I decided to revisit Autumn Leaves on the lap steel. I have always loved Eva Cassidy's version, so I wanted to capture some of her sense of melody. The tune is in the key of Bbm, not the most friendly key for my 6 string C6th tuning. However, I discovered some open strings and hammer-ons that kept me interested. I'm using my Ricky Frypan and a newer version of Band in a Box, recording and mixing with Cool Edit Pro (Adobe Audition).

Chuck,
Very nice. Love the jumping octaves and harmonics throughout. I was a bit puzzled by the acoustic guitar playing straight eighth note arpeggiated chords while the bass played swing eights. It made the groove feel a little weird. |

Thanks for the feedback, guys. I"m glad that you are enjoying the arrangement. We've had much cold and snow here in Denver, so I have no excuse but to practice. Hope y'all are keeping warm.
