Topic: Covers for my non FB Chordie friends

Recorded a couple the other day and put them up just on facebook.  Nothing too fancy, just me and my guitar recorded on my phone.

Danny Boy:  https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10 … 4852099016

Delta Dawn, because Toney asked me to play it at Chordiestock II and I didn't know it yet.  wink

Re: Covers for my non FB Chordie friends

I set those to public, so you should be able to click on the links and view them even without facebook.  Let me know if it doesn't work though!!!

That was great Amy!

Re: Covers for my non FB Chordie friends

Very nice Amy. How are you liking your guitar? I remember when you got it but I don't remember the model. The reason I'm asking is I just got me a 000-15m and it looks very much like yours. They both sound great.

That's the one!  smile
It sounds much better in person, as you know.  Congrats on your purchase.  I'm sure you'll love it and never regret it for a second!  Wayne handed me a set of Martin SP's ... and that's what's on it now, but I have to say I like the Martin silk and steels best.  They don't last as long, but they sure do bring out all the mellow tones to this model (and they are super easy on the fingers). 

THANKS EVERYONE for the kind comments.  Working on another tear jerker, although I have to be honest, my fingers are sore.  I haven't forced myself to play enough since chordiestock.  That's one thing I NEED to do more.

Ok Amy I took your dare and I'm glad I did! That was fantastic. So heartfelt,the singing and guitar playing was spot on. I got the feeling you poured your soul into that performance. Top notch for sure!!

Re: Covers for my non FB Chordie friends

I'm having an issue getting my "featured video" to change.  "Sort Of" is the new one for those looking.  "Broken on the floor" is an original that I made in 2011.  FYI.  smile

EDIT:  Got it fixed.  You should now see the right one when you go to my YT page.  smile

Re: Covers for my non FB Chordie friends

Wow! Amy now I understand all the compliments about your singing here on Chordie. I think your rendition of Danny Boy is one of the best I've heard. Thanks for sharing with your non FB friends.

P.s. And recorded on a phone. Incredible.

I missed this. Great job Amy

You can see all my video covers on [url]http://www.youtube.com/bensonp1000[/url]
I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.

Re: Covers for my non FB Chordie friends

I just listened Amy.  Wow!  Great job!   Your style is unique and I liked that.  Your voice was spot on and your liberties with the phrasing came off really well.  10 thumbs up!  Well, I don't actually have 10 thumbs, but if I did, they would all be up.  You keep doing it.
