"LOVE" Vintage J45 and a Gretsch 6120T '55 VS

[rockabilly69]

Here is a song that originally wrote a few months ago while demo-ing the Trance Amulet pickup system in my Nowland guitar. But I first recorded it direct with the pickup, something I would never do in a proper recording. So a few nights ago I went to my studio and re-recorded it with my old J45 and then added my Gretsch guitar for some electric fills to double the acoustic slide and also a solo and fills throughout.

Dude, I liked it a lot. Good song.
Very Neil Young and that’s a good thing.
Send me the lyrics and the chord chart?.
I’d love to perform it live with your permission of course.
Being in a duet, we could arrange it with a harmonica or a mandolin.

Knock yourself out but give me the credit.

Here's my notes from recording (well I forgot to write that I hit a G sus4 after the G chords)


LOVE / daniel weldon 2019

Thanks
If I learn it well enough to perform it I will definitely give you the credit.
I’m going to give it a try. I plan on trying it a couple of ways. I’ll put my take on it but it will be right in line with the original.

I’ll let you know.
Jamie

Addendum:
It’s the kind of song I would expect to hear on a soundtrack from a movie BTW.

Pretty much.
It isn’t too tough. Still trying to figure out how I want to do the vocal.

[rokdog49]

So, I changed the key to E (Capo) and I’m singing in it like a country ballad in my natural vocal range.
If we do it live, probably go with the harmonica for accompaniment.
It sounds different but it’s still the same melody.
