Journey to my First Cover...

This is going to take some time because I've been really busy on other things the last year, and will be this year, and I don't even have the right recording equipment, yet.

 

Anyway, I thought it would be cool just to "blog" the experience.

 

I have chosen my song: Tom Jones - Green Green Grass of Home

 

I'm going to have to find me a good instrumental/backing vocal track.

 

I'll probably learn the (interesting :bangheadonwall::D) phrasing/timing that Tom Jones uses and stick with that.

 

But I ain't falling into that trap of trying to sound like Tom Jones!

 

Then I'll have to research and buy a whole bunch of equipment.

 

Stay tuned! I'll be practising, polishing and turning the raw stuff below into my first COVER... :D

O-kaaaay.....

 

...ignoring the usual trolls...

 

I got me a youtube video and had a listen, and compared it with my "in-memory" version!!!

 

I give myself 5 out of 10 for effort!

 

(I was probably singing a hybrid of a heap of different versions, which is fine for practising vocals, but not fine for karaoke or "covers").

 

Half of it is sort there, and god knows where the other half came from. So,.... work to do. It's as expected, as I usual carry edited and hybrid versions in my head. No problem.

 

I am off to make the real version "in-memory" when I find the time.

 

That will probably mean goodbye to how I have been singing it. (I may have to unlearn that, as I learn a real version). :(
