A HAPPY TUNE

[Stratpicker]

Here's a Poppy little bit of guitar Nonsense. Nothing fancy – just me and my RealTracksBand having some Fun. Not a single “fancy” chord in it. I love the K.I.S.S. System.
I wanted something cheerful to take my mind off our Son and family emigrating to their new life in Australia on Feb 21st.
Written in Band In A Box and exported to my old Cakewalk DAW as individual wavs for further action – like mixing, mastering etc. It all ends a bit “immediate” and I dont know why!! lol !!
Usual Brason Strat etc etc – nothing scientific.

Splendid old pal. I envisaged an open topped Jag cruising country lanes, occupied by a young couple.
Most enjoyable.
Cheers, Alan.

Indeed a happy little tune Ian. It struck me as something that wouldn't go amiss on one of those 'production library' type compilation CDs
that are used in the film and TV industry. I really enjoyed your composition and production. Thank you for posting it.
Cheers,
JB

It just proves that "fancy" chords are not necessary for a good instrumental tune.

I agree with the other replies and enjoyed it very much.

Hi Ian - That was great composition - how do you think them up !!?
The BIAB backing sounds great with a super bass line running through the whole song excellent lead playing.
A happy tune is a great title and describes it well.
All the best... Phil

Hi Ian, a great little composition and well played. Definitely one to play at Warwick.

Hi Alan thanks for your thoughts. Glad you liked it but an open top Jag IN THIS WEATHER??!! lol!
Hi John - Its one of those tunes that could be anything. One friend says it sounds like I Can See Clearly Now and Val (my wife) says it sounds like the Theme From Friends. Its just Pop Noodle around two chord shapes really.
Hi RogerA - the fanciest chord in it is the Csus - lol!! Even I can play that one. Glad you liked it.
Hi Phil - I dunno where it came from either. One minute I was noodling away on my Yammy acoustic and the next I had a "tune". Beats me! That Bass line came straight out of Band In A Box. For those who have it, the Bass is a RealTrack " ~683:Bass, Electric, PopHalfNotesPush Ev 120". I guess that the "push" side of it causes it to be quite energetic. Me? I LOVE the drum track - "RockTexas^6-a:HHtsyncKk, b:LooseHt4x4".
Hi Ecca - what can I say to that!? That Shiplap Betty hasn't written to me lately. Do you think she fancies someone else now?
Hi Jase - Thanks for your kind comments. The BT is on its way to you for my Warwick file.
cheers
