Just wondering how long it took as a song full of different guitar sounds ukelele,jazz,and rhythmic must have taken a while to get down and have it sounding so good i've just listened to it and i'm amazed by the professionalism in his playing and techniques ,but hey this is brian may we're talking about what else would you expect.
Brian himself is on record as saying Good Company is an homage to the 'trad-jazz' bands he heard when growing up, hence all the sax, clarinet, trombone sounds from his guitar. Leroy Brown is more in the style of Dixieland jazz, although I'd say that the term 'jazz' is one of the looser interpreations you'd ever find.
To answer the question Brenda, I heard 3 weeks.
