Re: Guitar On My Coat

Alan I did enjoy Guitar on my coat especially the chord changes but sometimes your vocals faded below the guitar but I thought it was a lilting melodie and overall enjoyable to listen to smile

Re: Guitar On My Coat

hi alan,

nice songs nicely recorded, i had a quick listen to all of your songs while i was there, they would sound great played by a group of some kind. try the recording section, there have been many collaborations and i'm sure they'd be happy to help.

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Re: Guitar On My Coat

Hi everyone,

I appreciate the feedback.

I'm going to re-record the vocals on one of the last two songs and re-record two of the others that went up as single tracks - sometime. I have been away working, so I'm short on family time, never mind recording time. But I'm off over St Paddy's Day, so I may get some done.

I'll have a think about the collaboration thing - it's all very new this stuff !!

Hi Alan
See your've been bitten by the recording bug. Couple nice songs there.
Recordings need a bit more work as you say.. (Mine were alot worse when I started)
Well done keep it up.

Re: Guitar On My Coat

Great song, Alan. I also liked the guitar but like Russell said the vocals kinda fade in and out. Other then that, well done

Hi Daddycool,

Just heard that Robin of Sherwood may have been a bit of a run-a-gate. Not sure if I see myself as Allan-a-dale or Friar Tuck ( tonsure coming free). Sherwood, here I come !

Selso,

Thanks for the comment, I fully agree !  Waiting on your next.

Ark,

Thanks for listening. I'm probably going to keep it simple - I'm no Russell.

Just spent tonight in a state of frustration. My daughter writes for a "Twilight" ( novel about vampires, for youngsters ) fan-site that has a competition for the best recording of a chapter of their latest story, so she was using my one and only mic to record her written word. One of those situations when you want to but can't say no !

Good work on singing and playing.
Looking for more from you.
