Read description for details. It's like another load lifted off my shoulder.

That was pretty darn note perfect mate :) terrific work.
I love jamming along to this song because the chord prog is interesting and you can think 'chord riff' over each bar, as well as being true to the melody. It's a great song to practice every 'country' improv lick you possess and try and expand upon.
Nice Chet triplets too foma! such a great album Neck & Neck. :)
I couldn't read your tabs, because PDFs won't load on my iPad... but I know the chord prog very well, and I just don't have time to become Chetesque ;)
-
Ps - I'm not sure about your difficulty ratings for CA & MK, I think they had everything very much in comfort zone + inspiration by each other ;)
Have you every heard the story of how Elvis tried to cut Guitar Man (it wasn't working out), and rang Jerry Reed for help? Jerry replied to the effect of "that's because no one plays like me, I'll come to the studio and do it..." (Paraphrase)
Gold :)
-
Yes! I can play this song for ever, that a progression!
I removed difficulty ratings. But anyway, Chet's solo include 7 (seven) critical places which can ruin whole solo if played wrong. Rediculous difficulty, but interesting thing
-
Very nicely done - great work there. You even nailed the Chet "super lick"!
-
Re difficulty, certainly correct for such as I. But both Chet & Mark studied hard core jazz theory before this collaboration, and the live YouTube vid shows just how relaxed they appeared rolling out those scales and licks.
I also agree about the Chet v MK solos, that's why we all love Mark, his often restrained licks (especially the ones that flow through two or more chords - my favourite example of this is the amazing solo in Once upon a Time in the West, where the average listener barely discerns any chord changes but the notes roll like gentle waves over them)
Chet was a little more 'old school' fast triplet scales, modes, without total emotional impact (as Bruce Lee once explained it lol)!
You're vid is amazing mate, I don't want to take anything away from it by over analysing, amazing work - very enjoyable. Do you play in a band, or get out and perform?
-
all I can say is : :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap
great great great work :)
I don't have time now to look at your tab, but I surely will later, as I love this tune.
I think I know the chord progression, but I must look deeper...
just a technical detail : how did you record this ? I mean you used a basic baking track ? a clic ? both ? thanks
-
that's why we all love Mark, his often restrained licks
totally agree, and that's why I like less the 91-92 era, because he play lot of speed licks, and sometimes too much notes imho (Calling elvis, Planet of New Orleans, etc...) , but it's alos due to the overall band sounding at this time
-
Thank you, foma - that was really amazing! :clap :clap
-
Always loved that tune and this is one of the best versions I've heard. Bravo! :clap
-
VERY good playing! Thank you!
-
A pleasure! Thanks Silvertown, dmg, superval99, JF, Fletch and jakehadlee!
-
Impressive! Very nice playing and sound! Really amazing thank you! :clap :clap

Stick to it ;D

LE, I'd say talanted not only in a creative way, which is very cool indeed. MK fans generally are really great people I have to say.
I'm speechless! :thumbsup
Stick to it ;D
Justme, neither do I :)
And I have a big problem with it
-
Bravo.
-
That was GREAT, I really enjoyed listing to you play.
Brian
-
foma, that was truly wonderful to listen to... thanks!!!! :D
-
By the way, no, I don't play in any band. But someday, maybe...
-
:clap :thumbsup :wave Well done. I have said it before! We have some very talented people here at AMIT!!! :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup
-
Loved it! It was great. MK would be proud for it. (and the copy cat humourous scratch of nose!)
-
So many kind words, thanks to you all! Not sure MK wold be proud, I think he would go 'Je m'en fous' again :)
Vgonis, I'm glad you cathed that one. Actually I had a very decent take with better playing but I forgot to scratch my nose, so I ended up not using scratch-less take.
-
Since I'm Russian he would go not like 'Je m'en fous', but 'Mne vsyo ravno', who knows, maybe MK knows Russian, too? xD
-
Don't worry foma, I don't think anyone knows what Mark thinks about ! (Including Guy)
He did once mention in an interview that if just something he's done inspires a "younger generation" then that's all right... His modesty is an enigma & a frustration :) he's probably having a cup of tea with John Deacon right now and watching Game Of Thrones.. Haha!
-
Didn't notice any mistakes, in that version. Only passionate and joyful playing! Thank you! :)
I played it 4-5 times, and will try to catch some of technique from your video!
-
Well on the second day I notice way less mistakes than before :)
Mistakes are very very small actually: little rhythmic inaccuracy, a bit of tuning issues (thank god not so obvious). I'd add more vignette to the video and move right vid slightly more to the right, because you can see a little part of a couch and so on. Perfectionist is a diagnosis.

Check out also magnificent version of 'I'll See You In My Dreams' by guitar monsters Tommy Emmanuel and Stochelo Rosenberg:

Tommy starts out and it's rare example of him playing real gypsy guitar! And those solos is just from another planet, they are legal aliens!

I guess that Mark appreciate any good fingerpicker.
-
Very nice version!
I guess it is a magical tune!
It reveals all the strengths of the player.
I adore this one: http://youtu.be/hNRHHRjep3E.
