Hello. Lionel Richie / The Shadows instrumental cover. Free Tabs

"Hello" is a song by Lionel Richie. Taken as the third single from his second solo album Can't Slow Down, the song was released in 1984 and reached number one on three Billboard music charts: the pop chart (for two weeks), the R&B chart (for three weeks),and the adult contemporary chart (for six weeks). The song also went to number one in the UK Singles Chart for six weeks.
The Shadows made an instrumental cover for their 1986 Album Moonlight Shadows.
Mine is based on the Shadows version and is my 8th Cover to date from that great album.
I used my Alan Brason Custom Stratocaster with Kinman FV-HMS pickups on mid position through an Alesis Quadraverb Q2 with EFTP patch 0-36 and into cubase SX 6.
I made tabs out the way I believe Hank Marvin played it which are free to download here :-
www.philmcgarrick.co.uk/scores...
The Backing track came from Roger Paulsson VOL 15 available here :-
sites.google.com/view/backtra...
Note.. although I used Roger’s BT this is a completely different version to Rogers demo but the BT can be used for either version.
There are free karaoke versions on YT but they always have a solo on there as they are designed for singers.
Please enjoy “Hello”

A superb rendition of this classic song Phil.
I have heard many versions, but none as "complete" as this!
Cheers!
Geoff.

[@random275]

Hi Geoff - I wanted to do Hank's arrangement from that CD - He always makes great arrangements although his solo took a lot of work Lol.
Many thanks for your good comments.. All the best... Phil

[@jimcrossland3575]

Hi Phil, Thank you so much for all the songs you transcribe and make the tabs available for free. Excellent musician with a fantastic ethos of wanting to teach for the sake of music and not for financial gain. You are a gentleman to be commended thank you

[@random275]

Many thanks Jim - Yes I find the Tabs help me play a song more quickly so I'm happy to share them with anyone who finds them useful.
I got tired of buying the commercial ones and not agreeing with the string/fret positions on some of the songs.
I also wanted them all on one page so I haven't got to use a page turner when making the video Lol
Very glad you find them useful.. All the best.. Phil

[@random275]

Thanks for your good comment Dave - Its one of those songs you remember because the words can be used in so many contexts :-) Thanks also for your comment on my Whitney Houston song which went into "There are comments awaiting approval" - And there is no tick box next to it to approve.??
This happens a lot and I've no idea how to fix the problem.
so apologies for not replying in the normal way.
Cheers Phil
