The Letter

The Letter was written in 1966 when I was 14 years old. My goal was to fairly replicate the ambiance of the period in this new version. And I wanted to do this using only the instruments that would have been available to me at that time. In this recording I used an acoustic guitar for rhythm and lead, electric guitar for rhythm, the last four strings on the electric guitar to simulate a bass guitar, my hands and fingers on my desk for percussion and a muted 6th string for the intro.
