Members Stackabones Posted October 9, 2011 Author Members Share Posted October 9, 2011 Absentee Postings Absentee Post from: FussenKuhTitle: Black Gives Way To Blue Credits: Alice in Chains Click to Listen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcDHOhK0-ZY FussenKuh Comments: I've decided to dip back into the world of Alice in Chains for this VOM. Here's the title track of AiC's most recent album and, in my opinion, one of the best tracks on said album. It's basically a tribute to the band's late lead singer; the band's way of mourning the loss while starting a new chapter in the band's story. On a personal note, this video marks my first attempts at recording myself playing slide guitar... even if it's only a few seconds worth of slide. We'll see if I can get anything more complicated recorded in the future. Besides the slide, there are a few more guitar parts that make up the tune. Each one was recorded in a single take... so, they're kinda, sorta, VOM1T ;-) For the vocals, a fellow YouTuber, Kevin Wright, has stepped up to the plate again to lend his talents to the song. Here's hoping you all enjoy it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played on my Guild with a mandolin backup track. I am lucky I got this out with as bad as my computer is working lately!Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Michael Martin Posted October 9, 2011 Members Share Posted October 9, 2011 Sorry to repeat myself--I posted a solo version of this song on VOM early in 2010 shortly after I wrote it. It's evolved a bit since then, and the song has become the set-closer for my duo--here's a recording we did a couple of months ago. It's true to the VOM1T ethos on the acoustic guitar, mando and vocals tracks, but I did add rhythm with a tambo and an unplugged Strat strum track. http://www.box.net/shared/2199ji72ac Roadkill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members garthman Posted October 9, 2011 Members Share Posted October 9, 2011 Forever Young. The old Dylan classic. Played on my 12 string strummed with the side of my thumb. One take with Audacity and my little computer microphone. http://www.box.net/shared/6dhyhgbcnacuqy4kg9d1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sir Cecil Figg Posted October 9, 2011 Members Share Posted October 9, 2011 Not finished. I don't like my vocal. Never do. There are still solos to add & a new singer. It's a song from a stageplay. I think it's the best thing I've ever done, actually. Sneak peek. I won't leave it up long. A Table for Two, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TSMusic Posted October 9, 2011 Members Share Posted October 9, 2011 Greetings. This months submission is a song I wrote a few years back and was on my first CD. Kind of a bouncy tune without much in the way of fireworks. Title is "Walking Around" Tony [video=youtube;cq1UZvuHMNQ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frets99 Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Not much on vocals here but the Epi EJ200 come out quite loverly! [video=youtube;7lB6Ey2b0Ks] Remind Me - Brad Paisley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kujozilla Posted October 9, 2011 Members Share Posted October 9, 2011 I'm not religious, but I was feeling sick, this song is easy to play, and I like it. Forgive the singing/playing, and how late this entry is. Jesus Savior Pilot Thee (Horrible) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BLUtunes Posted October 10, 2011 Members Share Posted October 10, 2011 Nice work people! Enjoyed listening to the music! Stack - Fascinating acoustic arrangement of a song that I wouldn't have believed would have translated well to acoustic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fastblueheeler Posted October 10, 2011 Members Share Posted October 10, 2011 "Wicked Twisted Road" by Reckless Kelly. I ran across this song by accident and really liked it. It turned out to be a great Jam song, three chords, easy to play and lots of room for mandolin, fiddle, banjo and even harmonica breaks. Played on my Epi Masterbilt 12 fret. Thanks for listening. http://www.box.net/shared/57zs4zfemp8djtaug9v6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members FussenKuh Posted October 10, 2011 Members Share Posted October 10, 2011 Thanks to everyone who gave my submission a listen this month! While it kinda looks like the VOM was a bit light on participants this time around, it certainly didn't suffer from lack of talent Stack: Even if I don't recognize what you're playing, it's always a joy to listen to you play. More than anything, it always sounds like your having fun Starrshine: Another one I'm not familiar with I think the guitar and mando work mixed into something beautiful sounding. Great job! Michael: Great, now you're gonna make me go dig through the VOM archives hunting for the solo rendition again... Lucky for me, Ohioarrow's archiving efforts ought to make that an easy task. As for this rendition, I think it sounds fantastic! Much like Starrshine's effort, I love the mix of mando and guitar. Unfortunately, I had to really strain to hear the Washing Machine in the mix; I think it needs a more prominent role ;-) garthman: It's amazing how good something can sound recorded with a free piece of software and an inexpensive mic! Great work garth! hypcollector: Alrighty, I'm not sure if I'm listening to an original or a cover here Mr. Hyp. With the lyrics and chords called out, I'm guessing original? Whatever the case may be, I though you played/sung it quite beautifully. BlackHatHunter: Well played, sir! I love the sound of that Uke Sir Cecil Figg: I have to say, this is probably the last piece of music I was expecting to hear at the VOM today. And, by no means do I mean that in any sort of negative way! This is exactly what I think is so unique about this VOM project; everyone and everything is welcome which exposes my ears to all sorts of cool new music TSMusic: I always enjoy listening to your energetic instrumentals! This tune is no exception Frets99: I'd upgrade to your vocals over what I typically spew out any day And, yes, that Epi sounds lovely. On a side note, what video editing software are you using? kujozilla: I can't hear anything that's begging for forgiveness in this tune, Mr. Kujo. Well played fastblueheeler: Can't say I'm familiar with the tune, but, I love the sound of that Masterbilt and harmonica sixgunner455: FAIL I couldn't get the vom hosting site to load the tune. I'm going to have to check back later... Benzem: I love the raw nature of this song. You played and sang quite well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
