The song "Undun" was part of a 1969 Guess Who album; I always thought this song was really cool. Recently, I started working on this and finally figured it out. It's a challenge because the tempo is so very fast and both the words and the chord changes come at you at about 90 mph all at the same time. So because of that I am singing to my guitar half the time as I try not to mess up. But it's a great song and it's a total ear worm once you get it in your head. I used my Eastman archtop guitar for this to get more of a jazz sound and I used my '78 Gibson ES-335 to play an improvised solo part where Burton Cummings played a flute solo.
Thanks for listening! I did put up chord diagrams and lyrics to help those who might be interested in how this is played.

It's such a great rhythm guitar song. Randy Bachman was underrated . I enjoyed this so much!

Thank you very much Salciaburri! I'm so glad you thought this cover worked out well. Yes, I agree, it is a great rhythm guitar song. It took me a day or two of experimentation to figure out how to play this to get the right feel. I also agree with you that Randy Bachman has been underrated. This song is a great example of his insight. Thanks for taking time to listen and comment! I hope all is well for you. - Glenn

Thanks so much, Moosehead! I really appreciate your listening one more time to one of my covers and being so generous in your encouragement! This is such a terrific song! I remember it from way back from about 1970 about the time my wife and I got married. This song was on one of the first albums we bought. I hope you are doing well! - Glenn

Wow! Great cover Glenn! I like how you’ve included chords and lyrics. Your vocals are sounding good too. I’ve enjoyed the original for many years and with your putting it out there so clearly I will give it a try, though the changes are quick.

Hi Glenn! Thank you for your nice reply. I’ve made good progress on learning this song on my 12 string guitar over the past few days. This will take a while yet. I don’t have your high vocal range as I top out in my falsetto voice on the high (G4) note you hit. I can drop it an octave and that’s fine for learning it but I’m not sure it works with that low voice. Will also try lowering it a 5th and see how that goes, with the harmonic ping on the high E string instead of the B. It is a great song to learn and I think the lyrics have held up well over time.

Hi George! Well, good for you. This is a tough song to play AND sing. Yes, changing the key might help; you could try it. Good for you for going after this, and on a 12-string no less! Take care, - Glenn

Hi Glenn. Flute player 86, a.k.a. Amanda here. Well done. I'm glad to report that the performance today at church of Gordon Lightfoot, pussy willows cat tails coupled with Morning Has Broken and seek ye first went well. Still playing the flute, and still working with minstrel of the DAWN. I like the difference in sound between the 12 string and the six string guitar. I do have a question. Does the wood that the guitar is made of an influence on the sound? For example, oak versus cedar?

Hi Amanda. I'm glad your music performances have worked out well. Good for you! Yes, I like the differences in sound between a 6-string and a 12-string guitar, too. They are both wonderful instruments. And so is the flute. The choices of wood for building a guitar does make some difference in tone but so much can be done by the manufacturer to affect the sound that comes off the guitar that it is very hard to predict what different woods will do unless a player knows who's building it. Most guitars are built with spruce tops and mahogany back and sides. More expensive guitars are built with rosewood back and sides. Sometimes tops are made of western red cedar or redwood, a cousin of western red cedar. Other back and side materials are used, such as maple or koa and sometimes oak. Take care Amanda, - Glenn

@@glennwillow5124 hi there. Thank you for answering my question. Still working with minstrel of the DAWN. My friend Cynthia is an excellent pianist. She has the piano music, but why does Mr. Lightfoot have to make it hard to do the syncopated rhythms that he plays in minstrel of the DAWN on piano. They are so easy to play on guitar, but on piano is a little bit harder. Mr. Lightfoot is one of my guardian angels. He's on my left shoulder, and my dad is on my right. I lost my dad, whose name was also Glenn, to cancer 22 years ago. I miss him so much. My dad Glenn was 47 years old. He was also a longtime Star Wars fan. My favorite trilogy of all the trilogies is the original.

@@fluteplayer8636 HI Amanda. I'm so sorry to read that you lost your dad at such a young age. What a terrible shame. But having two guardian angels of your dad and Gordon Lightfoot is pretty nice. I'm glad they are watching out for you. Regarding syncopation, it seems to happen quite naturally on guitar and it is fairly easy to do especially if the player is a finger picker. But syncopation on the piano is much harder to do. You hear it in ragtime music, for example, but not many players can do a good job at ragtime. Translating guitar songs to the piano always seems to be difficult. Piano players don't play the same way guitar players do and vice versa. And I'm glad your dad could appreciate the early Star Wars movies with you. What a wonderful memory. You take care, Amanda. - Glenn

@@glennwillow5124 thank you. I was 15 when I lost my dad. When my dad died, I was never the same again. My mom also likes Star Wars, which is a good thing. We're working with menstrual of I don't know why though. There are times where I don't like to use my cane. I'm very self-conscious of it. I have it with me, but I don't use it unless I have to. I do remember, when I was walking with my dad, he would have me use my cane while walking with him. I always had to have my cane opened and down before we would go anywhere. Nowadays, I can do sided guide without my cane in hand, or at least have my cane open so that people can see. I was telling you about earlier we got stern. I was able to compromise with the musician. He said to me, OK. You can have your keen open, but you don't have to use it. Unless you want to. I wonder why as a guardian angel he is still insistent. I also have Star Wars related dreams as well. They are in Audio. I have a toy model of an X swing, and it's a pretty cool little ship. the DAWN, and we can get the beginning part, but when it gets to the middle where Mr. Lightfoot starts picking, and it gets a little faster, that's the part we're having trouble with. Same thing with his peace Christian Island. Have you done that piece yet? Gordon Lightfoot Christian Island? It is pretty cool to have a folk legend like Gordon Lightfoot as a guardian angel. Did you know, that even as a guardian angel, he is still insistent on me using my cane. i've had audio related dreams of being with Gordon Lightfoot. Of course, they're in my imagination. It doesn't matter what I do or say, in dreams and things, Gordon would insist on me using my cane to get around. Especially when we were going to do something musical. I can remember once such dream, where I was protesting so much about using my cane, that Gordon had to get both stern and angry. he actually in a dream said to me once, Amanda, use your cane while walking with me, or we go nowhere. Even as a guardian angel, he is still very insistent.

@@fluteplayer8636 Well, Gordo was a pretty practical guy, so if he, as your guardian angel, is insisting that you use your cane, maybe he sees something that will keep you safer. I have lost the sight of my right eye and my left eye is getting worse gradually. So I could end up blind in a few years if I live that long. For me, that would be frightening, so I see you as a person who must be incredibly brave. But brave or not, maybe Gordo is right about your using your cane more. I'd sure be using my cane if I were to lose the sight of my left eye. Regarding the song, "Christian Island," I have never done that song, but I know it fairly well. Gordon Lightfoot wrote so many terrific songs. Amanda, I'd say you are pretty lucky to have your dad on one side and Gordo on the other. You take care and be safe! - Glenn
