    i think this one is my favorite of the ones you made so far! Im always a sucker for 4 chord songs lol. Never would've imagined this song to be simplefied to that extent or without the main piano melody but it works! goes to show that a song with good lyrics and melody can carry itself.

    very nice work Rod and your daughter. (btw does she play gtr/ participate in rocksmith championship?)
     

    Thank you mister!

    Well - when i showed her the arrangement she was let´s say the opposite of happy - she went "argh, that´s slow.... ah, and are we into metal or what - that´s a ballad, Dad.... ah... and what´s that playing - even i can play like that, and when do i even start, i don´t wanna sing to that!" (exact words) 🙂 In the end i asked again.. she said: "Its not metal, but it´s no ballad at all, it´s good, it was fun" pfeew... the brilliance of that song kept me alive 😉

    Well - she had some guitar lessons in primary school and now from tome to time fires up Yousician, but no - she doesnt really play guitar, never tried RS.

  2. .... yay here we go.

    Well - my belief is that you cannot butcher a top song to death any easily and on the other hand you cannot bring a bad one to life - in other words you will not bring a Ricky Martin song to glory whatever you do and as we have one of the greatest written songs of all time on the table - any cover will bring the vibe.... So ... i wanted to make that the smallest version possible - acoustic guitar and voice only, i stripped it to a 4 chord song 🙂 - i swear, and not even the chord intervals are exact, only verse-chord, no pauses, no extras. I think i´m right.

    Ok. I see all I can do is open some popcorn and watch @ Satinuke  fight @ cacahuate51  in Lead. I admire @ Rodman  for trying so hard, but they're too good 👏 😄

    Yeah a good fight there and those brave men are beasts ... Surviving the solo any good is pure luck for me, it´s a tad too fast with the bends to keep control, i could have got lucky with one of my tries but wasn´t....  BUT... i just kept playing after my 25th SA attempt not caring about the score anymore for 90 more minutes because that really felt like playing guitar, pure pleasure. Yay - praise the championships.

  4. Also for my Coverpeople and everyone interrested in producing Music on PC/Mac

    There is a big big Music production bundle at humblebundle.com

    You get Plugins and Tools worth 2100€ for 35

    There is Sample Tank - almost any Instrument you can imagine - alone and in predefined Orchestras to play your MidiTrack

    TrackS6 - an easy to use mastering Plugin with a lot of presets

    And for us maybe most importantly - Amplitube and ToneX - 2 full guitar workstations with tons of Amps and effects to play your guitar over your PC or i think Mac also or get a great guitar tone in Reaper (or any other DAW)

    Just tested a bit - Guitar and Bass tones are supreme, tested instruments in that SampleTank thing - organs and strings and flutes and drums sound very good.

    Might be worth a shot.

    Rod.

    Fine fine, for the Rock n Roll! 😂

    I couldn't find a way to make the chorus not sound 💩 but I am over it!! Bear with me y'all

    I felt like I was guessing on the timing the whole time, rough!

     

    Sorry for the deeeeeeeeeeeeeeelay.... week was stuffed as ... no - i leave that to everyones imaginations.
    However hell yeah yeah - very strong cover - real intense and own interpretation!! I love it from the start .... hammer how the drums start it off and then the guitar that is doubled at the riff - heavy stuff!!! ... then the vocals come in and tell us to relax. listen and chill the fxxx - wild! In the chorus the tune fx on the vocals makes it leave the key there which creates a .. idk whats the right word ...  sinister maybe even eerie feeling - just great. And you know i put special attention to songends - you tighten it up like a bomb timer. Thats setting the bar!!!!!!
