♪ http://www.ScottAllyn.com ♫ (ɔısnɯ ʎɯ) ... This is my cover of Larry Pattis' awesome arrangement of Jay Ungar's Ashokan Farewell. I first heard this tune as part of the soundtrack for the PBS special "The Civil War", which originally aired back in the 90's. I actually learned to play the violin parts on a wailing electric guitar, which I'm sure drove my folks nuts at the time. This version is much more pleasant! Visit my SoundClick page for more of my recordings: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=476906 Gear used for this recording: Guitar: 1981 Cedar/Koa Laughlin Strings: Custom Elixir (13,17,24,32,42,56) Tuning: DADGAD Mics: Modified Oktava MK-012 (using X-Y) Interface: MOTU Ultralite MK3 Hybrid DAW: Reaper x64 Video Editing: Adobe Premiere & After Effects

ScottAIIyn Says:
Feb 6, 2011 - thanks! I really need to record some of the more recent songs I've been working on and maybe hack together another video.
ScottAIIyn Says:
Feb 6, 2011 - Glad you liked the recording/video. I forgot to update the links in the videos after taking down the soundclick page - fixed! I have several recordings posted to my DropBox account, mostly for friends and family to listen to & download, but anybody is welcome to them.
