Members FussenKuh Posted July 13, 2008 Members Share Posted July 13, 2008 Woo Hoo! another VOM is upon us I can't wait to hear everyone's submissions this time around.As for myself, I've decided to contribute another original tune this month simply called "Spanish Influences". It was recorded a couple weeks ago and, in all reality, I doubt this would be considered any form of real Spanish guitar playing. But, regardless of whether it is or not, when I play it, that's what I'm reminded of... and, since it's mine, I get to name it I recorded the rhythm then tracked the solo over it... each in one take using my trusty Masterbilt AJ-500M, a cheap webcam and free 10+ year old Gateway PC mic.[YOUTUBE]UvYIMLzCP1c[/YOUTUBE]Hope someone enjoys it!

Members kwakatak Posted July 13, 2008 Members Share Posted July 13, 2008 http://media.putfile.com/GEM1 It's not finished or polished but here it is. It's a work in progress I call "Green Eyed Monster" where I try to get a little jazzy. Unfortunately being a "jazz" piece it's not too structured - and I wish I could say that I did it deliberately. BTW, the inspiration comes from my old friend Dirk who is a Philly-area jazz musician who just got signed. Kudos to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kwakatak Posted July 13, 2008 Members Share Posted July 13, 2008 I just gave yours a listen FussenKuh. Good stuff. I could play against that progression for hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members g6120 Posted July 13, 2008 Members Share Posted July 13, 2008 Well you can't get any more one take than this because I decided to learn this song as I was recording (what you can't see is the chord/lyric sheet out of camera range and good thing I knew the feel of the song because I only had to glance at it ocassionally!) I had many flase starts and stayed up for hours trying to get one good take and when I did I quit. I was spent...exhausted after this. I later added the background vocals (4 layers overdubbed and lemme tell you I almost ran out of breath on those!). Haven't played the song since! Vocal and playing are rough but I'm OK with that because I just learned it. Here's some info about 10cc and the song: 10cc were always bound to make it. All members were 60s veterans, with Graham Gouldman already having written a string of hits for bands as diverse as the Yardbirds and Herman's Hermits. 1975's album The Original Soundtrack broke the mould - it contained "I'm Not In Love". A gorgeously crafted arrangement that floated beneath the mock cynicism of the lyrics. Multi-layered backing vocals gave the whole thing an other-worldly quality that was only compounded by the extraordinary middle eight with its whispered "big boys don't cry" motif. It became a #1 that appealed both to the fans that wanted grown up pop and to people who wanted a slow dance at the end of the disco.

Your stuff is always amazing! The only nitpick I have is that I felt the vocal needed to come froward in the mix but otherwise simply incredible!! Do you have a CD available?

Members recordingtrack1 Posted July 13, 2008 Members Share Posted July 13, 2008 Here's mine. It's for my dad. It's called "I Still can't Say Goodbye"http://media.putfile.com/Just-Cant-Say-Goodbye It's by R. Binn and J. Moore and originally performed by Chet Atkins, BTW, for those of you who have never heard it before. This is my version, warts and all.

Members Scodiddly Posted July 13, 2008 Members Share Posted July 13, 2008 No particular reason for this one, I just like the song and came up with this bad Tom Waits version. "Secret Agent Man", by Johnny Rivers.http://www.scotthelmke.com/VOM1T-SecretAgentMan.mp3 Sorry about the vocal-heavy mix, sorry again about the vocals. This really was first take.

Members happy-man Posted July 13, 2008 Members Share Posted July 13, 2008 Rich Mullins song I learned last week. I was actually just doing a sound check, and hadn't decided if I was going to capo it or not, but I went through the whole song. So even though there are foibles, in the spirit of VOM1T, here it is. Taylor 110 with homemade mic into laptop mic input.http://www.pkfamily.com/users/solson/foo/holdmejesusVOM1T.mp3 Scott O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FussenKuh Posted July 13, 2008 Members Share Posted July 13, 2008 Already a great turnout for not even being 10am (Eastern) yet kwakatak: Wow! You were worried about posting that tune to share?!? I wouldn't hesitate to post something like that. Well played! And, congrats to your friend Dirk! g6120: Great job Your entry is a perfect example as to why I love these VOMs. I always get exposed to some great songs/artists that I've never heard of before. mrmoe: Great stuff as usual! I'm always impressed/inspired by the clean and crisp sound of your playing. riffmeister: I love your rendition of this tune I wish I could fingerpick like that! recordingtrack1: That's a very nice tribute to your dad. Thanks for sharing. It sounds great. Scodiddly: That's a nice rendition of a cool song you have there. In my opinion, there's no reason to be apologizing for those vocals. happy-man: Very soulful tune and very well played. I don't think my ears heard any of those "foibles" you mentioned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm envious of your musicianship and the lyrics. FWIW your vocals cut right through on my laptop's tinny, semi-blown speaker (damn you Dell, you said you fixed it! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
