SIDE CHALLENGE - Let´s COVER some [24]

Rules? No rules! We pick a song and everybody is invited to share his version. Songs shall be called every week, if you don´t manage to nail your version within the week - entrances are ALWAYS welcome. No winners, no losers, just fun and personal progress, a bit bringing in the harvest of the hard work we all do here every week by converting to own produced music, and (for me very important) learning (easy versions) of songs to be able to play them anytime when a guitar is in the room - and that shall be a part of thinking on the next song selection maybe.

So - as we had Beatles - And i Love Her last week  JUST GREAT, yay!!!! Everyone who has not finished his cover - just post whenever ready in the running week (yes, this one) so we all will recognise it.

This week THE HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN 

Scores for this week!! 🤩🤩

New week is up!!

@ Mikson  😞 I was hoping you would play it again

I played this a few times because I was trying to beat @ loudly  score (95% - great score by the way) and what I posted is the best I managed to achieve, I always lost too many notes in the solo and I had enough...

I'm too late, but I played, so I'll post 🙂

Hah!! Cover time

Consider that recording a street-musician performance.... i knew i had only an hour for all and i wanted to upload something today - so i loaded the chords in front of me and decided to not use any aid like backing tracks or artificial drums but to to all on my own and go first takes 🙂
Recorded a bassline first (no metronome), just having the bass being played on screen and watching the tab.
Then first take on a rhythm guitar - i love that acoustic of mine yeah... it´s funny to play with a basist that is not steady cause this idiot is refusing to use a metronome - that´s where the streetmusician feel originates heavily.
First take on a arpeggio guitar and dumped that instantly 🙂
First take on solo 1
First take on the vocals (sorry)
ending solo first take - as i was ultrafast redid that one 2,3 times wishing i had sticked to the 1st take....
1st take on the artwork
Damn fun and i know to play a new song
I am looking forward to spend a whole day someday on a upcoming one.

Rod.

Here is my version. Didn't know how to do the arpegios, so it's a bit clumsy.

Maybe have to find another way to do this if I get another copyright strike 😞
