Topic: This Just Needs A guitar

Gershwin. When I was younger, I use to do some of my terrible vocals with a band like this when in Sydney it was actually a bit of fun to do even though not exactly my music.  A bit left field to post on chordie but I do believe variety is the spice of life.

That was fabulous - that didn't need any guitar at all !
What great music - I am not a huge Jazz lover - but this is actually one of my favorite songs of all times. ( and this was a great rendition)

here are two covers I really like of it

Re: This Just Needs A guitar

Cheers Jim  thanks for sharing another two good versions I enjoyed both. Summertime is one of those songs I think can be adapted to all sorts of styles of music. I could even imagine it being done in a stripped down fast Punk style with a mean Syd Vicious style vocal.
