Cover Challenge?

[Guitarpima]

Name 3 bands/artists you would like to do a cover for and the one with the most votes by the 1st of the year, will be the band/artist to cover. Simple enough.

1. Van Halen
2. Ozzy Ozbourne
3. Pink Floyd

[Viscolex]

1.Ozzy Osbourne
2.Pantera
3.Hendrix

[Stew]

1. Joe satriani
2. Aerosmith
3. Queen

[Guitarpima]

I realized we should probably limit the bands/artist that have songs with a variety of skill level required to play them. That way us players who cannot play the really hard stuff can participate in this challenge.

you missed out clapton but you remebered dollar!! :th_36_12_2:

[Jack]

Pink Floyd??? Curses! I've been practicing "Welcome Home" by Peters & Lee....

Actually, that tune seemed a bit to hard for me, so I was checking out "Save All Your Kisses" by Brotherhood of Man!

Still have no clue who "Dollar" is, tho.... (but my mirror always echoes... )

[Guitarpima]

You guys crack me up.

Sorry about forgetting Eric Clapton. I'll update the list.

Mooning someone who missed one name. sheesh

[bwdavis99]

you missed out clapton but you remebered dollar!! :th_36_12_2:

"....yellow moon on the rise...."

I think it's a subliminal reference to Neil

[Guitarpima]

:flame:

That takes care of that. I've actually done it someone before. :lol: Nothing more funny than lighting someone butt on fire.

[Guitarpima]

It looks like Pink floyd is it. I say the last day of January everyone should post entries. Or if someone would be so kind to set up a vote page for the entries.

[Guitarpima]

Since January seems to have been a rough month, I think we should push it back to Febuary. Say around the 21st. I was also thinking of changing the rule to post something from the three choices you made. All in favor type yes. If not, the original rules apply.

[Rick]

another thread i missed..

van halen
ozzy with randy
acdc


no shocks there then eh!

[daveyravey]

Hmmm just noticed this thread.
How about......

Yip :-D

brilliant! i seen them live with ozzy last summer :gayspidey:

[daveyravey]

Cool, missed that tour as well.
Something i seem to be making a habit of lately :-(

[Guitarpima]

Ok then. Choose a song from the three you voted for.

Febuary 21. Good jammin!

[Guitarpima]

Just a reminder to post your music on the 21st. Good luck!

[zeusse]

I missed the vote can I do some OZZY....but I'll do vid I haven't done one for awhile

[Guitarpima]

Yes. January was a weird month and nobody really seemed interested in doing a Floyd cover. So any cover will do. Post here on the 21st.

[bluesgeek]

I'm doing floyd mate ;)

[bigdoug]

if I have time I will do Breathe.

[Guitarpima]

Cool BG! I too am doing Floyd with the help of Zeusse on vox. I hope he has time.

You can do any of the three you chose BD.

I changed that rule. I don't think anyone likes doing the amount of note bending Gilmoure does. I swear he must have been a failed scuba diver and died of the bends in a previous life.

[Jack]

I think I'm cheating, cuz the Stones weren't on my list... but its all I've got, and I won't have any more time this month!


This is actually far from done - but, again, its all I have right now; So deal with it! :tongue:

Blimey!!!! I always liked that tune and this is a great version. I fairness mate I actually think it is bloody brilliant!!

A rep point from me as well.

I'm dealing with it just fine BTW!! LOL

Thanks

Farl

[Highway Star]

Bugger that is good!! LOL

[Jack]

Thanks, mate! You should give this tune a go... that chord progression is rather fun to jam to. Guess that helps explain why ol' Keef can still rock 'n' roll... ;)

[Guitarpima]

:butt:

You were supposed to wait till the 21st.

Nice version BTW! Great beat! Great old classic.

[daveyravey]

Jack m8, that was bloody good :thumb:

[bluesgeek]

Putting this up now as theres a chance I won't be around on the 21st - and I ain't going to miss this one!

Gunners Dream - Pink Floyd.

I chose this one for a couple of reasons - firstly I've never heard anyone cover it, secondly it's one of my favourite floyd songs, I find it very moving. I think the Final Cut is better than the Wall at times and certainly this track is one of the best.

Pretty much all by me, I downloaded a dodgy piano midi track and worked from there. Of course the original has little to no guitar in it, so I swapped out the sax solo.... here you go :D

[Rob]

damn I forgot about this one, err hideaway by EC or down my current learning route, pretty woman by van halen hmmm!! choices choices. Im on it :-)

[daveyravey]

Never heard that track before BG.
Never the less, it's something different & bloody well sorted.
Excellent :worthy:

[bluesgeek]

cheers davey, I went for neo-classical/jazz on the solo - big time :)

[Guitarpima]

Awesome track BG! Everything was well executed! Thanks for sharing this one!

If everyone has tracks ready, just start posting. On the 21st, is the last day. If a mod will create a poll on the 22nd, I would appreciate that very much.

[Jack]

I noticed on my post, that every 45 seconds, I could hear a tone play... Turns out I was using a Trial Version of a mastering plug-in! Arrgh!

Here's the "non-trial" version. I couldn't help myself, so I also tweaked it a bit...:10:

Made Loud, to be Played Loud!

[Guitarpima]

Even better Jack!

I have mine done as well but I am waiting to post it. I asked Eric to do the vox track and it turned out great. I think he is also going to post a cover.

[mullyman]

I wish I knew how to record. I'm not very good (playing) but I'd still like to try some of these things just to pick up some tips.
MULLY

[zeusse]

Well that was a damm fine track BG and kudo's to you for taking on one of more unknown Floyd tracks and doing it proud:woot:


And Jack that was awesome dude I was totaly caught off guard with your approach to this and finaly someone has freshened up this tune...bless you for that:worthy:


Guess I'd better record mine tomorrow the 21st is almost here ain't it.

[Guitarpima]

If you need an extra day or two, that's fine.

[zeusse]

Nah I'll record it after I get home from shopping tomorrow..I'm just gonna record it in one take anyways.

[bluesgeek]

cheers mr zeusse :) yeah I wanted to come out of 'left field' with the floyd. I reckon I've covered pretty much everything else in recent times... except for the Vera Lynn one from the Wall... hmmmmm :lol:

[bigdoug]

ok I have done an all time classic (always dangerous) so please forgive me in advance :grin:


Its Here (http://www.6stringheaven.com/wish%20you%20were%20a%20singer.mp3)

[daveyravey]

That's excellent Neil :jump:

[Rick]

yeh who needs to shred eh!

[Guitarpima]

Here is mine. This one is with the assistance of Zeusse on the vox. A fine job he did!

Nice Job BD! Good song. The guitar sounds GREAT!

[bigdoug]

thanks for the upload Rick and thanks for the rep points gentlmen :thumb:

Brilliant! You know when I got a 12 string I played that main riff a few times and thought "what the heck is that?" Now I know (as I should have before!!). Very very good mate! Very good indeed! And a very good voice for the track. Wiish you were here!.... well, I wish I was there so I could buy you a beer to celebrate!

BTW, Mother sent you a rep point for this post!

Norman

[bigdoug]

Give mother a big kiss from me and i wish you were here with a beer too :grin:

[bigdoug]

GP Money is brilliant and the vox are tremendouse, this is going to be a great challenge :thumb:
Jack..rock on great take on a classic

BG : crikey a real unusual one, very well done too.

[daveyravey]

Nice one Robert & Eric, you guys did a crackin' job there :-D

[Highway Star]

Here is mine. This one is with the assistance of Zeusse on the vox. A fine job he did!

Nice Job BD! Good song. The guitar sounds GREAT!

Blimey!! Did you do the whole thing?? I liked it more and more as it went on!

Nice one Robert! More often than not I'm getting to like the more original versions!

Norman

[Guitarpima]

Thanks guys. I learned a lot about what my recording software can do. Special thanks to Eric for coming through with the vox!

[Guitarpima]

I think your right BD. This is going to be a great challenge.

I've been trying to do the covers more original lately. I never did before. I changed the sax and the end though.

[daveyravey]

Sax ?
Never even noticed

[zeusse]

you know what Neil thats a great cover of that tune, its just natural no big effects or production just a man and his guitar...almost like sitting around the campfire so I flikked my lighter and it was almost the same effect bravo mate...and vocals too from you that was cool:cool1:

[zeusse]

I guess I said I do this my tone ain't where I'd like to have it for this tune but I'll go with it...I guess I have to work on some Ozzy tones....and no I'm not putting cringy vocals on this Ozzy ain't a good fit for me...sorry

[Guitarpima]

Nice one Eric. Nice tone and great playing as always from you. Very well done!

That's 5 so far! The more the better!

[bigdoug]

Thanks zeuse:thumb: thats a great cover of a great tune and I like the tone you used. Great stuff so far guys.

[daveyravey]

I've heard a lot of "crazy train" covers & that ranks up there with the best Eric, nice one :-D

[Guitarpima]

This will be the last day to post unless you type up and need some more time. If a mod would please setup a poll tommorow unless someone needs some more time. Although I think BD and BG will probably clean up!
