Well, I know Brian always asks to post something original or related to the lessons for the challenge, and possibly not a cover, but sometimes I break the rule and this time I did it for a song that I started to learn 6 years ago and had been practicing from time to time for a very long period.
The last month I finally was able to put all the pieces together and decided to record it, and it’s just a duet with my self, so here it is 😅!
Hope you’ll like it, even if not an original composition.Guido

Guido,
Of all your performances, this is my favorite! A lot of work goes into soemthing like this and you nailed it on all levels. I love Jim Croce’s work. Lets not forget Maurice Muehleisen ….what an incredible talent he was. Although classically trained from a young age, he did not start playing guitar until age 17 and died at 24. Hard to imagine what would have came from him had it not been for that plane crash. Congrats on this performance. Pap

Thank you so much for this heartwarming moment, Guido.
It’s simply a beautiful song with intricate guitar work. And you’ve done it all justice. What’s more, you’ve created a wonderful version of your own with great harmony vocals. It was a pleasure to listen to.Take the chance to meet your AM friends on Zoom
The next Meetup will be May/June
There will be a detailed announcement here in the forum
I look forward to meet you.

I know you are a huge fan of Jim Croce.
That’s a beautiful song. Such great and beautiful lead lines. You played both parts so skillfully with a great and clear tone.
Love your vocals.
Like Andre mentioned, the song looks very tough to play.
You could play that song on stage.
BRAVO!!!!!!PS: thanks for your nice and detailed comment on my submission. It’s very appreciated.

Wow! This evoked a rush of emotion in me my friend. Your guitar work and vocals were impeccable. I especially liked your vocal harmony.. so spot on. Very impressive. This is a keeper. You passed the audition. And, I love that Dove.😎👍🎸John
PS-The guitar work on this could be more challenging than the solos on Freebird

What a great cover, Guido! I used to listen to Jim Croce back in the early 90’s, it was one of my first musical discoveries in the USA and this song was definitely one of my favorites! Can’t imagine what it took to learn the intricate guitar parts, the rhythm alone seems challenging, and then all those well-timed harmonies! So beautiful! I think it was a great idea to revive your ongoing project, what better way to get it done than make it a challenge with a deadline, right?
Not sure if you know that but his son AJ is touring with his dad’s repertoire, a Croce Play Croce show.

Had to come back for another listen, Guido. One of my favorite songs. I’ll play a verse and chorus nearly every time I pick up the guitar. I’ve never learned Maury’s part though. I think you and I have covered the same songs maybe four or five times now on A/M. You’ve got great taste in music. 😀 🎶 🎸

Thank you very much James! Yes, we have similar tastes, and particularly we share a common passion for Croce’s songs. I remember very well the renditions of his songs that you posted here, in particular your brilliant version of “Time in a Bottle”. You’re an inspiration for me in the AM community, especially for singing and vocals harmony but also for your original arrangements of the songs that you covered, and your nice comments are always very much appreciated.
Guido
