Monthly Recording Challenge 55 - "To the Movies"

[UncleHammy]

This month's theme comes to us from  @Wim VD

Theme:  "To the Movies"

Description:  Any song appearing in movies (or television show).  That is a pretty broad topic so pick your favorite show and long a song used in it. 

Deadline: 11:59 PM PST  April 30, 2018

1. @Wim VD - "Mission Impossible Theme"

2. @WATSON43 -  "Moon River"

3. @mark_h - "My Love Will Go On"

4. @Nutty1 -- "Can You Feel The Love Tonight"

------------------< RULES >-------------------------
SUBMITTING: To complete the challenge, record an eligible song and reply to this thread with your your direct-linked or embedded track (Soundcloud's great) before the end of the month.

GUITAR REQUIREMENT: You must play at least one real guitar track heard in the mix.

GEAR: All content must be recorded with your home studio equipment. You may use BIAB or loops as long as you play the majority of the song with your real guitar. This is a guitar playing challenge not a sampling/recording challenge so keep that in mind.

TIME: A recording made at any time before the entry deadline counts, but do not enter a recording in more than one challenge.

ONE ENTRY per person or collaboration. But, I doubt anybody will complain if you want to share another on-theme track too.

NEXT THEME: The person to choose next month's theme will be chosen randomly from those who complete this challenge. 
-----------------------------------------------------

Have fun, try something new, and give us something to listen to!

As I have the pleasure to select the theme, I would like to kick off this month's recording challenge with a fingerstyle arrangement of Mission Impossible. Another one from the Song Hits.

Thanks for listening.

Really nice version Watson43. One of my favorite songs too. ??????

I’m feeling better this month, but I have a stack of new music to learn for next months weddings so here is one that fits the challenge but is not very recent. Mark

 

[UncleHammy]

Great song @mark_h and as always beautifully played. 

 

Thanks for sharing.

[WATSON43]

Simply beautiful @mark_h .  You play with great touch and emotion.

[Nutty1]

Absolutely superbly played Mark, I agree with what Watson43 said exactly!

Watching you play with the fluidity, elegance and a sense of grace, seemingly effortless with efficiency of motion really leaves me a bit slack-jawed with awe. This is beautifully well-done, the only thing I regret is not sitting in the sunshine with you, the mountains in the background,  and experiencing the moment first-hand. You are a treasure for the community here. Thanks for sharing your music with us.

Thanks so much Greg, you are way to kind. You’re welcome to come with your guitar and sit in the sun with me any day. ? This community is awesome and it is always a joy to participate. I was working on Adam Raferty’s version of “Lovely Day” this morning and eventually had to admit defeat, and then modify it to suit my skill level. ? No matter where we are in our guitar journey there always seems to be a long way to go. But as long as we are playing better than last month, we are still moving forward. Thanks again, Mark

[Wim VD]

@mark_h,

Mark, I am glad you are feeling better and that you shared this beautiful song with us.

Wim.
