Ed xx
