Nobody wants to be the saint
Witch Doctor Willy
Recorded in a haunted hotel in San Antonio. All three string parts are played on the Gretsch New Yorker (reissue) - acoustic, bowed, and plugged in. Never really tried to write a breakup song before. It was an interesting experience.
Lover, my Lover
Witch Doctor Willy
A roots-style folk song, recorded on a Gretsch New Yorker (new one, not old) strung with D'Addario half-rounds, straight into a Vox AC15C1 for the overdrive, reverb and trem. Singing and playing at the same time. I intend to record this one a little better, this is just a draft.
Take my Spear
Witch Doctor Willy
My current side project is an indie folk americana type thing. This is one of those songs. The bass isn't a gretsch. I recorded this song on a Gretsch 5126 (unmodified) and a Vox AC15C1, spring reverb, canyon delay, Sick As MK1 overdrive. Vocals are multi multi multi multi multi tracked on a Blue Bluebird.
I'm Home
stratman
No Gretsch guitars on this song (I have another one with a Pro Jet, but this isn't it). Guitars are a Heritage H-140 and a Fender Nashville Power Telecaster that was de-Nashvilled and is now a standard tele. No amps - used digital amp sims. Real drummer, but the snare sounded weird so we mapped his playing to digital drum samples. It sounds much more consistent now.
Sway
RallyMan
The intro, lead and outro were played on my 1973 7560 double anniversary.
The Legend of Freddy Gretsch, A musical Documentary!
Gretch Place
This song was largely my tribute to Fred Gretsch Senior, who at the age of fifteen, took over the Gretsch corporation after the passing of his father. The story entwines Fred's life with the divinity of God's providence, who, in my opinion must have been helping old Freddy! At least, I like to believe that! I think all musicians want to believe that their instrument carry in them some form of inspirational spiritual presence that is greater than ones self. This song is my view of the inspirational force of God, that moved on Freddy Gretsch to make such special instruments. It is that specialty that Fred Senior received, and Fred Gretsch the 3rd recaptured. In other words, Fred Gretsch the 3rd, has reestablished the lineage provided by Fred Gretsch Sr. Therefore, in doing so Freddy Gretsch the 3rd has passed that lineage on to you and I. Now, we can enjoy knowing that we owners of Gretsch guitars are heirs to the special lineage between these instruments and God who originally inspired Freddy Gretsch Senior. I hope you enjoy this work. You can view the video at the following link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITbwlZNrJas

"Vincent"

My arrangement of "Vincent" or "Starry Starry Night". The most famous version is probably Don Mclean's. This rendition is taken after Chet Atkins' wonderful piece. I recorded it some years back and I think I used a 6120.
"Sealed With A Kiss"
Gene1000
My rendition of "Sealed With A kiss". Brian Hyland's version way back in 1962 was probably the most popular version.

Estrellita
GaryL
A one verse attempt at Chet's version of Estrellita written by Manuel Ponce. Chet used a D tuning on his 6th string which I did not do. As always Chet had great tone on his recording. I used my 6120 with the bass pickup and the mud switch engaged. Thanks for listening. Gary

I wrote and recorded this song this week. It's about a friend of mine who I couldn't save from his drug use back in 1967. Sad, but if it helps someone stay away from drug use, then it was worth recording...

Oh What It Seemed to Be
GaryL
I'm a big Jim Reeves fan and I enjoyed working on this arrangement listening to Jim's great voice. I tried to think how Chet might have done it in his early days. I used a Gretsch 6120 with lots of Bigsby and no amplifier. A simple BIAB backing track. The Jim Reeves wiki page link is as follows: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Reeves What a career Jim had! The amount of hits and records he set across the globe is staggering. So sad that he left us at such a young age. Thanks, GaryL

My Father liked to play the harmonica when he was in the right mood and I remember him being quite a good musician. This melody is one I especially liked and the alternating 4 bar/3 bar phrasing in this version came naturally from my imperfect memory of the song.
