Hello, I have accepted the honor of picking the March song of the month. I picked the song "Secret Agent Man". For those of you not familiar with the song, it was a hit sung by Johnny Rivers in the mid 60's. The first version of it was only a one chorus version written for the US opening of "Danger Man", a spy show re-named Secret Agent for the US TV market. The theme became popular enough that they wrote more lyrics and released the song on a record.
Chris was kind enough to provide the sheet music and a backing track. After I picked the song I decided I also wanted to do a guitar back track for myself to see if I could do some of the songs riffs. I have included my back track for download if anyone wants to use it. BE WARNED! My back track does not fit the sheet music. It's also in a different key and contains some flub ups so use at your own risk. I used some guitar tabs I found on the web so I'm not 100% positive what key my track is in. I'm thinking Em, but I could be wrong. You play by ear guys won't have any problems. I just winged it myself and hoped for the best. The drums and bass is BIAB, all the rest is me. My guitar skills are about on par with my sax playing so there you go....
