For some reason I could not remove the first video so I removed it from YouTube so it doesn't play.
The new video is the one under the old one and it will play for you.
Remastered the audio and added additional vocal at choruses:

Topic: Under Starry Skies - Adaptation of a Jack Dingler song. (1 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Jack Dingler (aka Weaseldog2001 on YouTube) wrote a beautiful song here and I was very touched by it. With Jack's kind permission he allowed me to change some lyrics and add a chorus. I also changed the musical arrangement around as well. Thank You to Jack for encouraging me to do his song my own way.

Topic: My take on "Everybody's Talkin'" (aka the Midnight Cowboy movie song) (0 replies, posted in Acoustic)
My cover doesn't really follow the original or Nilsson's famous cover.
I've always liked the way Stephen Stills performed it on his Stills Live
album so I would say that perhaps mine is more inspired by his version.
Here's some Wikipedia info on the song:
"Everybody's Talkin'" is a folk rock song released by Fred Neil in 1966
that became a global success for Harry Nilsson in 1969, reaching #2 and #6
on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart and Pop Singles chart respectively
and winning a Grammy after it was featured on the soundtrack for the
film Midnight Cowboy. The song, which describes the speaker's desire to
retreat from other people to the ocean, is among the most famous works
of both artists. It has become a standard, covered by many notable artists.

Hey All1Song.
Just watched/listened to "Where Is Your Soul." Good stuff, your playing and singing are spot on.
One thing intended to help - your Mic placement could be improved. We all have to look at the fretboard from time to time to ensure we aren't going to play a bum note on a tricky change.
If the Mic was placed lower pointing up at the join between neck and guitar, it would be ideally situated for vox without having to look away from guitar.
I hope this is taken as a helpful suggestion rather than a crit because the overall quality (apart from the vox going quiet/loud/quiet (esp' near the beginning)) is broadcast.
Good on yer!
Thanks! Appreciate that you listened and appreciate the helpful feedback!

Wow, that's some amazing mic you got there! I've got decent mics yet unless I'm 2 inches or closer to the mic my vocals are dead silent. And your mic picks up the guitar, your vocals, and an echo of some sort on your vocal. I gotta get me one of those mics. What brand of mic are you using ? Thanks in advance for sharing, if you don't wanna give away your secret source I'll totally understand as well. Have a great evening!
Peace and Guitars,

No problem! It's actually a cheap Sony ECM-MS907 stereo digital recording mic designed for recording live music to a DAT recorder and it comes with a cord and stereo mini jack built in.
For this video the mic is pluggged straight into the aux mic input on my Sony camcorder.
I extracted the audio from the video and overdubbed several layers of vocals.
Singing each one separately. No computer effects.

Topic: Learn how to Play "Can't Find My Way Home" the Blind Faith classic (0 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Blind Faith was a short lived British supergroup with Steve Winwood, Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker and Rick Grech. They only put out one self titled album in 1969 and this was one of the hits from that album.
Just corrected the chords for this song and posted a video there playing the song using those chords.
It is geared toward a simplified solo acoustic rendition. The original features both Winwood and Clapton on acoustics.
Hope this helps if you want to learn this beautiful song.

This is our second collaboration on a Buffalo Springfield song. This song can be found on their first self titled album. The song was written by Neil Young and sung by Richie Furay on the album. I saw Young do this solo acoustic at a Bridge School concert some years back and decided to try a solo acoustic cover. I have the solo version posted on my other channel.

Main acoustic and Lead Vocal: Gil

First song I ever wrote way back in 1977.
This version was recorded last year and audio mastering was done by my friends Shuie and Sonya (a husbamd and wife musician duo in England).
I think they did a great job on the final mix.
