"Afternoon of a Swan" on C6 (Speedy West song)

Post by Thomas Hammel »

I just wanted to share a video of a recording I did of the Speedy West tune "Afternoon of a Swan". I've been wanting to learn how to play that for a long time, but my chops weren't what they needed to be. Tried again a few months ago and almost gave up but persevered. Such a beautiful song and proves how sensitive and melodic Speedy's playing could be, not just the fast stuff.
