Quite possibly the only slow song I know?

Boy, that one takes me back to my younger days... Tesla, Love Song!

 

[SIx String Chef]

The Phaser phone sneaks it naughty way in sometimes!.... Not sure why.

Yep, good 'ole Mr. Crowley!

Dang. I gotta start living in this thread. Every time I know a song…. I’m two minutes late.

Story of my past few days, ib... so much catchup i need some fries to go with it, man!

 

[SIx String Chef]

1. There's a cry from the crypt
2. Solitude
3. Ancient dreams
4. Mirror mirror
5. At the gallows end

All from the band known as Candlemass.
One of my all-time favorites!

True, indeed... Candlemass is essential Swedish Doom

Been doing my catchup when I hit the bed for the night. Of course by then , even if by some strange chance I know the song…. It’s too late. Regardless. Been enjoying what been getting shared.

Ok. Here is one I did a while ago.
I did it with a good amount of gain. Maybe @Headache will get it.

Following up on your comment about how a riff can be played many different ways, this is one is a great example: Heart of Gold by my fellow Ontarian Canuck renegade Neil Young

 

[SIx String Chef]

Apparently I know 2 slow songs!

More catching-up... Papa Clapton's Tears in Heaven

Speaking of which. Many months ago I mentioned Gordon Lightfoot. I’ve played at his tunes for years. Ramo challenged me to dirty up Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald…… which only has 4 chords repeated over and over for like 10-15 minutes….. I’ve really tried and so far all I’ve come up with is a louder clean version of the song.

However, check out the group Disturbed on You Tube doing it. It’s pretty good!

Oh yeah…. And there was no chance of slipping this one past me. I’ve been a Neil Young devotee since the original Woodstock. I rode around town in the early 70s with a young lady by my side listening to this 8 track. Still think about her every time I hear Heart of Gold. And no. She is not the current Mrs. IbLive that’s been married to me since 1978. (Actually started dating in 74) She went off to college and missed this boat.

True enough, but this is a case of taking a song and embellishing a good bit. Yes, the basic song is still in there, but not quite the same.

I remember that discussion.

And in my feeble mind. That’s the difference between doing a cover and doing a tribute. A cover you can make it your own. I really like what you did.

I have the same school of thought.

Awesome riff and well done, but I will be damned if I can remember the title, give me a minute.
