Your welcome mojo01 ..... we will look forward to hearing you back playing here

Ok ... my attempt at a Chris Cornell song, called 'Be Yourself'. I did a quick recording this afternoon as once again a busy day. It is definitely nothing like the original but as I can`t possibly imitate him so I made it my version. Think I already mentioned, I actually don`t know his music, but do some of it now. Here is the link to my version.

Do a song badly, let others laugh along, you may get some constructive criticism to improve your performance, and everyone learns and gets encouraged in a safe space. How often do you get that? Hardly ever.

Exactly! It's not about doing it "amazingly" or sounding "just like them" - it's about doing your own thing.

Now, if I could just find some time to do a recording when there's not 20 other things going on in the background - I'd have a lot more songs up to listen to! I may have to just go out back and allow the rooster to chime in and record anyway. Wouldn't be the first time!

mojo ....I haven`t even heard of Chris Cornell and I am going to have ago lol ............. I was meant to go pick one the other night of his to attempt but it didn`t work out as ended up with a sick grandchild. So hoping tonight to attempt one of his if i get the chance. As for Bobby Mcgee, might try it again but hmmmmm can`t seem to nail the end bit, might have to just leave it out. Don`t want to deafen ya all with my screeching to hit the notes lol. Oh yeah and my guitar and or ukulele playing leaves a lot to be desired I have decided *sigh*

Anymore folks going to have ago at these two songs? I have tried a few times to do Bobbie McGee ............. that`s as far as I got ........ i get to the end bit and end up sounding like a screeching banshee lol as I attempt to perform it like Janis Joplin or Pink ( by the way i have listened to Pinks version quite a few times - I love her version of it!).

I have to be honest and say i don`t know any of Chris Cornell`s music. So I will go online later today and pick the first one that comes up that I think i could possibly attempt (haha) and try and see what i can do with it.
