about
An ambient guitar take on the traditional song "Shenandoah". Features me playing the EBow through a EHX Grand Canyon with pitch shifted delay.
I am a 10 minute walk from the Shenandoah River, so this tune is on my mind a lot.
Even though I am not singing on this piece, I've included one variation of the traditional lyrics in case you are interested.
lyrics
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you,
Away, you rolling river
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away, I'm bound away, cross the wide Missouri.
Oh, Shenandoah, I love your daughter,
Away, you rolling river
Oh, Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Away, I'm bound away, cross the wide Missouri.
Oh, Shenandoah, I'm bound to leave you,
Away, you rolling river
Oh, Shenandoah, I'm bound to leave you
Away, I'm bound away, cross the wide Missouri.
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you,
Away, you rolling river
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you
Away, I'm bound away, cross the wide Missouri.
