Thanks!
Lennon’s version has much shorter, abrupt notes.
The ‘cleaned up’ version holds all the notes basically all the way through.
I went somewhere in between as it sounded right to me.
Glad someone noticed this as I toiled over it quite a bit!

There’s a family party at my restaurant tonight with some of our close friends, There’s a request for a Karaoke and 2 people are bringing guitars, I just packed the bass hoping I’d get to jam, lol.

That’s very kind @Mac I think we are all just having fun and I hope it shows in the playing.

I hope to see you have a go at something in 2023!

Any questions about the process, then message me anytime.

Happy New Year.

Time for the annual counts !

Dear BassBuzzians, for the second time, we broke the previous yearly record. In 2020, we recorded and released 164 covers, which is crazy already. In 2021, it was an insane total of 179 covers. In 2022 we did even way better with not less than 207 covers. Yes, we passed the 200 step. That’s roughly 4 covers per week on average.
Since the begining of the thread in the summer 2019, we recorded a grand total of 578 covers.

Also for 2022, I decided to add a new statistics : the duration of the covers. All together, we recorded this year a total of roughly 12 hours of covers (exactly : 11 hours, 58 minutes and 58 seconds). It would need 10 CDs (74 minutes each). That’s mindblowing.

As always I’ve listened to each and every cover posted on this thread and it’s always a joy to note the huge progress made by everyone. I still truly believe that recording and releasing covers is a great way to learn, and to become a better musician. And most important, it’s always a lot of fun.

To close this annual report, I’d like to remember something important : I know I keep repeating this all the time, but when you release a cover, please write clearly the artist and the name of the song in your post, like : “Artist - Name of the song”. Otherwise I have to use Shazam, which doesn’t work everytime. Sometimes I have to make Google searchs to find the exact song name, and so on … So, writing the artist and the song of your cover takes 5 seconds, but it really saves me a lot of time and avoid errors when I do the annual list.

Awesome!
@terb - what about the Christmas covers and the challenge covers?
Challenge is a bit trickier to trach but the Christmas ones are a bit easier.
I have a ton last year in the challenge threads.

Yeah, the covers are kinda “diluted” those days. Since the creation of this thread, other cover threads have been created … I can’t follow each thread so this count only concern the “Post your covers!” thread.

The solution is very simple : it’s not a problem for me if you repost here a cover that you posted on another thread, so it will be part of the official “Post your covers!” annual count :slight_smile: I even encourage this, as it is the only viable way for me to make this annual list something more exact about the covers recorded by our community.

Good idea!
I had started doing this to drive traffic over to the challenge thread but then stopped.

All time favorite song here.
Playing the guitar part is also really satisfying on the bass!
There’s something in this song that still gives me goosebumps.
Great performance.
Damn, I love this song.
