Title: Cry me a river, Julie London cover
Post by: Jean Pierre on May 07, 2017, 02:01:17 PM
I did not know this song, discovered by chance on YT. From wikipedia it became a standard of jazz, taken over by more than 150 artists as diverse as Joan Baez, Jeff Beck, Ray Charles, Joe Cocker, Ella Fitgerald, Peggy Lee, Johny Otis, Nina Simone, Rod Stewart to name a few that I know

Here is a "classic" guitar arrangement .. but I work on the jazz guitar version which is very good (I'm looking for a female voice to sing it HF? ;D

thanks all the guys for listening

Really smooth. Great tone and playing skills! Love it when the 'lead' guitar part comes in at the end.

Excellent.

I really love this, it's pretty haunting on its own like this. Transports you to a smokey French jazz club late at night (or early in the morning). Are you playing an archtop? My first introduction to this song was Joe Cocker's vamped up version, and Aerosmith's more traditional slow take - I love when a song can be taken in so many different directions. Great stuff.

How does your Guitar sound French?

From the first chord, I thought, Voila! C'est parti!

Blackout Bump!

It's nice Ted to have taken this song out of oblivion
It had been posted in 2017 and I confess that I didn't remember it ;RÉ

..and finally I find the sound quite good and I will have to look at which plug ins I had used, in any case the guitar was my takamine Hirade nylon string, I love this guitar

...for information I had made a few days later a sung version  ;)
