A Place in the Sun/ Steel Guitar

[kaydas]

One of the late great Jerry Lordan's loveliest tunes, alongside "Apache" and "Wonderful Land", "A Place in the Sun" was recorded by The Shadows but remains one of their lesser known tunes. Written in the key of F, the verse chords are an intriguing Eb/F/Fmin/Bb/Bbmin with a Db/F#maj/Fm/Bbmin bridge This arrangement is adapted for steel guitar lead, and I have taken some liberties with an improvised ending. The arrangement and all tracks are by me. Instruments used: Steelocaster steel guitar, GIbson " Chet Atkins" and Martin Custom X for the guitar accompaniments and rhythm guitar respectively, and a Roland E-09 for the sampled sounds.

A Place in the Sun was composed by Petrina Lordan.

Michael, I stand corrected. Petrina seems to be as good a composer as Jerry.

Jimbo, grateful for the appreciation. Lovely chord sequences..amongst The Shads best tunes, I feel, but somehow did not gain much publicity...
