🎸 Arrival - ABBA/Mike Oldfield - guitar cover

- Опубліковано 27 вер 2024
- Hi! My guitar version of ABBAs instrumental outro from Arrival. This tune is inspired of Swedish traditional folk music and the working name during recording of the album was Ode To Dalecarlia "Dalarna" in Swedish, a province in the heart of Sweden.
As my green screen lighting has decided to take a long break, you don't have to see much of me - the video is more like a tourist commercial for Dalecarlia, where you also can see some pics of the strange habits of the people of Dalarna - gathering together, playing fiddles...😄
My backing track is here: • 🛤️ Arrival - backing ...
Hope you'll enjoy!

This is just beautiful! you are so talented! I am so happy to see your channel doing so well! Very deserved, my friend. Love to you! This song makes me want to go live in a cabin somewhere far away from the crazy cities.
Thank you so much 😀 Emery! This is music that holds a special place in my heart and I definitely feel the same, it's peaceful music from places where life has a rhythm closer to our souls - at least I hope so...
Wish you a pleasant week - take care!

Nailed it my man! Every note on the money with a killer surf-verb tone twist!!
Hi my friend, thank you for the compliments - very much appreciated. Wish you a great week!
Hi John
I hope your cheque from the Dalecarlia Tourist Board is in the post as your upload is a super showcase for what looks like a beautiful unspoilt part of Sweden. The cultural crossovers are fascinating, the similarities with Scottish music is uncanny and with the folk traditions found in many parts of England which involve dancing around a pole in traditional costume.
Your upload prompted me to have a quick search through my collection of vinyl albums and guess what, I came across a copy of Arrival by ABBA.... I can’t recall ever playing the album or even where it came from and therefore have never heard the title track before.
(In my defence the UK radio stations have force fed and overdosed the public a limited number of ABBA’s massive hits over the years which when considered along with the theatre productions of their music and the Hollywood movies has left me (wrongly) with no appetite to further explore their albums.)
Your upload has shown that I was wrong…
Finally it goes without saying that the music and production is first class. The use of different sounds and the multi tracked layers provide such a beautiful rich texture….
Best wishes and take care
Neville
Big thanks, Neville! Finding a 44 year old unplayed vinyl sounds great, can guarantee it won't happen to me...The maypole came to Sweden from Germany during the 15 century and was quickly moved from May to midsummer, maybe with some help from the church, not liking the people dancing around fires, better with something that maybe could be interpreted as a christian symbol. The Swedish folk music is a bit confusing, there is something you could call mainstream, but the musical dialect varies from village to village, just travel a mile or two and the local musicians play (or played) very different tunes and in another style. Some of it sounds really weird...😁
Have a pleasant Sunday - take care!
Superlike 60!!!Great performance John 👋

Hi Leo, thank you for the compliments, my friend. The video is a little bit "touristish" but on the whole Dalarna is a very nice place and a lot of old and genuine Swedish culture still is alive there.
Take care, Leo - and have a pleasant week!

Ric
Hi Ric, really appreciate your comment here, tried as hard as I could to make the guitars sound a little bit like violins and this was as close as I could get. Could have got much closer with one of the Line 6 Variax guitars (if they are guitars...😁) but I think a better echo is on top of my wishing list. Big thanks again, Ric - take care!

Hi Winston, thousand thanks for a great comment! Green screen is fun, you can create a lot of nice effects - but it's also consumes a lot of your time...could be used playing instead...😀
Really a nice job !!!

Wow John ! I played this song with Swedish folk musicians at the Folk At Heart folk festival in Örebro in January 2019. Your version sounds wonderful !!! #80. All the best. Tryggvi
Hi Tryggvi, thanks a lot! So you visited Örebro and took part in the festival, that's really nice. Did you use your guitar or are you maybe a violin player too?
Wish you a pleasant week!
@@JohnAlex Many years ago a young nyckelharpa player was working at my neighbor's farm. We played together several times and I tried to learn and figure out the chords in a few Swedish folk songs. Then she went back to Sweden and it was not before many years later that she called me and asked if she and her spouse could stay at my house for a few days while they were at a conference here in Iceland. Then we started playing again :-) They have visited me and I have stayed several times in their small red log house in the Swedish forest. We have played at several folk festivals in Sweden and a few performances here in Iceland. Here you can see one of our performances in Vídalíns kirkja .ua-cam.com/video/jriLc62rPuo/v-deo.html All the best. Tryggvi
@@Tryggvi55 Thanks for the link, great performance and Brita really knows how to play that instrument. Even if there's keys it's easy to make them sound like an angry cat, my father built one (a pretty decent one) so I have tried...no success...
@@rejectedguitarinstrumentals Brita is a really great nyckelharpa player and our collaboration has always been a great pleasure for me. In one of my visits to Sweden, I had the chance to meet her father, Jan Erik Wideberg. About a year later he past away.... www.sydsvenskan.se/2017-08-03/minnesord-om-jan-erik-wideberg He actually played and built nyckelharpas... You should ask Brita how to use the bow and you're ready to go.... And no angry cats anymore. Hahaha. Best wishes. Tryggvi
Hi John, great upload. Thanks for sharing.
Best Wishes.

Anständigt fast du behövde ju inte ha så mycket krasljud i gitarren. Men det duger/JSH
Krasljud? Är det så det heter? Tack i alla fall...
Great content
Thanks for sharing
I wrote a song please check it out ☺️
Hi, thanks for listening and for your nice comment! I'll listen!
Hi John
An excellent version indeed, and beautifully presented.
I had forgotten just how good this piece of music is.
Take good care!
Geoff.
Hi Geoff, really glad you enjoyed this post, the old Swedish folk music that is the basis for this holds a special place in my heart, in my younger days I spent several years playing it on violin, my friends and neighbours where all happy when I stopped and went back to guitar...😂
Many thanks for your kind comment, wish you a pleasant week - take care!
Hi John,
sorry for the late comment. Do we wonder why this notification appeared on my channel just an hour ago ? UA-cam :-((((
A wonderful piece of music along with nice pictures that want me to go there- may be some day as we have some friends that own a house in sweden.
Have a good weekend and stay safe.
Ernst
Hi Ernst, many thanks for a lovely comment. I sincerely recommend a visit to Darlecarlia if you should visit Sweden. There is a lot of musical activity there, not only folk music. But avoid to go there in July, it's summer vacation here in Sweden and everybody is already there...
Wish you a pleasant week - take care!
The Message Of Salvation To All.
Romans 10:8-10
8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart”-that is, the word of faith which we are preaching,
9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;
10 for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.
Thanks a lot! Have a great week!
great version John, like it from New Wave Dave like 60
Hi Dave, thousand thanks for listening and for your encouraging comment - much appreciated!
MY BEST PERSON.. LOVE THAT SOUND... I KNOW THAT SONGGGGGGGGG.....YEARS A GO MY FAMILY CAME FROM NORWAY
Hi Shane, so glad you liked it and I really appreciate your good comments and kind support! Interesting to hear you have Norwegian roots, Frida of ABBA is also from Norway. Take care, Shane - and have a pleasant week!
beautiful instrumental version ! nice job !!
Hi Paul, thanks a lot! Have a great week and take care!
It is true that this title cannot deny its inspiration and it is well so.
I didn't know this song and went to listen to the original.
Excellent overall job because your Bt sounds really great and the guitar sound keeps the spirit of the original version.
(At 2.55mn there is a violinist who looks like you? Should I change my glasses?)
Good job..........Best regards......Mic
Hi Mic, thanks a lot for your great comment! Then the little problem with your glasses, I think your optician will find them perfect. But the guy a 2.55 is not me. I didn't notice when I put the video together, but he looks like me, very much so. I showed it to my wife, she smiled and said " didn't you stop playing violin 35 years ago?" Yes, I did, it was probably a relief for my friends and neighbours - but this pic was a bit surprising.
Wish you a pleasant week - and take care!
👍👍
