Aberfeldy, “Summer’s Gone” Tab and Lyrics
Thursday, January 3rd, 2008When a band can sound this good with one mic and no overdubbing it’s probably safe to say they’d be good live. I love the the playful harmonies in this song and the raw, un-tampered with sound of Aberfeldy and their minimalist recording style.

The first guitar part during the verses is just a variant on the intro. I think I’ve given you enough to figure that out.
