The Sheik of Araby

Postby NSM » Wed Mar 16, 2016 8:25 am

I just put online my version of 'The Sheik of Araby', with some nice old pictures to look at as you listen. I don't know if Chet ever recorded a version of this, but my version has some of his licks'n'tricks included, played on my Gretsch, and an improvised jazzy section played on a Telecaster.

Neil, that's a great little tune. I don't remember Chet ever doing this one either, but the Merle Travis version will always stand out as the benchmark, to me anyway. I love your Chet licks and the gypsy jazz type background.

Very nice. I enjoyed it.

Hi Neil - that was really well played and I had a great time listening to it.

Well done!

Would have commented earlier but I've been on holidays.

Cheers
