Fairest Isle by Purcell

[jackofall]

It's been ages since I've done anything! I've really missed it all - just so many damned things to do! I have got to play the guitar for a singer in a school concert. I was given this tune and had to work out the chords from the piano score, so I thought I'd try and record it. I used the bass guitar for the piano's left hand and classical guitar for the rest of it. I hope you like it - maybe a bit too tame for some of you rockers!

Awesome classical guitar work!  If I ever buy a classical guitar, I'll be asking you for lessons! 

PS. I wonder what this would sound like satched up....hmmm...

Any rocker would know that this is where it all started!! Acoustic guitar used to be just "Guitar" at some point.


Like the playing a lot!


Later,

P.S.

SW, that would be cool to Satch up!!

You are just to great Jackofall.  Have missed you!  All your playing is great. I remember your punk rock somewhere over the rainbow.  LOL What a change this is.  But it is really very nice.  I wish I could play like you :0

[OsCKilO]

first rate playing!!!!!!

Pure goodness...!

I'm amazed that Purcell has made it here, I would have expected JSB to have beaten him.

Either way, excellent stuff.

This is great! I love classical guitar, and it sounds very nice recorded.

Very neat how you used the bass as the left piano hand, I'd never have thought to do that.

Excellent post.

i'm jealous....i really want to satch this up....i luv classical....metal/rock/bluez  style....so many notes....all in the right place....shoot...

ok, just sit back and enjoy!

Beautiful. All I ever did on classical was pick out "Pictures of Matchstick Men" then junk it for an electric. Nice to hear something from you again, with some very skilled playing.

BTW, did you ever hear from the composer of that great "western" piece you did a while back? IIRC you were going to send him your version.

Cheers,
