I’ve always loved this piano piece by Satie (1890) and it always reminded me of Klezmer music, which I used to enjoy playing very much as guitarist. I worked in the really high energy band for a while is 90s and 00s.
My technique has been evolving into something completely different lately, and now it allows me to play these grace notes that are so crucial to this tune. I thought of playing it straight without the gns, but it just didn’t make it. So, in a fit of creativity, I made the drum loop with MIDI, played bass and guitar and then added steel once I could play it down. This one is true to the score
This is what my next project is all about, only minus the other musicians. I need them to bring it to life.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I just finished up the arrangement for Claire de Lune today and I am pretty excited about that.
@Doug, I use Videoleap but I have an old iPad and it can be a challenge to layer videos like that. My bass video is totally out of sync and I couldn't see that as I was creating it. Anyway, my content is for fans only and I can't really put too much time (and money) into it, I get so few views. I'm definitely no Doug Beaumier!
