What the...? A COVER? I'm afraid so. My wife asked me to do this for her as Bad Company, filmed in 1972 starring Jeff Bridges and Barry Brown, is one of her favourite films. She runs a website dedicated to the late Barry Brown you can visit here. http://www.barrybrown.info
The music was composed for the movie by Harvey Schmidt. I took the sheet music and sequenced the piano part in Cakewalk Sonar where I layered some software synths over it to beef it up a little. I then recorded the melody on my Yamaha APX6-NA electric classical. It's a simple little tune but has a certain charm and after I recorded it I kind of liked it and made this video. Although you only see me play the simple melody on the guitar here there was actually a fair bit of work went into this to produce the piano and synth instrumentation from the sheet music which was a simple piano solo arrangement..
I promise to get back to original compositions for the next video! 8^)
