That's one - Always amazed at all the good guitarists out there - Discouraging, really -


Tad
Bunch of Larrivees - all good -
and a wife that still puts up with me, which is the best -

a pretty good version  :thumb

I think the bass could be better -
it's the bass in that tune that blows me away
Maybe its not possible to play the bass on the guitar the same way it is played on the piano.
Pete Hunttlinger can play Superstition by Steve Wonder -
I'll bet Pete could play it like a piano !
Anybody here know Pete ?....if so, please ask him to do a version for us.

Over 50 people have read this challenge and not one has taken it....
hmmmm, that's surprising...I know there are some good guitarist here.

I wonder if Will Fly has read it.....maybe he could do it..

Since we're talking about the Peanuts theme (Linus & Lucy), I'd recommend Muriel Anderson's version.  I took a workshop with her in October, and the sheet music for her version is relatively straightforward but sounds great (she sells the sheet music from her site as well).  That's one of my winter projects...

You can hear a section of it on her website at http://www.murielanderson.com/music.html?p=heartstrings
(scroll down to the bottom of that album's playlist)

I don't see any videos of her playing that on YouTube, but the track is certainly worth the $0.99 off iTunes or wherever.

thanks Dave,
..yea , Muriel has that bass in there ! ...sounds great...
I guess it takes someone at her level to be able to play it that way...

I saw her last summer at a Chet Atkin's appreciation concert here in the Nashville area.
She played one tune where she made her guitar sound like a banjo....really ku-al.

Her guitar work on the Peanut's theme sounds like a piano to me ! - at least the trebles do.
