Covering Maybellene by Chuck Berry
I wrote this arrangement many years ago, but until the moment I played it on a 12 string guitar it was just so-so.
Here's my 2004 recording of Maybellene (from A Tale To Tell) done on a 1970 Guild F-212 with a bottleneck overdub on my 1930 Gibson L-5. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/88No2Vn_MpA Regards, Howard http://howardemerson.com

Glad you enjoyed the track! The 12 string is clearly being fingerpicked/fretted all the way through the track. The slide doesn't come in until after the 2nd chorus, and as I said in the original post the bottleneck overdub is done on an old Gibson archtop. HE http://howardemerson.com

This was the first recorded song by you that I ever heard going back quite a few years now, and I was so taken with your rendition that I purchased your album. And then I purchased all the rest of your albums over the last few years. I love the way you do this song, Howard!  - Glenn

It says the video is not available. Is that just for me?

We see the same thing here on occasion. I don't host that particular 'video' of my recording, by the way, but tell me if this is playable where you are: https://youtu.be/9vQngacxlaE This is from my own Youtube page. I'm also pretty sure you'll be able to hear the preview of Maybellene on my retail website listing. It's on my 'A Tale To Tell' cd, track #10 Thanks, Howard http://howardemerson.com

Thumbs up
That's a fun-to-hear arrangement. I like that you dropped the C in there. Congrats.

What do you mean by 'dropped the C'? Do you mean the C (VII) chord between the I7 & IV chord? The 12 string is in dropped D tuning, and the L-5 bottleneck part is in open D. HE http://howardemerson.com
