Blackberry Blossom in D??

[Rick Fannin]

Hey fellow pickles,

Any body have a nice arrangement of Blackberry Blossom in D? I'd love to hear an audio or see a video clip

Hey, Rick... it's one of my favorite tunes, but I admit I had nevery tried it in D until I read the thread. I originally learned it in C, then relearned it in G (since that seemed to be the favored key). I've been picking on it in Drop D, and it doesnt sound too bad. I'll try to get it recorded this weekend capoed at "2" in the C position, and also in the open Drop D tuning.

I enjoy playing such tunes out of their conventional keys. I have messed around with this one, so I will try to post a video sometime on Saturday. Thanks for the challenge.:-)

Rick, I just put up a video version of Blackberry Blossom. Thanks for the challenge....:-)

Okay - so Bob's video is for the more advanced crowd (and an awesome job with the song, too!)... Here is an MP3, since I'm video-challenged, to represent those of us still aspiring to be able to play like Bob. It was a fun challenge... Now I'm off to try some others in different keys (after I finish trying to steal some licks from Bob's video) :)

Ray, nice version in D. Out of C position is easier in my opinion, and the chorus part gives some room for a nice A minor improv over it. I'm gonna try it in E position. I'm a glutton for punishment.:-)

Bob and Ray, those are really fabulous. I'm entering a contest and I'd like to play in G to start then switch to D for the final round. Hope you don't mind if I steal some licks.
