      😊 Santo & Johnny Farina : Sleepwlk ,1959. Recorded on Pye- in C . N B the F minor chords give it a unique tang
      :- 24 yrs ago I 'scored it out ',note by note on to music paper - v time consuming, & learned to play it on piano / keyboard ( nice with certain 6/8 rhythms) Th Shadows 1961 version was much different : 'heavyer' & with some altered phrasing.

    2:06 RRIIITTTCCHHIIIIEEE. All jokes aside man awesome cover. The reason i play guitar was because of La Bamba and this song. Saw it as kid and fell in love with the music and instrument. Your rendition is so close to pedal steel and i'm digging that subtle slap back reverb/echo!

      But this song is really a simple song. But this guy is not playing it so simple. He is playing it fairly intermediate. Guitar playing can get fairly complex. But even this is not complex. That's why I respect good musicians. Dedication is the magic word.
      What I'm trying to say is, don't get discouraged. With practice it becomes easier. That's why they say. Practice makes perfect. It really does. This song is worth your time and effort. Really.

    Sublime. Thanks for tabbing it. Some of those chords got lost in the seventies so it’s great to see them here.

    Great playing and nice tone my friend. Next to Jeff Beck's version this is my second fav. - and that says a lot!

      Oh man I was just scrolling through the comments thinking that besides the original Jeff Beck and and Tom are the best versions.Jeff's take on "A Day in the Life" is also quite a standout version. But I'm getting off track now.

    I'm a bit late, but how do you get your guitar to produce that noise? Is it a footswitch? Sorry, I'm a bit newer to the guitar
