What is this song?

Unread post by grock » Fri Jul 25, 2003 8:07 pm

It is like a 1950's or 60's like surf sounding song. but slower and i think i have heard it on easy listening. here is a tab. if this doesn't work i'll have to post a recording. but that is a lot of work with my POS computer.

the recording is palyed with a slide but you can get a feel for it by just playing it normal.

Code: Select all

on the b string, the "-'s" give a rough estimate of timing.
-8---3----1--3-4-3-1-8---3----1--3-4-3-1-da da da da da. dunt dada da da ....
-G---D----C--D-D#D-C-G---D----C--D-D#D-C....
this has been driving me crazy ever since i started playing slide last month. argghhh if anyone figures out what song this is i'll owe you one.

I'VE DONE IT!

THE SONG IS "SLEEPWALKER" BY JOHNNY AND SANTO...

Remembered it from one of those "Instrumental Gold" infomercials I saw at like 4 in the morning last year...
