"Merci Marcel" is a tune with a completely different style and feel than many of Buster's other compositions. It was inspired by the techniques and playing of French guitar master Marcel Dadi. To emulate Dadi, Buster used a distinct style and technique using fingernail clicks / strums on the backbeat, with a unique quarter note bass pattern played by the thumb. It is in the key of A Major and is a very nice ballad to add to your repertoire. This tune was recorded on his "Fingers In Flight" album and demonstrates his brilliant tender ballad compositional ability.
