"Somewhere" from West Side Story on Steel Guitar

Kay Das · From: Los Angeles CA

This tune is from West Side Story , the Broadway musical for which the music was composed by Leonard Bernstein. It takes a phrase from the slow movement of Beethoven's 'Emperor' Piano Concerto, which forms the start of the melody, and also a longer phrase from Tchaikovsky's final scene from the ballet Swan Lake. It was famously covered by Barbra Streisland and then Phil Collins and several others. The Shadows covered with an instrumental version.

This version on steel guitar was played on the Steelocaster run through an Alesis Quadraverb with patch setting #56 (as set for Cavatina) and I used a normal guitar heavy plectrum instead of picks. The amplifier used was a Fender Hotrod. Backing by Gary Taylor and Trevor SPencer of UBHank. Key of D.
