Lesson recommendation!

If you know of a song that you think would make a good lesson, here is the place to bring it up. As of May, 2015 we have over 800 song lessons but are always on the lookout for more. Be sure to point out what about the song makes it a good candidate, unique or unusual, a particular part that interests you, or just that you think a bunch of members would enjoy it. An embedded video would be helpful as well.

Hey Lynn!

Which version? I can find the song for example by Johnny Mandell, but also an instrumental version. As a vocalist, i prefer the Johnny Mandell version. :D

Nesh,
I was thinking of the instrumental version that was played in the early years of the M.A.S.H. TV show. They changed it over the years, but the early episodes have a lovely version with prominent guitar. I think this is what I'm referring to:


As I listen to it, it would maybe need a second guitar or other instrument.

I also like the version that was in the original movie with lyrics. I'll check out the one you mentioned.
Cheers,
Lynn
