Hi all, another Friday and time for another Pedal Steel Only arrangement! This week we're going to step back to the world of 70's progressive rock and visit Pink Floyd. I present the 23rd arrangement in the playlist and one of my favorite songs from 1970, "Fat Old Sun".
On the original studio version of the song, Pink Floyd's David Gilmour is credited with playing most of the instruments including pedal steel guitar! Maybe that's what drew me to taking on this song, or maybe it was the chance to transcribe Gilmour's ending solo to ExtD9? Either way I think this slow and sad tune is a wonderful fit for a Pedal Steel Only arrangement.
The playlist includes several pedal steel only arrangements of The Beatles such as: "Strawberry Fields Forever", "The Fool on the Hill", "Julia", "Across the Universe", "She's Leaving Home" and "Long, Long, Long".
Grateful Dead arrangements include: "Ship of Fools", "Candyman", "Rosemary", "Mountains of the Moon", "Row Jimmy", "High Time" & "China Doll".
In addition there are also arrangements of "Time Waits For No One", "Lady Jane" & "Wild Horses" by the Rolling Stones.
Other arrangements include, "A Whiter Shade of Pale" by Procol Harum, "Nights in White Satin" by The Moody Blues, "Starman" by David Bowie, "Good Advices" by REM, "White Rabbit" by the Jefferson Airplane & "The Crystal Ship" by The Doors.
"Fat Old Sun" can be heard at:
