"Arrival" is a 1976 composition by Swedish pop group ABBA featured on their album of the same name. It is an instrumental piece, mainly the brainchild of member Benny Andersson and had the working titles of "Fiol", "Ode to Dalecarlia" and "Arrival in Dalecarlia".
In 1980 Mike Oldfield recorded a cover-version of the song, which is found on his QE2 album. The artwork for Oldfield's single is a pastiche of ABBA's Arrival album artwork depicting the artist in a Bell 47G helicopter.
My Guitar cover is based around Mike Oldfields version - I made Tabs out of the way I played it which are Free to download from my website philmcgarrick.co.uk
With Thanks to my friend Vladan for his great arrangement and pointing me in the right direction of the Classic Dream Orchestra’s backing available on UA-cam here :- • Arrival
For this recording I used my 1990’s PRS 22 custom birds 10 top trem .
And first time I used a Boss OS-2 Overdrive/ Distortion pedal.
Played through my Alesis Quadraverb Q2 with EFTP patch 0-36.
Sound recorded in Cubase SX 6 and edited with the three 4K video takes in Sony Vegas pro 14.

Hi Mr Phil.
Arrival, it is a great theme of the Swedish ABBA, Sincerely teacher and with all the respect in the world let me tell you,
You are the best instrumental guitarist I know!
You make some excellent performances and you know how to adapt songs sung to instrumentals very well, you do it perfectly, I am very lucky to know you and have your friendship, you are also a great teacher from whom I will learn many musical techniques on guitar.
The guitar that PRS (PAUL RED SMITH) used sounds excellent mind well, a Heavenly sound, I loved the sound of the Prs, it looks like an electro-acoustic guitar, the pedals sound mega beautiful sound, and the distortion pedals and the others that I managed to see they sound perfect, the cameras have a perfect quality.
excellent sound captured by the microphone.
Greetings Angel.😊😊😊😊😊😊🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🌎🌎🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Wow Angel - thank you for such great comments ! It's very kind of you and much appreciated ! very pleased you liked this one. It's very simple just one tune played twice in three different registers (octaves) All the best Phil

Arrival, is possibly one of my favourite and arguably one of the most underrated ABBA tracks. Phil, your version here, is yet again fantastic, it demonstrates your superb music skills and guitar talent. I am editing my comment to add that you made this look far easier to perform than I suspect that it would be for most musicians.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us. 10 out of 10 from me👍👍
Wow that's a great comment DicksonUK8 ! And I'm very chuffed to receive it :-) All the best.. Phil
That's a lovely PRS you have there Phil. I had one of the flat-bodied semi-hollow SE's for many years with an action like silk. Great version of this classic M.O. recording. Not one I'll try all the way through, I don't think, my fingers are no longer nimble enough to cope with playing around the 20th fret. 10/10
Thanks for the great comments Alan - yes the PRS is a lovely guitar to play - totally different sound to the Strats or Hank but ideal for a MO recording as he uses one quite a lot. when you analyse the song - it's just one simple tune played twice in three different registers.Lol All the best.. Phil
@@random275 Thanks Phil . . . yes, those 20th fretters will certainly be suited to my digits! Will certainly try the main melody. Should sound good on my 12.
Very nicely played again Phil, such a good chill out number 👍
Your guitar looks and sounds terrific, it looks a really well made instrument.
Thanks a lot Mitch - yes its a great guitar but doesn't sound like a Strat or the Hank Marvin sound but for anything Mike Oldfield it's perfect as that's the model he uses. Very pleased you liked it... All the best.. Phil
