"(Where Do I Begin?) Love Story" is a popular song published in 1970, with music by Francis Lai and lyrics by Carl Sigman. The song was first introduced as an instrumental theme in the 1970 film Love Story after the film's distributor, Paramount Pictures, rejected the first set of lyrics that were written. Andy Williams eventually recorded the new lyrics and took the song to number nine on Billboard magazine's Hot 100 and number one on their Easy Listening chart.
This was a request for Krishna Kumar - Hope it’s what you wanted Krishna !!
Played on my Fender Custom 56 nos Stratocaster fitted with Kinman Impersonator 54v3 Pickups on Mid position.
Through an Alesis Quadraverb Q2 with EFTP patch 0-36. I used a Boss OS-2 foot pedal for the distorted section near the end. Sound recorded in Cubase SX 6 and edited with the three 4k Video takes in Sony Vegas Pro 14.
I used a FREE Karaoke backing track available on YT here :- • Where Do I Begin - (HD... Thank you

Lyrics
Where do I begin
To tell the story of how great a love can be
The sweet love story that is older than the sea
The simple truth about the love she brings to me
Where do I start
With her first hello
She gave new meaning to this empty world of mine
There'd never be another love, another time
She came into my life and made the living fine
She fills my heart
She fills my heart with very special things
With angels' songs, with wild imaginings
She fills my soul with so much love
That anywhere I go I'm never lonely
With her around, who could be lonely
I reach for her hand, it's always there
How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers now but this much I can say
I know I'll need her 'till the stars all burn away
And she'll be there
How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers now but this much I can say
I know I'll need her 'till the stars all burn away
And she'll be there - เพลง
Beautifully done. I played guitar and sang with Andy Williams over a 16 year period, at his theatre in MO and on tour in the UK and Asia and Japan, and had the honor of playing this song at almost every performance (he always wanted to be sure the fans got their favorites in the show!). I really enjoy your style, the tremolo 'whammy' phrasing is very neatly done, and not overdone (which often happens)... bravo, sir.
Thanks very much for that information - It's great to hear from somebody who knew Andy Williams well ! It must have been awesome accompanying him on the guitar and singing !! And thanks for your good comments on my cover :-) Very much appreciated.. Phil
Great...! Enjoyed a lot.........! Well played..!
Another beautiful music.
Many thanks Lori ! All the best Phil

Carl Sigman wrote a shed load of lyrics to songs. One I didn`t know he did . It`s a great tune too Phil and no could sing song like Andy .He had some voice .I saw him once in Usher Hall Edinburgh with Michel Legrand .One of best performances ever .
Your performance is top notch too .Excellent Phil .
Cheers ,
Roger
Yes Andy Williams was my late Mother in Laws favourite singer .. I saw a program on TV recently where Andy was singing with his 3 older brothers who were also good ! Thanks for your good comments on this one Roger! Cheers Phil

Good Saturday Evening Phil, it humbles me and I have no words to express my feelings for such a beautiful rendition of this song from Love Story. I am honored. Your playing, the tone of Fender so ethereal and the backing track so awesome. That was a fantastic weekend treat enjoyed to the full. Today our PM kicked off the vaccination programme. It would be a dose two jabs with a month's gap. And unlike the one in Europe the vial need not be stored at -70 degres C. Thank you and wish you have safe and smiling weekend.
Thanks for the great comments Krishna and for the good suggestion - I didn't realise how popular this song is and I enjoyed playing it. Yes on the UK news it says that All of India will be vaccinated by end August which is amazing for a population of 1.366 billion !!
how will they achieve it so fast ! You too have a great weekend and thanks again for the suggestion.. Cheers Phil
Thank you Phil
Is nice to wake up with this beautiful song .
Have a good day and enjoy the snow ❄️ 😂😂
Tks
Thanks a lot Carlos ! so pleased you liked it.. Cheers Phil
I remember this movie. It was the second one in my life that made me cry. Nicely played my friend as usual
Thanks a lot Mike - I don't think I've ever seen the film.. I tend to watch mostly action films :-) All the best Phil
Mesmerising………. If he was alive Andy Williams would have been thrilled by your performance 😁👍
Brilliant, Absolutely Brilliant. NORM
Thank you so much Norm ! All the best Phil
Hi Phil, a lovely instrumental my friend, played with class and feeling. I have to give you a massive 10/10 for the use of your effect pedal, I think it’s the first time I have seen a pedal used without the person using it feeling the need to blow the roof off with it’s effect, thank god there is someone out there that has some sort of control with effect pedals, well used sir. Another stout performance of a truly great love classic. Enjoyed it...... enjoyed it so much, I’m now gonna listen to it again to see what I can learn from it.
❤️’d it. All the best from the Sanctuary............. Ian 🎸
Thanks for the great comments Ian ! - Yes distortion pedals can be over wound up - I just wanted to give it a bit of extra edge to match Andy Williams crescendos on the last part of the song. I still haven't found exactly the sound I'm looking for but I've ordered another pedal kit this time for a fuzz pedal so we'll see how that one turns out.:-) I love making them as well ! All the best Phil
Beautiful 🌹
Many thanks Carolyn ! all the best Phil

Hello teacher Phil.
Thank you very much for sharing this song, I have only known him for more than 6 years, when I was in high school my grandfather gave me an instrumental album where this song came, along with others that I have mentioned before such as Wheels and Calcutta by Al Caiola , Theme from a Summer Place by Perci Fait, Nuestro Mundo and Pan Flute by Frank Pourcel, Ballad for adelina and heart of a child by Pianist Raul D'i Blacio, all these themes that I mention remind me a lot of my time in high school since before I left when I woke up (I still did not have a cell phone, nor did I know the internet, much less Hank Marvin and The Shadows), then I would get up and put Play on my disk recorder and Caset and play all these songs inculcating (Where Do I Begin) Love Story by Andy Williams, but in instrumental version.😊😊😊🎸🎸
Thank you very much for sharing this master theme, it also had very good sound, good editing and a great set when joining video and audio, it is always very happy and impressive for me to see his videos, it always surprises me with a new one.😊😊😊🎸🎸
Greetings from Mexico Angel.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊👌👌👌👌🎸🎸🎸🎸
Thank you so much Angel for your detailed reply and I realise you have to translate it into English for me to understand . Your grandfather made a big impression on you as you know well the songs that were on the album he gave you! You have a wide knowledge of all types of music and for someone so young this is a really good thing ! Apart from that you are a very good lead guitarist, bass guitarist, rhythm guitarist and drummer ! so who knows you might end up working in the music industry or being in a popular band. I wish you all the best.. Cheers Phil
Ciao Phil!amo questa canzone!la tua versione e molto bella!ti auguro una bella serata!e una bellissima domenica!!🙋💑😅😅😍😍🤩🤩😘😘🎶🎸🎶💘♥️💔💯💋🌹

Hi Phil!
A beautiful version of this classic and heartbreaking song. Superb playing and sound on this, liked the use of the Boss OD-2 in the last section too. Thanks for sharing this with us, it was excellent

Thanks very much Chris ! so glad you liked it - It's very simple to play once I had worked out the notes Andy was singing.
