My Bayou Noir

OK, here is my attempt. Website #2.
I took Chris Miller's lesson as an example. This one seems different from most versions I heard. Some seem to start with the second part of this version. Never mind, the chords are the same in both parts.
Chris threw in some ideas to make the melody line a bit more interesting, - licks and syncopated notes - and I tried to add some of my own as well.
I hope you like it!

Re: My Bayou Noir

Great! I really enjoy it.

Re: My Bayou Noir

I like it, Peer!! I'm gonna try and redo mine tonight. Awesome as always.

Thanks guys. I wasn't very satisfied with the guitar/accordion timing so I made another video. As I wear earplugs nowadays when playing, I have some trouble to hear the backing properly.
But here's one without guitar, and just a bit different. Website #3.
Up to you to decide which one sounds better.

Re: Bayou Noir #2

They're both equally as swingin. Really liked the way you ended the second one. So did you make the guitar backing track? I could see it working well for a solo busking situation.
