Take Five

Another one from my friend Matt and I. Instrumental, two acoustic guitars.
I led with our best tunes (IMO), so I hope you're not getting progressively more disappointed with these...

I've always loved this song. And the count off is great!
1 2 3 4 ... 5?

This song is so much fun. It's such an earworm. When I was little, I wanted to learn it so badly that it spurred me to figure out music by ear.
Sounds great. I like how you relax, stretch out and swing even more by the end. Thanks for posting it.
Now if you really want to have fun, combine it with the doors' riders on the storm--it totally works.

Ahh this is one of the songs that kills me to play - the phrasing is so tricky. You guys did a great job.

Hey, I'm glad you all enjoyed this! I really need to stop making excuses for everything before I post it...

oh man.
this was the de facto fight song for everyone who played music at my highschool. whenever tehre was a break in any program, the band (pit band, marching band, jazz combo, concert band, choir, etc.) would break into take five.
this takes me back...

How'd I miss this?
I put the Brubeck album on probably once a week, loudly, while cooking dinner.
Also, it's one of the top 5 songs that I always start playing the beginning rhythm part to and then don't know how to play the rest.
Great job.

Fantastic version. Have you ever heard this song? It's a great remake of this song, though it's not as clear in that 30 sec clip.
But sorry for the distraction. Your version is really good.

I'm trying to think if I've ever heard a direct cover of Take 5, and I don't think I have. Thanks for doing this.
