Variations of 'Sleep Walk'

Same song but how many different ways to play such a classic instrumental



First up Larry Carlton

Then Jeff Beck

Then Brian Setzer

Then probably my favourite - Chet Atkins and Leo Kottke

Then Hank

And only just found this version today - Les Paul

My favourite is this one, which is better than the version he did in the studio:

Also partial to Satriani's. Don't enjoy his stunt-guitar stuff, but this is very tasteful:

^^^^^^^^^ - like the sleazy nature of that version (RJ Ronquillo) and in a way the kind of way I've been trying to play it

Roland

Anyone else hear hints of Midnight at the Oasis in the Amos Garrett version?

I've seen that before but whilst we all know how talented he is, I don't like that version at all - To much going on - I like many of the above and you can take snippets of all of the above to make your own version - But I'll pass on this clip

Bit surprised this one hasn't been mentioned, given that there seem to be lots of fans of heavier music on the forum. Not among my favourite versions, but a grower, and I love the horn-like sound that Stephen Carpenter (I assume) gets out of his guitar at the beginning.

Great thread!

Headline should be "octogenarian with arthritis schools youtubers and wannabes...."

That old boy is so good they should make him a signature guitar....

That's a shame. I'm blown away by his fluency with chord melodies

Damn right. There's just something untouchable about the original. Not a single extra note that doesn't need to be there.
