A good friend of mine told me that several years ago he heard a guitar arrangement that Tommy did of the old Procol Harem song "Whiter Shade Of Pale". He said that it was a phenomenal arrangement and performance. I have searched Tommy's albums and all the 'YouTube' pages I could find and NO SUCH LUCK....I can't find it at all. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
thanks,

Tommy Emmanuel seems to be associated a lot with Martin Tallstrom. He has a website with tab for A Whiter Shade of Pale. The YouTube is
so you can see if is what you were looking for.

I have never heard Tommy play Whiter Shade of pale, this guy Tallstrom is excellent though I just listended to his Duelling banjos cover absolutely awesome.

Thanks guys, I think you nailed it. My friend must have been talking about Martin Tallstrom's version of the song. It is excellent. I needed a break from 'Classical Gas' and this should keep me busy for awhile.
thanks again,

I down loaded the TAB and am working on this along with Classical Gas, as well.
