Thanks John. A fun song to play!! Am impressed with the Ibby though. Being (mostly) a Fender player, I did consider going that route, but “bang for buck” combined with a thinner neck, lighter body, and Bartolini pickups, it was a no brainer.

That song and album (and of course Hope’s voice) are amazing…thanks for listening and for the encouragement, John!

Thanks, Lanny! I appreciate it.

Hopefully I did your favorite song justice!

Man that’s a boogie! Love the fade in/out (of you) and the background changes! Sounds great!

Anyone remember Grey’s Anatomy?

This song was used in one of the most soul-crushing moments I ever saw on TV … the death of Denny.

It’s a simple song… but music doesn’t need to be complicated to hit you in the feels… right?

I couldn’t find any tabs for this song, so this was ‘by ear’. I’m probably not 100% correct, but good enough (IMHO :woozy_face:)

Had the same thing happen for my cover of Apparitions… couldn’t find a tab… thankfully Moises exists! LOL

Really great ear work on that track @sunDOG :slight_smile:

I think this is great version of the song. Fantastic to see the cats too!! :+1:

Cool song, @Milt!

That’s great, @JohnF. Love the video!

That’s great, @Buzzin_Canada-John. There’s a certain satisfaction in working it all out, isn’t there?

Solid playin’ @Vader! (I’m more of a Star Trek fan :wink:)

Sounded good, @Lanny, and I certainly don’t do church or church music :wink:

I like that, @JohnF!

Blimey, You’re on a roll, @Buzzin_Canada-John!!

It’s Wednesday, so time for my midweek cover :wink:

Dido - Small Town Boy (Bronski Beat)

Another of those songs that I thought I could improve by adding some bass :wink:. This cover of Bronski Beat’s Small Town Boy was recoded by Dido, for BBC Radio 2 in December 2013. Dido is a British singer songwriter, whose debut album was released in 1999.

Oh, I was inspired to record this cover by the fretless thread of a week or so ago.

Sire V7 fretless into the Hotone Ampero, then on into GarageBand.

Anyone know what I’m referencing in the video?

First time I have heard this version of this one. I am way familiar with the original … I’m really diggin it :wink:

Looks like an homage to the original Bronski Beat music video.

Great job! :slight_smile:

@Lanny Wow, that was a real groovy tune, I wasn’t expecting that. i Love it!
@JohnF I don’t blame you for toing more Mazzy Star, another great cover :slight_smile:
@Buzzin_Canada-John I’ve played this a bit for a friend, it is a very pleasant song indeed. You have to be 100%spot on with stuff like this, and so easy to let your timing slip. Well done!
@sunDOG I like this version, Dido does have a good voice. Also not a fan of Bronski Beat, but it is a good song. Cool video too :slight_smile:

@JohnF -Very nice song, John. Well played.

@Buzzin_Canada-John - You’re right music need not be complicated. Well done again!

@sunDOG - Great tone Duncan! Nicely done!

@AndreaJayne - Great intro to the cover, Andrea! One of my favorite movies and a song I grew up with. Awesome!

Nice, mellow songs to wake up with this morning.
Great job, everyone!!
