Topic: Roger Guppy,"Weep Not For Me" Acousic Cover

Howdy,

  I was messin around today and started workin on a song by Roger.I am just in the process and am workin on an intro and some other things.I changed the chords a little to give the verses a minor tone and kept the chorus pretty much the same.

Just a couple verses but you can kinda get the feel.         Sorry Roger ,I didn't get the title right on the thread. **but luckily I can smile Roger**

I'll second that Russ...I'm sure Roger will love it.

Great work all the way around on this wlbaye. smile

What is the mic you are using? I'm sure most of it is in the mix but it sounds awesome.

Kudos

Re: Roger Guppy,"Weep Not For Me" Acousic Cover

Thanks,Russ and Kenny
   
    I'm not too good at recording, so I have just been experimenting.The mic I'm using is a Shure KSM-27  Condensor Mic.
Shure has a new mic that replaces this one,so I picked one up because they are discounting them from $300. down to $200. till they are sold out.
    Any way I have my mic plugged into my Vocal 4 harmonizer and guitar is run thru it too,then they go into my acoustic amp inputs.I then have my camcorder plugged in to the line out on the back of my acoustasonic that has a level control.
   Oh,one more thing,this mic needs phantom power and the digitech vocal 4 has it so I have to use it with this mic whether I use the effects or not.

Hi Wayne,

A great recording and I like the interpretation you have put on my song. I am honoured and flattered, thank you.

Roger

Re: Roger Guppy,"Weep Not For Me" Acousic Cover

Thank you,Roger

   For some reason,when I think of the title, the song "If Not For You" by Bob Dylan pops in my head.I think that's probably why I messed the title up.Anyway thanks,I was just wondering  what people thought before I put too much time and effort in.On the verses I went from 4 to 3 chords and added some walks and hammerons.The chords are AM  DM  EM for the verses and F G C AM
on the chorus.
