'Love's Train' - Bruno Mars, Anderson .Paak and Silk Sonic | James Croxton

Hey guys! I'm back again with another one of my session portfolio videos where I aim to authentically recreate recorded performances by artists who inspire me or give my take on their music. In this video I'm playing 'Love's Train' by Bruno Mars, Anderson .Paak and Silk Sonic.

I really love the guitar playing on this song, it's sparse yet effective in supporting the harmony whilst also being rhythmically interesting. This song requires a really locked in approach to the parts and choosing your chord voicing carefully to not step on any of the other instruments toes; which is crucial to session work.

I am available for session work and functions so please don't hesitate to get in touch.

If you enjoyed the video please support me by liking, commenting what you thought and consider subscribing to the channel. And please don't hesitate to follow me on my socials if you want to stay up to date with all my content. It all goes a long way and I appreciate it massively. There are big things on the way!

As always, thank you for watching and thank you to any new viewers and subscribers - the exposure really helps!
