64Guitars & Blooby have both suggested I cover this song, numerous times of the last few years...so here goes. I found it quite challenging to get comfortable with it. He (Pete) sings it so high, so casually & with such fragility, I couldn't get that same feeling in any Key I tried. This is the original key, singing it lower. I really wanted to come close with the strings but it is my own, on the fly arrangement. All the horns are from my EWI, not sure what the patches actually were (don't have the key anymore), but basically it's a muted trumpet, baritone & trombone I think. Also, I couldn't for the life of me couldn't play the right strum pattern.
BR80, in car.
1 uke/vocal (stereo)
3 EWI
Blue, Red & Grey

Yaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
Always loved this tune and you do a killer job. Was expecting just uke and voice so the other instrumentation was a treat.

Nice job, Hook. The EWI really works well with this.
