Sleepwalk (Old version) Video. FREE BT & TABS

[philmcg]

"Sleep Walk" is an instrumental tune written, recorded, and released in 1959 by brothers Santo & Johnny Farina, with their uncle Mike Dee playing the drums. Prominently featuring steel guitar, the song was recorded at Trinity Music in Manhattan, New York City.

In 1961 The Shadows made a great recording of it and it appeared on many Shadows Albums.– since then there have been numerous “Modern” versions of it “Hank Marvin’s” 2005 Strat Pack version being very popular,

For my recording I stuck to the Original Shadows recording of 1961 and played it on my Fender Custom Stratocaster 56 nos fitted with Kinman Impersonator V54 V3 pickups through an Alesis Quadraverb Q2 with EFTP patch 0-02.

I made tabs out the way I played it which are FREE to download here :- www.philmcgarrick.co.uk/scores.html

The BT is also FREE to download here :- www.philmcgarrick.co.uk/CD.html

Sound recorded in Cubase SX 6 and edited with the video takes in Sony Vegas Pro 9

Please enjoy “Sleepwalk”

Thanks very much Garry glad you liked it.

Yes the BT is the original with Hanks guitar removed it seems to have worked well without any noticeable deterioration
of the backing.

All the best.. Phil

Hi Phil. Well played with a great sound as always! It’s a great number. I love this version and sometimes feel quite emotional when playing it at home. Thanks for the BT and tabs. I prefer your version of the ending to the way I’ve usually played it - thanks for that too!
I have the same p/ups in my MIJ Fender and really like them.

Hi Pete, Istvan & Dave for your good comments - I just Tabbed out the Shadows recording from one of their early albums
And played along with Jet,Tony and Bruce Lol - It's always fun using an original recording.
Dave - I agree about the pickups I do like them a lot - much higher output than the Fender noiseless pickups that came with that guitar.

All the best... Phil
