Cavatina 2 HD,Theme From The Deer Hunter The Shadows Instrumental Cover by David

"Cavatina" is a 1970 classical guitar piece by British composer Stanley Myers written for the film The Walking Stick (1970), and popularised as the theme from The Deer Hunter some eight years later. As the Italian diminutive of cavata, cavatina is a musical term frequently applied to any simple, melodious air. The piece had been recorded by classical guitarist John Williams, long before the film that made it famous. It had originally been written for piano, but at Williams' invitation Myers re-wrote it for guitar and expanded it. After this transformation, it was first used for the film The Walking Stick (1970). In 1973, Cleo Laine wrote lyrics and recorded the song as "He Was Beautiful", accompanied by Williams. After the release of The Deer Hunter in 1978, Williams' instrumental version became a UK Top 20 hit. Two other versions also made the Top 20 in the same year: another instrumental recording by The Shadows, with an electric guitar played by Hank Marvin, released on their album String of Hits with the name "Theme from The Deer Hunter" (number 9 in the UK singles charts] and number 1 in The Netherlands); and a vocal version (using Cleo Laine's lyrics) by Iris Williams. Hope you enjoy my live recorded no editing, version of this beautiful piece of music , mine is a simpler version without the bends and pedal swells, which will help beginners to learn it, I've just added some nice gentle tremolo dips for certain notes . I first learned this when I started out playing guitar in 2016, so this is a replacement for a earlier video I removed. Played on my Harley Benton ST-59 guitar ,on the bridge pickup, through my Zoom G3x pedal , with The Shadows EFTP patches. Connected via L/R outputs to two Line 6 Spider combo amps in stereo. Video Panasonic TM900 AVCHD Dolby Stereo. Sony Ext Mic connected direct to the camera. Lexato Wireless System WS-50 5 ghz. BT and tabs from Goran Tangrings website.
