It’s a grey and rainy day over here in the Netherlands, I’ve just finished work and am about to have three weeks off (some weather….in the middle of summer…pffffffffff :S
….).So picked up a guitar, the one wich is tuned in DADDAD+, played this song and thought I might as well record it ( I wanted to quite some time ago already). What can I say?! I obviously can’t resist to share it with you.
And as many of you already know, I’m a big CSN&Y-fan and am crazy about the Four Way Street-album in particular, so this version is of course based on that one. Unfortunately can’t sing it in harmonies all by myself, but I hope you’ll enjoy it anyway. Of course I’ve watched the lesson when it came out, a couple of months ago, but I’m not sure if I’m doing everything ‘right’ in there, since it’s been a while.
Also my guitar sounds really ‘bassy’ :unsure:, wich is funny, I mean the body is the smallest of all my steelstrings, so you might wanna turn down your bass-level a bit!
I have one memory in particular with this song:
I was like 15 years old or so, listened to the album in those days like a gazillion times. I was in class, just finished a test and waiting for the class to end. In the meanwhile I was pretty bored and for no particular reason I wrote down this line in big letters on the back of my test:
’IF YOU CAN’T BE WITH THE ONE YOU LOVE, LOVE THE ONE YOU’RE WITH!’ (CSN&Y)
Some time later I got the test back and my teacher had written right behind my line:
‘YOU CAN’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU, BUT IF YOU TRY SOME TIME, YOU JUST MIGHT FIND TO GET WHAT YOU NEED!’ (Rolling Stones)
I thought that was sooooooooo cool, haha :laugh:
! Actually funny enough, I didn’t know the song, so went to his desk where he started singing it. Oh well, there you have it, a fun memory to me! :cheer: Alright enough ramblings, I just hope you’ll enjoy this, since I sure like playing it!
Cheers

so let it rain :laugh: ,
