Tribute to Geir's "My Friend" - A second cover

[des0free]

Well, since the Beatles have had a few different people cover songs like "Yesterday", I figure Geir's "My Friend" deserves a second tribute cover.  I just like this song so much!  I'm much less skilled than Geir or VannCadd, but I couldn't resist trying it!  Despite my feeble skills on electric guitar I also tried improvising a little instrumental part at the end.  It was all done on the MBR on three tracks.

Geir, I hope you like it.  You're one of my big heroes in the forum!

[Geir]

I am!!, like ORH says "chuffed to bits", this was really beautiful!!

You've done a wonderful wonderful version of this song. You perform it with so much warmth and emotion and I'm really honored that you've taken the time to learn this song and make this recording. Performance is stellar and the recording is great. I love that instrumental part on the end too.

THANK YOU !!!!

Wow!!!

This is my favourite song from Geir out of the many he has and you pulled it right off Deso. You changed the tempo and the outro guitar is awesome. I love all 3 tracks of this now.

Very soothing song all around.

Geir must be happy

Deso... what a great tribute to a great song writer and singer. Nice one.

Hey - this sounds great Des!

Your vocals are super crisp and clear! Guitar sounds cool too.

One question - How did you like those "thumb" chords? I thought they were a killer!

Good work on a great song man!

This is superb Des...classy playing and your vocal performance is exceptional.

It's simple, effective and very lovely. The guitar at the end is perfect, just a nice melody line to complement the feel of the song, no need to be ashamed of it. It fits well and is just the right length.

Great tribute version of a great song.

Cheers,

Nigel

Nice job!  Simple it but takes care of the essentials with a relaxed, reflective mood.
My favorite line in this song is 'you'd come and get me even if I didn't have a boat'
