Just a bit of 70's prog/baroque instrumental to test out my new build. Tuned GDg, handwound single coil pickup. Man, I look serious in this video. I am not a serious guy!

Thanks buddy - I keep thinking I should tab this one out so others can have a go :)

Bloody hell that sounds good. Gotta try and learn this one!

Wow, that's got to be the best comment ever! Thanks eK. I've always loved this tune and it felt good to play on CBG. Weirdly I did the intro like that is because years of playing fingerstyle means I've lost what little skill I had with a plectrum... a happy accident you could say!

OK...just finished listening to the original on vinyl...and...I think I like this version much better.

I always thought Sylvia was meant to be a love song. And this interpretation feels more like one than Focus's own more 'rock band' approach. I especially like that nice intro sequence which gets repeated at the 0:42 mark.

So for the second time in four days I'm gonna say: Nicely Played RK! Nicely played indeed... :-)

Thanks! I don't have much of a blues background but prog I know :-)
Comment by eK on February 8, 2014 at 10:04am
Ahh! Some prog! That gets me right where I live.
Nicely played. :-)

Thanks Jim! It's a great fun tune to play.

Great playing Richey!

I'm working on it Spike! Been doing my vocal warmups all day.

Blimey! 'Sylvia' by Focus .... that takes me back! Very well played, sir!
Now you just need to cover "Hocus Pocus" complete with the obligatory yodelling!
