Sleepwalk (Santo & Johnny cover)

[Johnny Robbo]

I'm blown away by the responses to this! Thank you so much, chaps 

On another note, I just bookmarked your video on the modes. I;m going to take the plunge here in the next couple weeks and try to teach an old dog some new tricks. Thank you for doing that.

No worries, mate. Hope you find it useful!

Great song choice too. I've always loved the Santos and Johnny original. But I think my favourite might be the version by Joe Satriani and Robert Fripp from the 2002 album "Strange Beautiful Music".

Larry Carlton did a version that is a beacon for the 80's production I came to loathe. Cheesy keyboards, cheesy reverbs, cheesy arrangement with great playing over the top of it. Rant over. Must be the Bushmill's.

I think most guitarists (myself included) buy a slide at some point, fart around with it for a few minutes, then throw it a drawer someplace and forget about it.

Please get out of my head.

Wonderful version John. A long standing favorite tune of mine and millions of other folks too...and you've certainly done it justice. That drum thing you do is becoming your trademark. Such a live sound! The slide work is brilliant and your phrasing is spot on. Really well done on all counts.

Bravo maestro!

Hello John and all the SC guy...

I always liked this song since I have  dicovered  it by Hank Marvin and shadows...

I have made a version after John with a lap steel 6string very cheap (Harley Benton , Thoman shop in internet) 79 euros !!

I think in fact that it is more difficult to play  it " clean"  with slide slide guitar and thank you for the post about the technique
