Members Stackabones Posted January 10, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 10, 2010 Absentee Postings Absentee Post from: tbrysonTitle: I should have known better Credits: Beatles Click to Listen http://soundclick.com/share?songid=8574646 tbryson Comments: OK...another in the Beatles travels of yesteryear. I have a cold so anyway I did this this morning Wed the 6th. One guitar track played all the way through, one lead vocal sung all the way through, one harmony vocal all the way through, one simple lead which is the first lead ever performed by these hands! Close as I could get it. Not a VOM1T but fun. Absentee Post from: kwakatakTitle: Let It SnowCredits: Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne Click to Listen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUt_l_3K5wg kwakatak Comments: It's been snowing for a week and the weatherman says it'll snow for another week so this holdover from the holidays seemed appropriate. Absentee Post from: garthmanTitle: The Gypsy's WifeCredits: Leonard Cohen Click to Listen http://vom.infocusreviews.com/index.php?p=play&id=garthman/The_Gypsys_Wife.mp3 garthman Comments: It's been a while since I did a Leonard Cohen song so here is my version of 'The Gypsy's Wife' which appeared on the 1979 album 'Recent Songs' (one of Cohen's best albums IMO). Played on my nylon string dreadnought. One take with my computer mike via Audacity. PS. If you don't already have it, go and buy the DVD 'Live In London' recorded at the O2 arena during his 2008 tour. Absentee Post from: FussenKuhTitle: It's AlrightCredits: Black Sabbath Click to Listen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AqUrrARXgg FussenKuh Comments: Ahhhh... the first VOM of 2010. I can't wait to check out everyone's tunes. As for my entry this month, truth be told, I wouldn't have known that this song existed if it wasn't for the fact that it was frequently played by Axl Rose during Guns 'n Roses concerts as an intro to November Rain. The song is completely piano driven. However, I neither have a piano nor can I play the piano. So, I decided to record an acoustic guitar version instead... complete with some less-than-impressive vocals. My initial goal was to create a one-take rendition. However, I couldn't get my mic to play nicely with both my voice and guitar. So, I ended up having to record guitar and vocals separately. As always, it ain't perfect... but, at least it's short Any feedback (good, bad or ugly) is always appreciated. I hope someone enjoys it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bobc Posted January 10, 2010 Members Share Posted January 10, 2010 This is an original titled: I Miss You It's a poem that my sister wrote back when she was a teenager. She asked me to turn it into a song for her, and this is how it came out. I just got finished recording it using my new American Standard Strat through my Digitech RP150 effects pedal and into my fishman SoloAmp. The output of the SoloAmp is going into the mic in on my camcorder so I could get better sound. I know it's not acoustic guitar, but I hope you like it still.

Members Stackabones Posted January 10, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 10, 2010 Another absentee http://kiwi6.com/uploads/hotlink?id=6jru8r1x.It's a praise/worship song titled "Let's All Praise the Lord," based on Psalm 150. I had the melody and chorus for quite a while before I figured out what to do about the verses. It's basically a two chord wonder, D and G, with variations of those two chords.

Members fatback Posted January 10, 2010 Members Share Posted January 10, 2010 http://vom.infocusreviews.com/index.php?p=play&id=fatback/West_Coast_Buckdancer_2010_Jan_9.mp3 So I changed my mind and decided to record something anyway. Still attempting to change music genres I bought myself a Mel Bay music book on Friday (Best Traditional tunes) and from it put together a version on Buckdancers Choice (the first part anyway) this being short I added on Westcoast blues by Blind Blake to create a melody (I mean medley). So here we have Westcoast Buckdancers. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fatback Posted January 10, 2010 Members Share Posted January 10, 2010 Tbyson - I loved the break you did in the middle. You have inspired me to try a beatles number of my own. Good job. I had a go with the harmonica during that unfortunately I think I was in the wrong key. Are you plundering the Complete Beatles Song book of some such publication. If you are, could you do me a favour and bang across the chords for Her Majesty please. I think that little ditty could suit my voice and playing style. If you can't no worries I'll just have to get off my backside and do it for myself. Anyway good start to vom this month. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fatback Posted January 10, 2010 Members Share Posted January 10, 2010 Kwak I love that song and your rendition of it. However going for the ahhhhhh factor is little unfair. I'll have to get my little one (well eight year old) to sing if that carries on. (She's still cute - the other two not quite so). Any way good job. Its snowing here at the moment.

Members Fendouglas Posted January 10, 2010 Members Share Posted January 10, 2010 Well, here goes! This is one of mine from way back (but seldom played - for reasons given elsewhere). The melody is nowhere near as good as the one that 'Melodious/Pitar' wrote for it - but I haven't learned that yet - Melodeous' (excellent) version was, however, posted on HCAF a month or so a go (by Krash). I thought is might be a good starter for my VOM1T debut. Recorded, this morning (after celebrating the beloved's birthday until late last night), using a Tascam US122L; Simultaneous Guitar (Ibanez LE300) & Vocal using sEX1 Mic; mixed using Krystal Audio Engine and converted to MP3 format using Audacity. http://www.box.net/shared/a5ypmvpn2r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
