Army Dreamers - Kate Bush

It's difficult to find a Kate Bush song that works on solo guitar. I tried this a couple of years ago, but gave up, as it sounded thin. Kate's stuff is so multi-layered that abbreviating it onto a solo instrument is almost pointless. Anyway, I had a change of heart about this one. This arrangement is in the song's original key, B minor. The intro works well on the guitar, and to an extent the first part of the melody. It's the last part that sounds thinnest - but hey, so what. Of course, the Holy Grail would be a working arrangement of 'Babooshka' . Anyone wanna have a go?

I don’t know why this 13 year old video was recommended to me but it’s nice. I hope you’re doing well

Yes - Jig of Life is one of my favourites. Also Night of the Swallow, Je t'en nuis pas, Walk Straight Down the Middle - great tunes.

+Amira Tora Lloyd Thank you! I've tried a few of Kate's other songs on solo guitar, no luck yet. Babooshka would be the Holy Grail :)

Great stuff Steve. Have you had a good summer? Darn, back to work tomorrow.....:-(

[@rhopen]

Ys, works well. Great. -Ron

[@clementiiine]

excellent! I think it's a bit too fast, though

[@londonrocknroller]

Alissa Noelle it's the same speed as tbe original.

[@SixStringSteve]

It's by a company called Esteve, doesn't have a model number. It really isn't a particularly good guitar, at all. The Roland MicroCube I amplify it with creates the magic :)
re Merry Xmas - a combination of rest and free.

[@nickaley3712]

Hi Steve love your choice of transcriptions. Could you tell me what make and mod that electro classic is you are using, also rest or free stroke on intro of merry Christmas mr Laurence. Thanks a lot.
