A little project I've been working on. Would love to hear what you guys think! I take requests as well so I'd love to hear what people would like to hear!

That was tremendous. Truly enjoyed it. You are very talented

Absolutely beautiful! The whole thing was great, but I especially loved the coda, my favorite part of the original song (Brian’s piano noodling is my favorite part of that song, so it was great to hear it in your version).

It’s not my favorite beach boys song, but I think “All I Wanna Do” from Sunflower would sound pretty incredible in this style. Will you be sticking with solely two guitar arrangements for your covers, or will you be adding another guitar if it suits the song?

Truly wonderful stuff, g502. And yes, "All I Wanna Do" sounds like a great choice to me too.

I think I WENT TO SLEEP is a good candidate for being interpreted by two guitars.
Rather than duplicating the recorded arrangement, an expanded arrangement would be very interesting. It could use a good intro. The second section (the instrumental section with flutes) lends itself to counterpoint and interplay between the instruments. The last verse could be a delicate restatement with the ending containing some harmonics.

Some good ideas there, sb--departing from the original recording but still respecting it. The harmonics are a nice touch.
