An invitation from David Singleton, to all Crafty Guitarists and friends:

While on the “Cruise to the Edge” with Robert Fripp, David Singleton had the idea of inviting mass contributions to a song, “Life’s a Boat”.

“We are all in the same boat together. So, in a world that seems determined to build walls, what better than a song where we all come together to contribute whatever we can. Robert Fripp described THRAK as the sound of 117 guitars almost hitting the same chord simultaneously. So how about 117 guitars playing the simple backing chords. Or maybe 1,117 guitars. Or 117 people, from 117 different countries or states. Some of the parts are so simple that a one note/one finger performance is all that is needed. And there is always adding your voice to the chorus. Anyone with a simple recording device at home can take part.”

Anyone interested in becoming part of the guitar orchestra for this recording should send an email to lifesaboat@thevicar.com

There is a quick demo on youtube:
