Good job, Joe, and welcome to the forum!

Hey thanks =)

I quite at age 11 in level 6, and now I'm restarting w/o a teacher at age 17.

thanks a mill for that movie link Koko.
and jasper for the site link.
i'd never heard about it until now.
good stuff.

hey jasper would you mind sending me your "project" when you're done? i'd really like an accurate version for the coda and i've been searching for ages for one.
thanks

I sure can, thegreatchinaman. I will send you a private message so I can email you. This piece of music is something I never completed but I will give you what I have. Thanks for your interest.

hey nice cover joe.

I'm taking IB too lol. And I doubt I'll get 6's either

and when did that movie come out? i've never heard of it before.

Would you be able to send me your project as well
I wish to play the song for a music exam in school and would like the accurate version
thanks

Yes, I sure can. Please check your PM.

For me, the 'unplugged' version, is well suited to piano, or acoustic guitar. I enjoy playing this on either instrument.


It is in Dm, by the way.

Beginning chords are: Dm Bb C Dm
Happy to supply the rest on request



Apologies! After re-reading the thread, I realised that it was the Coda to the original version, that the OP was asking about.

Please ignore my errant post

This is a very old thread, but I read some interesting sidebar discussions on the recording...here is another... my daughter, who is a journalist at a newspaper, had occasion to interview Rita Coolidge who was playing a local concert. Rita says that the piano part was HER creation, and that she had played it for Gordon (her boyfriend at the time) at some point during a demo session.

From http://www.billboard.com/articles/c...ir-delta-lady-eric-clapton-derek-dominos

"In her just published memoir Delta Lady (Harper), Coolidge details a songwriting session with Jim Gordon, who went on to co-write and record “Layla” alongside Eric Clapton. Coolidge says she conceived what would one day become the song’s piano-laced coda as an unfinished demo with Gordon in 1970."
