Guitar Backing Track: Sleep Walk [Santo and Johnny]

NEW! Check out my new eBook on rockabilly techniques!

Listen to my EP below!

Here is the backing track I made for my performance of Sleep Walk. It is in C major and based on the Santo and Johnny version.

Thank you for this video! I’m driving my wife nuts playing the steel guitar to this!

[DizzyKrissi]

You are the only one with the right chords because every other backing track always uses F-minor when a F-major is indicated. Thank you

Having so much fun practicing this one with you, Tom. Only bummer was the guitar that comes in at 2:04 because that's the part we're playing (based on your tabs video). Unless I'm mistaken? Either way, thanks so much for putting this out there. It's giving something life-affirming to do in these crappy times.

Sleepwalk, instead of dreaming I sleepwalk,
Cause I lost you and now what am I to do,
Can't believe that we're through

Sleep talk, cause I miss you I sleep talk,
While the memories of you wither like a soul,
Darling I was so low

The night fills me only blame, I see your face,
Tears through my brain,
I know I miss you so, I still love you,
Drives me insane

Sleepwalk, every night I just sleepwalk,
Please come back and when you walk inside the door
I will sleepwalk no more.

[GCRitmos]

Thank you! I like this backing track. I was looking for other versions (near the original). But... I like this <3

[Bronaldhernz]

Hello Tom, thank you and I’m grateful you have produced this backing track! It’s perfect for practicing to the original! Me and my son would like to do a cover using your backing, but only with your permission. I would gladly add a link to your video as well! Appreciate your music!

Olá. Faça o solo de Sllepwalk como Hank Marvin dos The Shadows. É lindo e mostrará uma bela versão da música. Abraços desde São Paulo - Brasil.

Hi Tom, the backing track you made is awesome. I would like permission to use it to cover the song. Thank you.

[ChrisDeJuanMusic]

Great backing track! Are the drums real drums or very well programmed with Superior Drummer 3!? Thanks!

[voltic]

What are the final three chords in the backing track?

[MusicaAylin]

Am I the only one who had to lower the speed at 0.75? Lol. Hope someday I'm able to follow the original speed!

[AlexGarcia-ykpe]
