Sleepwalk (for Zakk)

... my Zakk, that is

I think I mentioned in my Surfer Girl thread, that my next thing would be a version of Sleepwalk for Zakk.

So, here we go: http://www.owen.net.nz/raf/mp3/Sleepwalk.mp3

I finished this last night. Rather than just re-hashing one of the versions I know (Jeff Beck, Satriani - much like Beck's - or Larry Carlton), I decided to do a more old-skool jazz spin on it. The main bugger is that I don't have virtual brushes in any of my drum patches - and it really needs brushes. :-/ Never mind; I think it worked out ok.

Ritchie Valens dying maybe? I don't know.

Anywho, I really like that tune mate, despite the obvious jazziness of it

It's at the end of the movie. Que music. Brother runs up hill, falls to knees and calls out to the heavens for his dead brother, "Richiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!"

Very moving. Great work again, Tsuken.

Yip, jazz is right up there with polka music as my all time favourite genre
