Post your covers! (2024)

Sounds great dude! Simple songs have their own challenges. A lot of times I struggle with the repetitive chugging lines, it’s just so repetitive, and to keep up the exact same cadence throughout the entire song can be tough.

Nice job! I love OMD. I got to see them live a couple years ago. They are the sound of my very early childhood.

I’m not really a Beatles fan, but one of the band suggested we learn Twist and Shout

Picking up on the point I made regarding the OMD cover, it is interesting seeing how songs are constructed. This one also has a repeating bass line, with two deviations for the ‘aaaaahs’, the first where you just ride an A, and the second, where you walk up from the A to the close. Very simple. It’s also interesting to hear the song - yes it’s in stereo, but the vocals are mainly in the right ear and the instruments mainly in the left ear.

Anyway, here it is:

The Beatles - Twist and Shout

We shot the video on the beach in Swanage, standing on a groyne - and no I wasn’t going to groove on one as I didn’t want to fall off :rofl:

I recorded the bass line on my Dingwall, but used the Steinberger for the video as that the bass I have with me this weekend!

RHCP - Under The Bridge
Song #49 of the 50 Songs Challenge is complete and I now feel that my bass playing is better than my video editing skills. :slight_smile: I hope you will give me feedback if there are any mistakes in technique or anything else so that I can correct them. Thank you.:slight_smile:
