Default Of course we play Jethro Tull... Living in the Past for flute and guitar

You can't have a flute in the band and not play some Jethro Tull. It just wouldn't be right.

Here's one of several in our repertoire - our arrangement of "Living in the Past" for electrified flute and acoustic guitar.

I use my POG2 for the opening bass line. The rest is just straight guitar.

Dawn uses flanger and echo on the flute for the opening theme. The rest is just a lot of breath and attitude to get that Ian Anderson tone.

Hope you like it.

I bought the original single when this 1st came out - love your version, excellent.

Now you two might also have fun with 'Going Up The Country' by Canned Heat.

Thoroughly enjoyed that - Love Tull.

Apart from Tull, 'flute in the band' makes me think of Supper's Ready.

Brilliant! Well done.

I saw Jethro Tull play a show in 1968 at the Alexandria Roller Rink -- they opened for Jeff Beck (featuring Rod Stewart)

That was great! Brings back a lot of memories - loved Tull.
Nicely done. Fogleburg / Weisburg should be right up your alley (had that CD too)http://www.acousticguitarforum.com/f...cons/icon7.gif
