Far Above🎸Steve Costello🎸Take 2

🎸"Far Above" Take 2 - Proverbs 31:10 A.V., is the second take of an original simple tune (simple progression) by Steve Costello and Cosmo Fasciano. Cosmo wrote and created the progression and performed a superb background with the Yamaha Arranger keyboard, while Steve rides on it and improvises the lead guitar. Steve plays his guitar licks in his own style, but are similar to the 60's electric Blues guitar styles of Albert King, Jimi Hendrix, John Fogerty, Stevie Ray Vaughan and other similar style Blues guitar players.

🎸In this song, Steve's guitar playing is all improvised in the Key of "A".

🎸"Far Above" is a simple progression. It has an intro, repetitive verses, then an outro. It has three chords: A - D and E (the 1 - 4 - 5 chords).

🎸In this jam, Cosmo provides the background to support Steve' lead guitar.

🎸"Far Above" is played in Steve Costello & Cosmo Fasciano's own styles. However, there are some influences from the styles of Albert King, Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan.

🎸Steve has been playing guitar for over 48 years. He has had the pleasure of jamming with and recording many songs with the very talented Cosmo Fasciano. These recordings and Steve's studio recordings are now being remastered and uploaded, with many more tapes to go through.

🎸No overdubs - this song "Far Above" was recorded "live" with guitar and background recorded together.

🎸Steve and Cosmo's music is improvised, "created on the spot" guitar playing in various styles of music, with guitar styles that include feedback, fuzz, wawa, EQ, sustain and of course the clean sound.

🎸Go to Steve Costello's YouTube channel to hear many more original Steve Costello and Cosmo Fasciano original compositions, many playing in the style of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Albert King & Jimi Hendrix.

🎸Presented here, as they are re-mastered and uploaded, is one song from the many years of recordings from Cosmo's and Steve's analog 4 track recorders. Hence the channel name "Steve Costello - Original Studio Recordings".

🎸Steve Costello and Cosmo Fasciano recorded various styles of original material from many years of recordings (mid 90's until about 2010) from analog 4 track recorders, as I had the pleasure of jamming with and recording many songs with the very talented Cosmo Fasciano. I have many of these recordings, along with my own recordings, and these are the recordings which I am now remastering with Audacity, and putting these songs up on this channel. There are many tapes, and some have been re-mastered, but there are still many more to do. The end result is well worth it, but it takes the stress of dealing with analog issues such as matching various tape speeds and pitch, an occasional tape that gets "eaten " and the hassle of repairing it, and tape deck trim pots oxidizing.

Enjoy!
