Title: Old School Love Song
Post by: tubenit on January 27, 2025, 05:32:26 am
For the last 2 yrs, I have been trying to learn 2 to 3 new songs a month.  I've done pretty good staying with that goal.  :icon_biggrin:

It's been great fun learning and recording them!  I've been doing mostly soul music, R&B, some jazz oriented stuff and blues.  Lotsa old school stuff I grew up with.

Ironically, I am not anxious speaking in front of 200 people, but I'm super bashful doing music in front of 2 people. I've been trying to find the courage to sing at an open mic sometime soon. While I've been doing open mics with a buddy of mine, his vocals are SO much better than mine, I just play rhythm.

I recorded this with my Grote jazz guitar ($200 new) and my Minimalist amp.  I've always loved this tune. It's sort of a mix of sappy and cool at the same time, IMO.


I transposed the song to the key of G, and used some C9 and Cadd9 chords instead of C.  So, it's not quite like the original arrangement.  :wink:

At 74, my hands are terribly arthritic .......... not sure how many more yrs I'll be able to play. I use lotsa triads now to get by.


With respect, Tubenit
