Some tunes

I recently decided that it was time for a new guitar - my spine was telling me I needed something lighter in weight! I couldn't find a 'professional' model Gretsch that was light enough so I got myself a G5122, and had the pickups replaced with TV Jones Classics - I'm happy with both the feel and the sound. I've owned 4 different pro model Gretsches in the past and I was reluctant to buy the G5122 at first; I saw it as a step down, but now that I have it, I think I made the right move, I can play a lot longer before my back starts acting up.
I've recorded a few things with it....some of them I've put into my 'box.net' account...here they are in descending order of 'Chetness'
http://www.box.net/shared/ui95vn8seqxevcfv8dyi - a version of 'Liebestraum' based to a large extent on Chet and Jerry's version for it's over all 'feel'
http://www.box.net/shared/43e2r3sx1t6d97169qi1 - 'Sleepwalk'
http://www.box.net/shared/i5ajoqbhxatnzp0vk6dj - 'Always'
http://www.box.net/shared/tq14ek9yo2ay74ckqhxj - 'Cherokee' - this version owes little to Chet to be honest, it's more in a kind of Joe Pass vein
