Nola, three-guitar Les Paul arrangement

Back


"Nola" was composed as a ragtime piano piece in 1915 by Felix Arndt. Check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amMz6AAKE4Q for a version of Liberace performing the piece on piano in 1969. The arrangement I recorded here, though, is the one by Les Paul -- see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yzf7Ux9Q6iQ for the classic 1950s recording. Les Paul recorded the high-pitched lead guitar part by speeding up and slowing down the tape, so I used the same effect here. The lead guitar was recorded at half time and sped up 200% to give it that classic Les Paul sound. (The other guitar tracks were recorded in real-tempo, with no speeding.) NOTE: For some reason the lead guitar video freezes toward the end of the clip. I believe this is due to a bug in Final Cut Express -- couldn't figure out why it was happening.
