Thread Name: Tune Req: Wedding March for Guitar
Subject: RE: Tune Req: Wedding March for Guitar
Thankyou for that link. Wish I'd had it a couple of weeks back when I & a friend had to sing & play at my niece's wedding. We did get it all worked out, however. Mind you. it seemed a bit bizarre to realize that Wagner's Wedding March from Lohengrin could be done with 3 chords. As could the Mendelssohn (sp?).

my friend:"So we're doing the Mendelssohn as the recessional?"
me: "Yeah, but everybody up here are country music people; they'd refer to it as the getaway!"
My friend looked at me; I looked at him and we launched into a quadruple tempo bluegrass version.

Did I mention the weekend was kind of a fun gig?
