arkady ......... I am thrilled to see you participating in here as I said before smile  'Greensleeves plus' , that was so good, it was really relaxing to listen too.  Thoroughly enjoyed it.  'She Moves Through the Fair' I actually don`t know that one but it was great and I loved that drumming, the beat of the drums just really caught my ear.  P.S. I hope you continue to bring your covers or originals to FSOTM for us.  Even if its not advertised as instrumental as such, any instrumental to whatever the song is that month is still a cover whether its singing or instrumental smile
.

Thanks Jan.
I will try and be more active on the FSOTM in the future.
Thanks again for the encouragement!

Re: APRIL 2018 FSOTM - COLORS - INSTRUMENTAL

easybeat ................ excellent once again, you play guitar or ukulele extremely well.  Loved it. smile

arkady ...... your welcome and yes I hope you do join in more smile

neo ..... wow, you have done heaps once again.  I am jealous and wish I could get to even one song at the moment smile  I listened to them all tonight and once again I applaud you for the amount of songs you manage to perform and cover.  White Rabbit, Golden Brown and Fields of Gold I must confess I don't know those songs at all (where have I been all my life: lol).   But very good guitar work on them all, especially on White Rabbit.  Liked the little touch once again with your filming, on Golden Brown changing from yellow to blurred natural light.  Fields of Gold had lots of reverb, so your mixing things up and changing things around for each song. 
Black Magic woman was catchy to listen to and suited the lead guitar.
Green Green grass of home, an oldy but a goodie.  I wondered if this song was a little bit deep for your voice and wondered if a different chord might suit you better so you didnt have to sing so low???
Behind Blue Eyes, a great song and I enjoyed it.  I had to laugh at your son and his cracker photo bomb of your video haha smile

Laugh Lots ... Forgive Much ...  Love one another     smile

Mojo

That was fantastic !

You've got to put more recordings out there - If I had your talent I would be playing guitar all day and and all night long !
Just plain excellent.

Loved the picture that goes with it!!! smile

The song is pretty good - I like the additional drum/(cajon drum?) that you added in - I've gotta say, it's a bit odd hearing a female sing it, but I'd also add that it's possibly the best song of yours ... smile

Cheers

Re: APRIL 2018 FSOTM - COLORS - INSTRUMENTAL

Thanks neo ........ yes cajon. I would love to be able to actually drum it with my hands rather than my foot to get a correct beat to songs.... but I can`t strum and drum at the same time unfortunately.  I can actually play the cajon quite well to many songs with my hands and it sounds much better played with hands.  Saying that, I would love to be able to record all sounds separately and then put them all together ......... that would be awesome!

Garage Band is free for Mac / iPad / iPhone .. otherwise Audacity is the Freeware software of choice for doing that sort of stuff; there was another free DAW (Digital Audio Workspace) ... oh, here is a list of the top 10 in 2015:
