Salfromchatham Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 This is a short song... and the guitar is simple, except for the transition from G to Dadd9... And my finger still hurts. Anyways I would like to throw it in a set somewhere... my generation would recognize it for sure. I wish I could add a harmonica track, but I dont know how to do "minor". Hope you like it! https://soundcloud.c...chatham/breathe ========================================================================================= (added this second song... I "stole" it from EM7, and you should go listen to his version - of course it is better than mine. But I love the song - one of favorites of Neil's - and I wanted to do it nonetheless. I did add a harmonica in this one. Its a solo in the middle, and after experimenting with different keys, I settled on D for the Harp. And yes. that's my mug below. Enjoy staring at it for four minutes! Go!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Tkvfj03sV0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
62burst Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I wish I could add a harmonica track, but I dont know how to do "minor". It's easy: you suck. ; ). Kidding, of course. Love acoustic, stripped-down versions of vaunted heavyweights such as Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. Esp. bluegrassing them up. Thanks for the tune, and thanks for not reaching for the capo; it made it possible to try a few harmonica keys on your SoundCloud version; Harps in key of C and G hit some of it, but it would probably take a chromatic harmonica, or a diatonic for that particular key (Emaj was a no-go). Got a concertina hanging on the wall? Thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a concertina hanging on the wall? Thx. I suck too! Lol! I couldn't get anything going on my harps either. I could find most of the notes on my A harp but not quite enough to play along confidently. Part of the problem is I only have 4 harps A, Bb, C, and G. Another part of the problem is I suck and then blow but obviously not in the right order! I would like to try a cross harp eventually but that might just screw up what little I do know on the straight harp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuestionMark Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Enjoyed your rendition. Guitar playing/picking really stood out as excellent and your vocals were equally on par as always. Sounds like a crowd pleasing keeper in your repertoire. QM aka Jazzman Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissouriPicker Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Two good renditions, Sal. I like Albuquerque the best. I like a lot of Neil's stuff and I think you've got the feel of his music. You made it your own. Sounded like a "Sal" song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blindboygrunt Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Two songs in the one day ! Both great. I'm partial to Neil Young so it's my favourite. But the floyd one is a great idea , works real well . Don't often hear a guy in the corner with an acoustic playing pink floyd songs , so it's bring a smile to a few faces I would think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm listening at work , will put earphones on When I get home and give the post the respect its due , but I couldn't wait and just litwn d on phone speaker , still was able to tell , or guess , that it didn't sound like a Gibson and didn't sound like a Martin , forgot about the Eastman and thought you had bought another guitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buc McMaster Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Don't hear many Floyd acoustic covers........a pleasant surprise, Sal. Have some quite strange memories of the time when this was a new release, '73 was it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blindboygrunt Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 73 indeed clever clogs Am looking forward to sal doing the next song after that which if I'm right is the one with the train Or who wants a go at great gig in the sky ? 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatbaroque Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Loved the Albuquerque.Can now add Sal to the list of Em7, Neil Young and Bugs Bunny who have made Albuquerque famous. Breath was a good take too. I can see you covering the full back catalogue of Pink Floyd.Starting with "Careful with that axe Eugene" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gfa Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 ... Love acoustic, stripped-down versions of vaunted heavyweights such as Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. /size] Me too. Floyd, Led Zep, Alice Cooper, Cheap Trick, Bowie, etc. When the song has good bones, it can so sweet done acoustically. Nie job, Sal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneS Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Yeah- late to the show, Sal, but these are fun. Always interested in the tunes you select; way to keep it interesting. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
