Name that tune :)

Hey Folks,

I've seen/heard a few people playing this tune, and I can't for the life of me remember who it was.

At 1:55 of this guy's clip on YouTube is the basic theme:

Anyone know who it is?

Sort of reminds me of Stanley, or Victor.

Anyway, I like it, and want to dig up the original

Thanks,
Chinjazz

"In My Life" by The Beatles?

Edit: Ok, I heard some of the melody of "In My Life" in there, but I don't think that's what you were after. After listening more and hearing what he plays right after that part, maybe your thinking of "Lopsy Lu" by Stanley Clarke? (not that the YouTube clip actually sounds anywhere close to "Lopsy Lu", but I'm just taking a wild guess as to what you are after)

Hey Zombywoof!

Thanks for checking it out.. I found this other guy playing the theme a bit further, at 1:19:

I don't think's it's the Lopsy Lu.

What do you think? Besides this guy's great playing

On the original clip, the only thing I could pick out was a bit of Jaco's "Continuum" just past the 3:00 mark.

Michael Henson · #5 03-29-2010, 09:40 PM

That's gonna drive me crazy. I recognize it too. Other than that he plays some Continuum, and single lick from Teen Town. Some Higher Ground and another RHCP sounding hook. Great chops and some variety...

Sorry about the driving ya crazy. I've heard this before, and it's been now a pet project to find out, sort of making me a bit crazy

zombywoof5050 · #7 03-30-2010, 07:33 AM

Sounds familiar, but I just can't place it.
Good luck.

Thanks! I needed something else to drive me crazy today!

Well, one thing - I am fairly certain it's Hendrix, perhaps Wind Cries Mary, but not sure. But Jimi - I'd bet.

Cool! it wouldn't surprise me if it were Jimi!
I'll check on that, thanks!

Actually my co-worker (who is two generations my senior) and I are listening to Are You Experienced now - we agree it definitely sounds like something Hendrix would record, but coming up bust on the actual song... HMPH!

Well I do appreciate you guys listening! If anything it adds something to the workday for us who have day gigs.

I've been sampling Jimi songs off of Amazon. I'm at least enjoying the search

Thanks a bunch!

One of my friends really thinks this is a Stanley Clarke song... Still digging around

robd · #13 03-31-2010, 09:03 AM

From the 1st video I would say a very loose interpretation of Lopsy Lu

Dont know what the 2nd guy is playing

Vakmere · #14 03-31-2010, 12:11 PM

It's no no particular song, he's just jamming with some Wootenesque dittys, a passage of My Life, a little Nitty, Jaco, etc. Lots of flavors here.
