Members FussenKuh Posted August 9, 2009 Members Share Posted August 9, 2009 It's hard to believe another month has already passed. Here's hoping for another grand VOM! I know I'm certainly looking forward to listening to everyone Title: Master Of Puppets - Acoustic SoloOriginally By: MetallicaThis interlude from the normally driving riffs of Metallica's Master of Puppets has always been one of my favorite parts of the whole Master of Puppets album. As such, I felt inspired to figure out how to play it acoustically. I've rearranged the solo for play on my acoustic guitar and, to fit my abilities, it's been a bit simplified. However, it's not quite VOM1T. To make it sound a bit more full, there's actually two guitar tracks layered together in my rendition. Each of those was recorded in one take.[YOUTUBE]fgd9UJe7ioY[/YOUTUBE]As always, it isn't perfect, but I had fun making it. Any and all feedback (good, bad, or ugly) is always appreciated. Thanks for watching!Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Stackabones Posted August 9, 2009 Author Members Share Posted August 9, 2009 Absentee Postings Absentee Post from: rhancoxTitle: It Won't Be Like This For Long Credits: Darius Rucker Click to Listen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcclAc7E6sI rhancox Comments: I wanted to do this song two VOMs ago, for Father's Day, but I couldn't get around to recording. Good thing because I played it at an open mic two days later and didn't do it well at all. So I put in some hard work and here is the payoff.I learned this song for my daughter and coincidentally, it was her birthday this past week, so it all worked out in the end. Absentee Post from: garthmanTitle: I Want YouCredits: Bob Bylan Click to Listenhttp://www.box.net/shared/qkvd0nas2k garthman Comments: A garthmanized version of 'I Want You'. Actually recorded a couple of months ago - been busy this week and I'm going to the Brecon Jazz Festival this weekend - but this is the way I do the song and, of course, the usual one take with computer microphone and Audacity. Absentee Post from: jandrewTitle: Harvest MoonCredits: Bedlam Click to Listenhttp://www.siaris.net/music/harvestmoon.mp3 jandrew Comments: With family in from out of town this weekend, I humbly submit, in absentia, my rendition of Bedlam's 'Harvest Moon' (I only know this song from the 'resevoir dogs' soundtrack).As usual, just me and my L-07 on the couch with the H2 on the coffee table -- post-amplified and mp3-encoded via audacity.cheers,andrew Absentee Post from: C70manTitle: SouvenirsCredits: John Prine (Steve Goodman) Click to Listenhttp://c70man.xanga.com/audio/30b963633387/ C70man Comments: I wasn't going to submit this week, the finger is still healing...but I said, what the hell, what's a little pain....Steve Goodman and John Prine were best of friends and shared a lot of music. Souvenirs is one of those songs that just doesn't sound right to me without both of them performing it together. I saw both of these guys perform it together and individually on more than one occasion. So here's my take, with a little of both of them. NO, I didn't capo on the 5th fret as they did. Just standard tuning and a little finger picking. Please forgive the mistakes...finger still hurts like hell.

I intended to do it as a tribute, but I ended up doing Cat Steven's 'Father and Son' instead which IMO seemed to fit better anyway. Then over the course of the past couple of months as I tried to learn it the lyrics sort of hit home to me. I was told that my own father (who I never got to know) had musical abilities as do various members of both sides of my family. Now as I see my younger son (who's age 2 as I write this) begin to experiment with my guitars and sing I wonder if there's any truth to music being in the blood or if we all just emulate our earliest inspirations? I would have attempted this song back in June but it's not an easy one to play and sing at the same time. Even now I have trouble so this take is actually a compilation. The guitar track was recorded in one take and the vocals were overdubbed after their second take. I also recorded it late at night while trying not to wake everybody in the house up, so to me it could have come out better on the performance side. It ain't perfect but IMO it's close enough to the VOM1T principle to share here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bigald18 Posted August 9, 2009 Members Share Posted August 9, 2009 I wasn't gonna be here but I am. Testing my new usb interface for my laptop. I chose to do a very shortened version of the traditional song John Henry. There are so many variations of this songs lyrics it's hard to believe. The arrangement is my own. I am playing on my homemade handmade Martin D18 copy that is 14 or 15 years old. It was the first guitar I ever made. The finish looks terrible but it sounds great. I think I have GHS Bright Bronze Light strings on it that are about six months old and pretty dead.http://soundclick.com/share?songid=7938360 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Stackabones Posted August 9, 2009 Author Members Share Posted August 9, 2009 Do I Love My Baby?Original tune. That's me on electric and vox, Paul Gorman (hypcollector) on acoustic, Mark Ball on bass. We recorded this little session a week or so ago at Paul's Foyer Studio. I can't recall if this was the first or second take. I submitted this tune with just me and a gutbox way back at the 1st VOM.This is the VOM debut of pg stackabones.

Members chriscarnucci Posted August 9, 2009 Members Share Posted August 9, 2009 This is my first submission to VOM, so I hope I get this right. This is an original song I wrote. I've been writing for a quite a while now and I really enjoy it. I'm also just beginning to try the Youtube thing. I recorded this with a webcam I just bought and my Alvarez AJ60SC. I know it's rough, but I'm just having fun...not trying to be the next James Cameron! Anyway hope you all like it, and I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone here. And Hi to Stackabones....I've jammed with you at the Texas guitar club jams a few times.Here are the words...[ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members g6120 Posted August 9, 2009 Members Share Posted August 9, 2009 I was a young kid of 17 when I wrote this one. My first real song. I have lyrics dating back earlier but none with music. I always played in standard tuning with no harmonica and in 1983 I came up with this harmonica part. My friends and family love this song but I shelved it for decades.For this rendition (truly one take since this song is a part of my being) I tried capo on 4th fret with I think an E harmonica. I listened to a 1983 recording to remind myself of the harmonica part and just went from there. Chorus sounded sparse so I took the time to dub in some harmony vocals afterward. The idea I had back then was an older me looking back on all the great songs that shaped us as we grew up. Now here I am, the older me singing this song. That's what they call paying it forward: http://tinyurl.com/l8damj . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members g6120 Posted August 9, 2009 Members Share Posted August 9, 2009 FussenKuh: That's one hel of a sweet tone on that guitar and the layering was the right call. Excellent!! Michael Martin: Love your song but this lyric in particular "Yes I am practiced at the art Of building up the templeAnd then tearing it apartStone by stone/write a poemIn the ruins"BRILLIANT!! Rhancox: Great one Rob! Didn't know the song but like the sentiment!! Comment from your daughter is priceless!! Garthman: WOW, you sound like Dylan but also like yourself at the same time!! Great arrangement. Really enjoyed your take on this classic! Jandrew: Must admit when I saw the title I thought it was the Neil Young song. This is a great song and your playing and singing were superb! C70man: Very skillful rendition!! Mistakes? What mistakes? Bravo! Pschaafs: Nice rendition! Liked the overdubbed vocal on this! RogueGnome: Didn't recognize thew title but I have heard this before! Very nice feel to your rendition!! Bigald18: Great one! Enjoyed listening! Galabar: Bravo! Sounded like you were playing in the same room! (I listen through a real stereo). Stackabones: Sounds ready fro your CD! Great wrok! Nice groove and like your leads! Guitarist21: I remember this one! Great cover!! You rocked it! Oldskool Texas: Very cool!! Sounds awesome!! Tbryson: That had a real Jimmy Buffet feel to it. Nice work! If you're feeling in a rut it happens to all of us I think. It'll pass. Keep on playing! I actually stopped playing for 16 years and wished I hadn't now. Chriscarnucci: That was excellent! I liked the song and its message and your sining is great! You are right on key and give it the right feel!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members illinihoops Posted August 9, 2009 Members Share Posted August 9, 2009 Here is my VOM1T submission of a cover of a song off of Wilco's new album, it's not really acoustic originally so I made it my own while keeping it true. Enjoy!Recorded on iPhone with my trusty Yammie FG700S. One take, one track, imported into garage band clipped to size and uploaded to soundclick.

Members Okieslims Posted August 9, 2009 Members Share Posted August 9, 2009 Cocaine Blues - Johnny CashFun but does include some mistakeshttp://soundclick.com/share?songid=7934819 I wanted to do long black veil.. but my hand is cramping like hell from the finger picked bar chords. I think I'm pressing harder on the strings because I'm more conscious of each note than I would be if it was strummed.. So maybe next time on that one.

Members kwakatak Posted August 9, 2009 Members Share Posted August 9, 2009 I only got to listen to the first couple of entries but damn so far the first couple have set the bar pretty high: Fussenkuh - you're gettin' pretty good there. Nice acoustic adaptation. I thought it was Hudman there for a sec! Michael Martin - if that was scotch-soaked then I have to know what brand it was because I need something that mellows me out like that. Even if it is a re-take I could tell that you captured the essence of the moment. Great job recording that Tak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sangemon Posted August 9, 2009 Members Share Posted August 9, 2009 Here is my recording for this month. This morning I left New Yawk and went down to Texas (virtually, that is) and I recorded "Clay Pigeons", by Blaze Foley. This was recorded with my HD-35, and the K&K Pure Western Mini. The K&K was plugged into a Baggs PADI (settings flat) and then to Apogee Duet. I sang into an AKG Perception 220 LD condenser mic also to the Duet and from there to Logic Express, lowered the DI 12 db, a bit of EQ, compression, and reverb, then out to you. I feel pretty good about this one, and I actually performed it at a real open mic last weekend at Nazfest. That was my first open mic, and my first musical performance of anything live before an audience ever, and it was pretty terrifying, but I got through the song and had a lot of fun. I hope you enjoy it and look forward to hearing everyone else's submissions. Thanks for listening.http://soundclick.com/share?songid=7941596 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bigald18 Posted August 9, 2009 Members Share Posted August 9, 2009 Everyone just sounds better and better each month. It must be those new bridge pins that's doing it. Listened to everyone so far and the caliber of the performances is wonderful. My only criticism in general for the folk players is that everything starts to sound the same when you're listening to folk music. People need to put more of themselves into the arrangements instrumentally. Be creative! The same strum or picking pattern in every song gets boring.BigAl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sangemon Posted August 9, 2009 Members Share Posted August 9, 2009 Fussenkuh: Cool tune! That Epi sounds great, and I like whatever effect you have on it. Michael Martin: Nice song and the production is wonderful. I like your voice. Rob H: Great song, and performed flawlessly. Good job. The guitar sounds great too. Nice, deep and full. Garthman: That Crafter sounds real good, and I like your take on that old Dylan classic. jandrew: Nice clean recording, and your guitar sounds real nice. I'm gonna have to look into an H2. I don't remember that song, but it's a good one. Nicely done! That's all I have time for right now. More later. Thanks for sharing these, you all sound great.
