Song for the Asking by Paul Simon cover from Radu Trofim
I experimented with lights. In my opinion, this gives some atmosphere to the video. Yes, quality drops significantly but I don’t care as long as the picture is interesting. I enjoyed playing in this setting and I think It fits to the song quite nice.
My rhythm here sometimes is not in the pocket but I felt that this take is the best regardless of that. It’s not a big deal.
Also, huge thanks to @muchie_1960 for his playthrough. He really helped me to understand Simon’s guitar approach in this tune.
I love this song and truly admire Paul Simon. I consider Bridge over Troubled Water (whole album) by Simon & Garfunkel a masterpiece. Really unique and beautiful work of art.
This song.. It might be my favorite out of all Paul Simon’s tunes. And this man have made plenty of hits. But this song.. It’s always nice to listen and to play. I never get bored of it. It speaks to my soul and makes me enjoy music on such level that I can’t even describe. Paul calls songs like that “a little humm“ and I agree. But this tune is so monumental by simply being short and sweet. You want to replay it. This song have made me considering Paul Simon as one of my musical heroes.
I hope you’ll like this “little humm“ as well.
