A song in memory of my great uncle from Sweden, that showed me the fantastic world of music. He had an original 1973 Fender Stratocaster, that he handed over to me while I was a kid. I was lost! He taught me some great tricks that still works :-)

The song was made for his funeral last october – and today I finally was able to finish the video:

Tonen från hans Fender

…of course, in swedish…

Style is _ACPOP16.STY
RealTracks in style: 1757:Accordion, Rhythm Pop8ths Ev 085
RealTracks in style: 1761:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Pop16ths Ev16 085
RealTracks in style: 1765:Guitar, High-Strung Acoustic, Fingerpicking Pop16ths Ev16 085
RealDrums: RealDrums in Style: NashvilleEven16^1-a:Sidestick, HiHat , b:Snare, Ride

DropBoxed!

Bass, organ, electric and acoustic guitars tracked, mixed in Motu DP7 and mastered in BiasPeak.

If that was the strat....WHAT a beautiful looking guitar!!
I like the way you play the solo...1st strat, then acoustic then air guitar....that made the video good to watch.

Your great uncle would have been proud of you if he had seen that video and heard that song. The words don't need translation.

I enjoyed that

A beautiful track which, like Alyn said, doesn't seem to need a translation to still work well.

Good video too.

A fitting tribute to your great uncle.

Really enjoyed the song. The video was great with the 'Old to New' and back again style.
A good clean mix in my view. Congratulations.

Great concept... and a perfect tribute to your uncle! Wonderful stuff indeed. Loved that descending bass line from 1:23. Thanks for sharing this.
