Good afternoon Phil, thank you very much for your kind words of support, and the great arrangement and tabs. Glad you enjoyed it, I certainly enjoyed learning it, a big favourite of mine, I did slightly play it different at 2.11 to 2.20 instead of going right up to the 1st fret on the DStops. But everything else was the same as the tab, once I got up the speed I sailed through it, without looking at the tabs. I was chuffed to bits , the fifth take this one. Until the next one , enjoy your Sunday , All the best Dave.👍👍🎸🎸🎸🎸😊😊

Good afternoon Alan, yes its a good fretboard workout this one, Its a while since Phil did this arrangement and tabs, and I thought I'm going to have a go at that one, one day lol. Been on my list for ages, I knew it would be a challenge because of the amount of work he put into it. But I was surprised, I soon picked it up , and I know the words to the song pretty well, that helps too. So was happy with this take, glad you enjoyed it, its one I will keep playing ,are you forget them .lol. Yes we've had very heavy rain in Wigan ,got wet through Friday night coming back from my local pub, didn't take the brolly ☂😊 Thanks Alan for your on going support , always enjoy reading your comments, take care till the next one. Best Wishes Dave.👍🎸🎸😊
Geez' sorry I missed your post Dave!! this is a fantastic performance my friend 😊, I do love your arrangement on this, it's great especially your (staccato sound?) and the chords (double stops?) and your slide up the neck, it all quite adds to the enjoyment level, very clear and precise high end sound to finish, top end performance Dave, take care and my best to you Jon(Oz)

Hi Jon no worries, takes me all my time to keep up 😊 I cant really take credit for the arrangement ,that was down to Phil. When I heard him play it, I loved it , but I wasn't good enough at the time to take it on ,until now . Check his version out its excellent. Its a quick one and plenty DS notes, the long slide from 3rd to 13th as to be spot on .or its another take 😊 I was happy with the outcome of this 5th live take, glad you liked it, she was good Petula loved all her songs. Until the next one ,and all the best Dave UK.👍🎸🎸🎶🎶🎧😊
Love the great playing, key change and slides - lovely song and sound David. Think that was the top fret in use too? 😊😊😊😊

Thank you ,glad you enjoyed Downtown its a very popular song and still going strong since 1964 amazing.

Thanks for your on going support, much appreciated, take care till the next one. All the very best Dave.👍🎸🎸🎧🎵🎵😊
