OK, we all know this one wasn't originally by Roxy Music, but nonetheless it's one of Bryan Ferry's greatest hits, so...

 ;)

Many congrats to James!

Lots of guitar work here...mainly Gibson Les Paul Gold Top/Kemper and Godin SA guitar via Boss GP-10 for fretless bass.

The really important, positive and good thing for me is to begin again to make some noise here...

Love this song and this is so well done you guys!
Very, very nice job with all the guitar parts and a perfectly respectful rendering of the vocal. Lots of feeling comes across with that vocal and the lead guitar parts. A great performance!

Have had this song as an earworm in my head for a week after noticing John dabbling with the chords and melody during the Get Back documentary. I think John would like this...

I saw that too,I sat through the whole series in one go.

And thanks Alfredo for letting me on board. My microbr is not working so had to wing it on the MacBook using one of my berhinger mics a whole new learning curve.

Yeah! Great Glaswegian accent! Great cover and great whistle solo. The accent and the whistle solo were a great surprise and added your personality to the song!
Flawless playing!

Great to hear you back Alfredo, and what a great version of this classic. Love the arrangement and playing, the guitar sound you used for the solo is superb, in fact the arrangement of all the instruments is fantastic and they sound great. Topped off with a great vocal from Jim, what's not to like? Nothing. I loved it all, well done you guys.

Thank you all!

BTW, I hadn't noticed that I posted Jealous Guy on the anniversary of John Lennon's death, so...this is an inconscious tribute too.

Ooooh yes indeed. I did know this was going to be good before pressing play and it doesn't dissapoint. That is some beautiful instrumentation you put down Alfredo. Love the echo/delay effects on the single string picking and the lead tones are bloody magic. Lovely vocal Jim and the little Scottish-isms made it for me.
