The Rocks On

Question by melita.maefrank: Curious – Is Newton Faulkner known of in countries other than Australia?What would you like to ask?

Newton Faulkner is an awsome acoustic guitarist and singer/songwriter from Australia. Anyone from America or Europe ever heard of him… his best songs are Dream Catcher and Gone in the Morning.

Definitely Australian – I saw him in concert, and he didn’t have an accent (well, I guess he had an Aussie accent). His guitar skills are incredible!

Question by =]: What would be a really good song to cover in the style of Eric Roche or Newton Faulkner?
The style of guitar i play is called percussive fingerstlye, and it’s basically hitting the guitar as you play it to get a drum effect, if you’ve heard of Newton Faulkner, Eric Roche or Thomas Leeb, that’s how they play.
I need to think of a song to arrange into that style for this competition coming up next month, any ideas?

I think the song you are looking for is called “Assalaam Alaikum Hasa Pretty Diya Warahamatullah.”

It is performed by the renowned team of Susan Boyle and Zev Boim.
