Major Snagg

A guitar instrumental

After the fun-fair burnt down, all that remains is the twisted, burnt and rusting steel skeletons of the rides ... and very strangely, the neon signs still come on and flicker for a few brief moments at random times in the night. Maybe it's haunted!

A wistful melancholy guitar instrumental with echoes of a bygone era. The 'Glitterball', in the dancehall is turned off and dust mites float in the dim interior. In your mind's eye, you can still hear the instrumental beat group up on the stage.

A Rock song with some guitar flavours from the early 1970s. OK, I own up ... there's a small musical 'steal' from an early Be Bop Deluxe song in the intro riff !

A nostalgic, look back to the music of the Rock & Roll era. Unapologetically influenced by the twangy guitar sounds of Duane Eddy. Some appropriate voice samples help to take you back to the 1950s.

As accurate a re-creation of Eddie Cochran's hit song as I can manage. Lots of vocals and as with the original, a quite sparse arrangement. ...snare drum, 2 rhythm guitars and bass guitar. 2 lead vocals and 4 backing vocals.

An instrumental version of this old Rock 'n Roll Eddie Cochran song. This is unapologetically in the style of Hank Marvin and The Shadows. I used my Yamaha Pacifica 612V guitar

A lively sixties Pop song. Originally released in 1963 by The Shadows ... yes, they did vocal songs too. This is probably their best one. I came across it quite by accident recently and thought it deserved to be heard again.

An instrumental interpretation of the hit song of 1994 by Sam Phillips. A song from her album, 'Martinis & Bikinis'.

A melancholy guitar instrumental with jazzy overtones. An interplay of both acoustic and jazzy electric guitars.

This evocative guitar instrumental had been stored away unheard and un-used since 2021. After listening to it again, I decided that it really is much too interesting to be discarded, and that it really needed to be included on an album.
