I think the correct title is "San Francisco.(Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair) "
This is an instrumental cover using The Shadows vocal version from the 1967 CD "From Hank,Bruce,Brian & John"
The vocals have been removed by Lars from The Marvingers who made a great instrumental version and kindly sent me the backing.
Many thanks Lars !

The original was a big hit for Scott McKenzie in 1967.

I used my Alesis Quadraverb Q2 EFTP patch 0-36 and a Dunlop DVP 1 volume pedal and my new Fender custom 56NOS, Kinman Impersonator 54 V3 pickups with K7 Harness on middle position. Recorded directly into cubase via a PreSonus Audiobox USB . (No Amp)

Hope you like "San Francisco"
Cheers Phil

Enjoyed that Phil.

Very nice phil wish I could use a volume pedal like that, I just can't get the hang of it,

Thanks Alan - I loved the Shadows vocal of this one with such MWF type harmonies.
Cheers for the nice comment.

Hi Steve - Thanks for your nice comments - The swell pedal comes sort of natural now although you can get caught out on a faint bit if you're not careful with it. Strange I'm right handed but the pedal works best with my left foot.

All the best... Phil

Great Version Phil!

Lovely job, Phil.
I was never enamoured with the lads vocal version but by removing the voices and playing the Lead on your new NOS56 it has a whole new lease of life.
Excellent.
Cheers

Excellent foot volume control Phil and and a super soundfile.

The backing's not bad either !!

Thank you very much Robby, Ian and Roger - I'm glad you liked this one.
Always fun using the volume pedal.

All the best... Phil

Great tune and expertly played Phil, the new 56 looks the biz especially nice B/E neck.

Thanks very much Keith - getting on well with the 56NOS the Birds eye maple necks have always been my favourite.
Cheers for the comment... Phil
