@Nutty 1 That was lovely Mandy.  I'd love to be able to play while singing like you, its not an easy thing to do! keep up the good work😊

@gotto @Simira @Skip Russell @Wim VD1  @Nutty 1 Thank you all for your kind constructive (and helpful)  comments...

And @Oldjock for your p.m. too...🎸😊 

After recording  a few songs the process is getting a bit easier and hopefull the recording quaility ( and my playing) is getting better too.

I learned that its best to record "dry" (without effects) when recording through an interface then add effects/eq/ reverb etc in the DAW  later if needed. The choice of guitar can have quite a affect on tone to

Ps. another Bossa classic coming up...

Pps. If you are at all interested in the jazz style or just want to expand your chord knowledge and spice up your playing, I recommed you follow Steve' K's "Fretboard Workout Jazz Chords" series. Thats what made playing song like Black Orpheus possible, for me.

Awesome Neil!! What great clean tone, a very nice example of your jazz progress. I really enjoyed it...inspiring.

A little late, but this song took me about 2 weeks to record and mix. Again another song by a lady but I love Sheryl Crow and again another song that is not good for me to sing in the lower range. I thought this was a nice song for the month's theme. The bass and drums are a karoake track but the rest is all me, including keyboard , background vocals , and several layers of guitar work. The mix sounds best with headphones or through a sound system, but also again, not my strength.

May 28th would have been my dad's 89th  birthday if he was still alive. I originally wrote this song for my mom, but it works just as well for my dad also.

Wow @rockinrickard that was wonderful. A very beautiful song superbly played and sang.

It is my goal to be able to write, sing and play like that. You are a real inspiration.

I thank you for sharing it with us and I look forward to the next video that you post!😎👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[rockinrickard]

  Thank you "Nutty "1, I appreciate your kind words. I'm going to try to be more involved with this wonderful group in the future.

Hey Greg, it makes me happy to listen to your recording 😀.

Great rendition. A lot of work must have gone into creating all the parts.

I must say you have a good taste in music. I love Cheryl Crow and especially this song.

Wim.

That's a nice original, @rockinrickard.

Both your playing and singing are great.

@gotto Great work Greg, you did a fantastic job.  This song is also one of my favourites and I found myself joining in with the chorus!😊

[Simira]

Hi @rockinrickard  I had a problem listening to your file, but I gave you a like anyway to say thanks for sharing your music with us. 😊

[rockinrickard]

Hmm. Thanks for the like, sorry you weren't able to play it.
