Words (Don't Come Easy) FR David,/ Ricky King ,Instrumental Cover by David
Words" is a 1981 song by F. R. David. The song was originally released only in France and Monaco in the winter of 1981; later it was released in the rest of Europe. In 1983, it finally was released in America and the UK. It was a huge European hit, peaking at number one in Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Austria and Norway. In spring of 1983, it peaked at number two on the British charts.
The German guitarist Ricky King made a guitar cover ,mine is based on his version .
Hope you like my take on it, played on my Harley Benton ST-59 Guitar.
fitted with Tonerider Pure Vintage pickups.
A live recording , no video editing , using a ring LED light for illumination .
Using Zoom G3x with EFTP, I've used The Shadows ,Wonderful Land Patch for this, and adjusted the bridge tone on the guitar to 5.
I wired my middle tone pot, when I bought this guitar, so it also adjusts the bridge pick up, comes in handy just to take the harshness of the bridge pick up sometimes.
Video Panasonic TM-900 AVCHD Dolby Stereo.
Zoom pedal connected in stereo to two Line 6 Spider 15 watt amps.
Sony Ext Mic connected to the camcorder.
Lexato wireless system WS-50.
Backing track and tabs ,from Phil and Andrew McGarrick, the harmony lead is in the BT ,saves playing double stop notes ,Thank you Phil.

Good afternoon Phil, finally got it done , so pleased you enjoyed it. It wasn't perfect ,cant get them quick hammer ones ,pulls offs fast enough, about the 7th take ,this was the best LOL. Tell Andrew a super BT , loved the harmony lines, I thought the Wonderful Land patch with the echo's ,sounded brill for this I've struggled these last few weeks , with a bad shoulder and neck ,the old arthritis kicks in this time of year ,damp and cold hate it, not really felt like playing ,years working in the building trade doesn't help matters, roll on summer.😊🌈😎 . Thanks very much Phil , always appreciate your comments , until the next one, All the very best Dave.👍🎸🎸🎶🎶😊

Good afternoon Alan, very pleased you enjoyed this one, took a few takes to get right ,about the 7th take this one. I've not been playing much over Christmas , had a sore neck and shoulder ,the arthritis playing up, all this damp weather doesn't help. No,,, not been flooded Alan ,I'm in a little village on the outskirts of Wigan called Aspull ,near Haigh Hall Country Park, where pretty high up here, from Wigan.. The River Douglas runs through Wigan , but a few years ago a dam was built further up the river near Haigh , and it really does its job , its been a tester for it these last few weeks, never seen so much rain, going to end up with web feet .😊😊 Just working on a nice Bee Gees song for the next one ,plenty double stops to contend with LOL. Take care, and thanks for all your support over the last year. All the very best for 2024 .....Dave.👍🎸🎸🎸🎶🎶🎶😊
wonderful, thank you!❤

Hi Eddie ,hope your doing ok, so pleased you enjoyed this one, its one were the whammy bar comes in useful LOL. Great tune to play, with a excellent BT from Andrew McGarrick , it as the lead harmony line in a few bars , so you hear two guitars, saves you playing double stop notes. Makes it a little easier to play. 😊 A good start to 2024 getting plenty views 👍 All the best Dave.🎸🎸

Hi Jon ,many thanks my friend, hope your well, glad you enjoyed this upbeat one, enjoyed doing this Ricky King version of this song, great BT from Phil's son Andrew, nice harmony lead lines in certain places sounds really good as long as you keep in time ,think I managed it LOL. Had the LED ring light on to record this , been horrible dark days here, heavy rain ,floods all over the country, I've never seen so much rain. Be nice and warm in down under I bet.

Hi Ian ,Happy New Year, only got this ready on Thursday ,so pleased you liked it , a great BT from Andrew and tabs off Phil ,they make a good team😊 . Not felt like playing had a bad shoulder and neck over Christmas and NY ,arthritis playing up ,always the same with the damp and cold in winter, roll on summer🌈😎 LOL. Sorry you've had a cover removed Ian, I'm not sure how it works ,do they take it off straight away ,or do you have to delete it , I always read the checks when uploading one. It seems very confusing at times, so you will have to spend time sorting another song out ,must be frustrating, Look forward to your next one ?..... All the best Dave.👍🎸🎸😊
