'Apelo' by Baden-Powell de Aquino in my arrangement

I’ve always liked this tune but somehow couldn’t get around to recording my version. So, here it is; I played it on my HB Fusion-T guitar through a Hotone Ampero Mini for amp/cab modelling and some effects (just rev/dly).

@jvlynch @Silvia80 @CATMAN62 : You don’t know how much your opinions really mean to me and I’m very, very grateful for your kind words.
As for the tune itself, I like it so much and have always wanted to include it in my repertoire largely because of the beautiful chord progression, something I often fall for.
Tod - you’re just too kind… I’m no hero, just a humble amateur, not even a ‘bedroom rocker’, since what I play ‘ain’t what they call rock’n’roll’ :wink: I simply love playing guitar especially now, when (according to some tests) my health is on the verge of a real crisis.
Again, thank you all very much. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Sounds great, Tomasz, lovely tones

@DavidP : Thanks so much, David. Glad you liked it.

Tomasz, I do have to say that Powell’s version with double guitar tracks in the stereo field and light drum track is amazing, but…
this is a beautiful song that you’ve played with great execution, tone and feeling, and you’ve made it your own. Well done for sure and I really enjoyed your take on it.
