Old School Musicianship… Rock and Roll.. Jazz… Blues… Big Band even…

Okay... now I need some of this....

Blue Swede - Hooked On A Feeling

 

[DirkCamacho]

OK guys I was dragged over here by the good people over at the Song For Everything thread. They never stop talking about what's going on over here and they wore me down. So how's it work and how can I jump in?

 

[BrendaBear]

Well, this thread is all about old songs that are really good musicianship. It is not at all about posting obscure songs or some rare piece. This is about “Hey remember this hit?”

I may have described it better on the first page…

My summary was pretty close… doesn’t that make sense?

Oh - and there is no competition at all - you are inspired to share “Cover Me” or “Glory Days”? Just post it! Preferably the version we all know and love.

My first thought, already posted back on page 8. What better than My Old School with Skunk Baxter on lead guitar. I'll keep looking.

Don’t worry about repeats - happens all the time. It’s all good. All the jazz cats post Take Five or Kind Of Blue right off the bat. Which is cool - they are soooo good,

I know we’ve all heard this song a million times, but I’d never seen this performance of it until recently. There’s something about watching a TV performance of the song when it was brand new to everyone that breathes life into a song we’ve all listened to for so many years.

I can’t wait for today to be over because then I will have played the pedal steel part of this song and all that damn practice will be done.

I think there are few people who can play in such a way that their guitar complements their voice so perfectly. His guitar tone is as clear as his voice. The way he accents certain notes is just brilliant.

This is truly one of the best songs ever written, in my opinion.

He plays that country hammer-on a lot, and it sounds great. I need to learn how to play this JT fingerstyle.
