Usual one take with my computer mike via Audacity. Played on my Crafter and sorry for the odd string buzz - cold hands, brrrr! Absentee Post from: tbryson Title: Willows Weeping Credits: Ted J Bryson Click to Listen http://soundclick.com/share?songid=7313771 tbryson Comments: One take on the guitar and 2 takes for the vocal then mixed with a few effects to make me sound better. I wrote this for music someone on HC wrote and was given a title only. I think he wants to use the lyrics on another piece of music instead so I wrote this melody to go with the lyrics for now...His music is most likely much better...IDK what genre you would call this...maybe cheesy 60's pop. verse D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members FussenKuh Posted February 8, 2009 Members Share Posted February 8, 2009 ------------------------------------------------------------------------Title: SlitherCredits: Velvet RevolverLink: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ A year or so ago, I released an abridged version of Velvet Revolver's "Slither" on YouTube. People seemed to like the rendition except for the fact that I played the main riff slightly differently than the album. Well, since I enjoy playing the song, I've rerecorded a new, more complete, version of "Slither" for this month's VOM submission. This version was recorded on my Epiphone Masterbilt AJ-500M tuned down a half step. [YOUTUBE]nPiC_JRKUvU[/YOUTUBE] The main rhythm was recorded in one take with a 2nd guitar part layered over it. As always, the song has its share of flaws, but in the spirit of VOM1T, I've decided to leave the recording as it is. Here's hoping you enjoy it! -Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Stackabones Posted February 8, 2009 Author Members Share Posted February 8, 2009 It looks like there may be a brief blackout at Harmony Central tonight. It's scheduled to start an hour after the beginning of VOM. VOM begins 12:00 AM Central Time (10:00 PM Pacific Time). Perhaps it'll only be a two-hour blackout (as advertised) and we'll be back up before you've had your morning cup of coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members g6120 Posted February 8, 2009 Members Share Posted February 8, 2009 I was going to post a Uke thing but recorded this song last night.This is a collaboration with lyricist HC Holbert (our second).I picked up my old Guild D-35SB and was playing around and decided to try dropping top and bottom string to D. This is what came out after one pass with the microphone on. I added the very last verse: [YOUTUBE]D9hOLZsVNo8&ap=%2526fmt%3D18[/YOUTUBE] In case the stereo embed does not work for some: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9hOLZsVNo8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Michael Martin Posted February 8, 2009 Members Share Posted February 8, 2009 So "romantic" is the theme. That suits the hell outta me, fer dam sure! This is a song I wrote about one of god's special people. Not a love interest on my part, just a beautiful and dear friend who lives far away now and whom I miss hugely. The song is titled "Something About Amy". I submit the picture that inspired the second verse ("Picture/on my screen...") http://www.box.net/shared/j564d8malt Well, OK, it won't display. Great. Click to see it. Here's the song (if all goes well, you can just play it OR download): http://www.box.net/shared/4jkb0yauk7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Stackabones Posted February 8, 2009 Author Members Share Posted February 8, 2009 Home Cookin' Original tune. Scroll down on the linked page for the lyrics. Two-chord song, A & E! All four tracks are one-take on my Zoom H4: Track 1, vox and gutbox git Track 2, harmony vox Track 3, rubbing hands percussion Track 4, lead guitar (Gitane D500) The tempo increase during and after the second verse, as well as other features, marks this recording as an authentic VOM1T. EDIT: Due to the Soundclick blackout, I put together a simple youtube vid of one image -- now you can hear the tune! 4CDxPL0ZQ8E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sangemon Posted February 8, 2009 Members Share Posted February 8, 2009 This is "Hey There Delilah" by The Plain White Tees. I played this on my Martin 00-18 Custom, and recorded it with a single AKG Perception 220 Large Diameter Condenser > Apogee Duet > Logic Express. I think I over-EQ'd the track a bit, and although my guitar playing keeps improving, my singing, alas, does not. But I refuse to be embarrassed by it. I got a little lost in the middle and missed a beat or two, and I mixed up the lyrics in the last verse, but otherwise I'm pretty happy with this for 1 take considering that I first picked up a guitar at the end of March 2008. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=843097&songID=7310434 Oh, and by the way, although I didn't sing them, I think these alternate lyrics are funny as hell: Hey Sarah Palin, do you tell them in WasillaThat 4,000 years ago we roamed the planet with GodzillaIs it trueI am so {censored}ing scared of youAs number 2 Hey Sarah Palin, I think Alaska Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jimmy Chaos Posted February 8, 2009 Members Share Posted February 8, 2009 Original love song this month, it's kinda lo-fi... as it was recorded using my MacBook's internal mic. (which is rubbish) I wrote another love song just last night, I was thinking of recording that this morning, but I have a hangover and it needs a bit more work. This is Falling Through Gravity.

Members riffmeister Posted February 8, 2009 Members Share Posted February 8, 2009 "Scherzino Mexicano" by Manuel Ponce (1882-1948; read about his biography on Wikipedia; he was a contemporary of and wrote for Andres Segovia). This is a short, melodic piece with interesting shifts between duple and triple meter. And the middle section is constructed in hemiola form (3 beats on 2 beats) with the melody being in quarter note triplets and the bass line descending chromatically in quarter notes. Played on a beautiful Aaron Green classical guitar, spruce top with Madagascar rosewood back & sides. (also for sale, btw) http://media.putfile.com/XXX-94 .

Members Brokepick Posted February 8, 2009 Members Share Posted February 8, 2009 This past year, I've been trying to move in some new musical directions from my dismal history as a wannabe musician. The way I've been playing lately, I wondered if I would ever be able to play anything I wasn't ashamed of. I recorded this last night, and I really did it in one take, well actually two (I overdubbed a rhythm track onto it). It's rough, and I really screwed up the ending, but at least I did get a recording that's recognizable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bigald18 Posted February 8, 2009 Members Share Posted February 8, 2009 Song Title: Deep River Blues Writer: Traditional, but popularized by Doc Watson http://www.akmusicvideo.com/audio/Deep_River_Blues Well, folks, by popular request I'm entering this month's VOM. Playing my new Yamaha LJ6 with Martin SP4100 Phosphor Bronze strings, metal fingerpicks and plastic thumb pick. All National brand picks. Put a bone saddle in to replace plastic. Recorded using Sequel 2, and an old Audio Technica mic into an M-Audio sound card. This is my first VOM, can't sing worth a darn in my opinion, playing only so-so, but for me it's all in fun, anyway. It's nice to participate. BigAl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members frankiej Posted February 8, 2009 Members Share Posted February 8, 2009 Doesn't have a title. It's just a short improv solo I did before I left for college. The backing track/drums sound a bit weak for some reason. sounds a lot better in person for sure. But ya, take it for what its worth...overall I like it:) [YOUTUBE]nA9yjbEFsmc[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
