Title: This Ain't Great
Post by: EL34 on September 01, 2013, 04:43:35 pm

This tune is based on a Tony Rogers tune called Great
You may have heard the original on Animal Planet
They play the song while they show you abused dogs and cats that need homes
Pretty sad commercial but I liked the cool melody so I went in search and found the tune on youtube

I had to spruce up the melody a bit to make a guitar instrumental because the original was fine for vocals but not very interesting for guitar.

Anywho, here's my arrangement of Tony's tune

That was really cool!  Thanks for sharing it.

Sort of reminded me of Badfinger as some level.

Liked it.

Best regards, Jeff

glad you liked it
It's just one of those tunes I have to get out of my head and then go on to the next one.

That's a great tune.  I love your tone.  You play with feeling.  I'm a pet lover and that song is a tribute for sure.  Thanks for posting.
