- Here is my version of The Shadows arrangement of the instrumental "Blue Star" which appeared on their self-titled debut album in 1961. It was originally used as the theme music of the 1950's television series, "Medic", written by Victor Young and entitled "The Medic Theme." A set of lyrics were later written by Edward Heyman who had a history of collaborating with Young and the tune was re-released under the new title of "Blue Star".
I played this using my Fender Stratocaster (Middle Pickup) with the Zoom G2.1Nu and Echoes From The Past by Charlie Hall (EFTP Patch A4). Recording was via USB to my home PC with Cubase.
The backing track I used for this version was a custom one from Karaoke Version - www.karaoke-ve...
I also used tablature written by Phil McGarrick (random275 on CZcams) and it is free to download from here - www.philmcgarri...
I hope you enjoy my rendition of this classic instrumental
