OK. I take my words back. Sorry RS. My fault.

I think I found the reason of wrong detection around the 12th frets and higher. I rebuilt the bridge configuration for 3-6th strings. 0 and 12th frets sound closer to note then before. Not perfect but ok.

Thx @ Mikson !!! Nadszedł czas, aby przyjrzeć się Mistrzowi Bowie bliżej. Trochę się spóźniłam, bo zatrudniłam piosenkarkę - moją cudowną córkę, żeby mnie wspierała. Człowieku, ona jest takim profesjonalistą - jej sesja nagraniowa trwa zaledwie 40 minut, a ona nigdy nie zrobiła czegoś takiego. Dziękuję kochanie!!!! Co zrobiliśmy?
Chciałem zrobić małą wersję, ponieważ ta piosenka jest tak duża. Zrobiłem więc akustyczne odtwarzanie uchwycone za pomocą 2 mikrofonów. Potem zrobiłem partie solowe, poczułem je i... Znowu czuję, że to smutna piosenka, oczywiście niepokojący koniec.
Śpiewał razem z nim i ..... Potem zobaczyłem, jak moja córka zabija go absolutnie na koncercie kończącym semestr w swojej szkole muzycznej, gdzie ma pewien trening wokalny, więc usunąłem moją ścieżkę wokalną i poszedłem na negocjacje, które poszły bardzo dobrze, biorąc pod uwagę umysł 13-latka. Dzisiaj znaleźliśmy trochę czasu na nagranie wokalne.
Wrzuciłem wszystko do Reapera i trochę zmiksowałem i zmasterowałem, czego nauczyłem się w ciągu tygodnia.

Enjoy!

Rod.

Oh what a brilliantly arranged project! You really know how to combine multiple tracks and vocals which makes your covers sound so good. I'm just curious if you play all the guitar tracks by heart or do you have any tabs displayed while playing?

Thx @ Mikson !!! It was time to give Master Bowie a closer look. I´m a bit late here cause i hired a singer - my wonderfiul daughter to support me. Man she´s such a pro - her recording session hardly 40mins, and she never did anything like that. Thank you my love!!!! What did we do?
I wanted to do a small version as that song is sooooooooooooo big. So i did a acoustic playthrough captured with 2 mics. Then i did the soloparts i felt them and ... again as i feel it´s a sad song a disturbing finish of course.
Sang along and ..... then saw my daughter killing it absolutely at the semester-ending concert of her music-school where she has some vocal coaching, so deleted my vocaltrack and went negotiating which went extremely well taking into acount the mind of a 13 yo. Today we found some time to the vocal recording.
I threw all into Reaper and did some mixing and mastering i learned over the week.

Enjoy!

Rod.

Another great cover, major Rod! Thank you both for it!

So now that the week is over, a bit of some trivia and info on the Blue Stones song.

It is a 2 man band, one drummer and one guitarist/singer so the bass is technically made up to mimic part of his signal split to fill in that role live. Lead and rhythm has only very few different spot as there isn't major split in the recording as it is meant for a single guitarist anyway.

As for the guitar parts, the intro uses what is called "hybrid picking" by using the pick for the low string and finger picking for the high strings (since holding a pick leaves 3 fingers free). An important part to play this is also to hold the whole chord shape. It's the usual barre chord as played for the rest of the song so no big surprise past the first playthrough.

They've also just released a new album last week called Metro which is worth a listen.
