Though I felt that the melodies of Cook's Tune are quite similar to those of Christmas songs (especially the second part). This is the first time you can hear me playing an electric guitar, but it's nothing special as I'm still novice in doing slight guitar improvisations. I was eager to add more guitar but it would have ruined the Christmas atmosphere so I didn't include them. However, I wasn't afraid to add some belltrees and sleighbells. Have fun!

Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: Dec. 23 2005, 19:50 It didn't ruin the Christmas atmosphere when I added more guitars That said, perhaps I'm just used to a culture where Christmas is heralded by the playing of Slade and Wizard... Anyway, I think this is cool; it's a very inspired cover version, and your debut on electric guitar is a good one! You capture that Christmas atmosphere nicely too - very good fun. Back to top

You must have a hard time, and I'm glad if I could help in any way with this cover at least. Quote (Ugo @ Dec. 24 2005, 20:48) Very good, Tihon (is that your name?) In fact, that's my surname, my first name is Tibor. But here in Hungary we write it reversely. Quote (Korgscrew @ Dec. 24 2005, 01:50) It didn't ruin the Christmas atmosphere when I added more guitars Hah, indeed yours didn't ruin much of it, I liked it. It's a nice alternative solution in instrumentation. Quote (Bill Bobaggins @ Dec. 24 2005, 05:00) I am your biggest fan. -------------- If I were music, I would be Enigmatism. Back to top

olracUK Group: Members Posts: 1683 Joined: June 2003 Posted: Dec. 24 2005, 18:55 Very very good. I enjoyed that. Well done Tibor. It didn't need more guitars, and just enough sleigh bells to be perfect for Christmas. -------------- The answer is 42 - but what is the question? Back to top
