A George Harrison tribute. Hopefully it is near to something that George could have recorded...only his would have been a lot more polished and a lot more Hi-Fi. Bless you George.

Major Snagg is the invented name of the 'band' that perform all my own musical creations. (songs and instrumentals). I play guitars, bass, rudimentary keyboards, harmonica, and sing. Melody has always been important to me... lyrics and guitar solos have to say or communicate something. I create musical worlds that I hope that you dear listener, will also want to explore and live in for a few moments...or longer if you feel that way inclined.

Story behind the song
A wistful reflective song... a tribute to George Harrison and his unique melodic slide guitar playing... The lyrics reference one or two stages in his life and recording career and a philosophical take on life . I played the slide guitar parts and the main solo on a Yamaha Pacifica 612V. the nice forest artwork is by David Lyon.
Lyrics
So Many Roads (for George) ... David A Briggs. September 2021 All the roads I've travelled down, and all the lives I've lived. Just think of all the joy you can... ... give a little kindliness, to the pilgrims on this road, help them on in any way, there's a message to de-code. Slip and slide, enjoy the ride, He's always watching you. every moment fades away, into something new. A Mystery tour to the coast, the things you like the most, just think about the times when you'll be... ... living in a great big apple, you'll sit and watch the wheels, all the gnomes here in my park, are laughing in the dark. guitar solo: So many signs, a million lines, but which one should I chose. think about the times when we were ... ... living life from day to day, and brothers through it all, we survived, but how we tried, while friends and innocence died. A spinning wheel, the Wheel Of Life, but what is life, anyway? Here's the deal, it's all a steal, It's Extra Texture, or so they say... Guitar solo #2 Slip and slide , enjoy the ride, He's always watching you. Every moment fades away, into something new... guitar outro, ad-lib vocals, atmospheric effects and sitar music etc.

Fantastic job David...you've really nailed that "George" styling and vibe. The melody is perfect, sounds just like something he would have come up with. Love the guitar work too! A great journey through his life.
