My fretless was giving some terrible 60 cycle hum into the mix.
You might need a grounding strap:
Clip goes on the bridge, strap goes on you ...

Nicely done once again, Neo ... you've got a good touch on this one. I was thinking of a bit of irony if this were to be in a set list for performing. You could follow this with "Love Will Keep Us Together" by the Captain & Tenille ... might be good for a chuckle.
Thanks - strangely I was thinking the same thing (not sure if you can hear me laughing at the intro) - as I was thinking "I'm smiling at the intro, but the song is a sad song about breaking up". When I read the Wiki page, the singer/songwriter (Ian Curtis) wrote it about his marriage breakup, which lead to his suicide later.
Nice playing Richard
You look so relaxed and comfortable playing that song. It sounds terrific!
Well done sir !
Thanks - it was kind of an extension of the Bizarre Love Triangle song I did earlier, as the second groups was formed from the members of the first group, less their lead singer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joy_Division
Cheers

You can also fix the issue right here if you have saved the song into your songbook.
The edit function lets you right into the raw song code.
That's good information that I didn't know; thanks!!!
Cheers
Richard
One of two things - either the song isn't correctly formatted on the source site (it needs to be in ChordPro format), or the Chordie parser hits some sort of error and can't recover from it.
Normally it's the first one; I download the files I want to play and reformat them to the way I like them, and it also gives me the opportunity to save the files to my iPad and have them with me where ever I travel.
Cheers
Richard
I wouldn't call you nuts, I'd call you magnanimous.

I too never had heard that song - you played it very well. I had the exact same thoughts TF did about the headset Mics!
You are a master of many different styles of music for sure.
Well done, sir!Jim
Thanks! I thought it was an 80's classic! ![]()
(But looking at the charts again, it got to 98 of the US Billboard top 100 songs)
Glad to introduce new (old) music to you!
Cheers
Richard
Well done, Neo ... a song I'd never heard before, and you certainly did it justice. Do I see dual microphones in your video? If so, I'm curious to know what you've rigged up and why. Nice cover, Neo ... always enjoy your work.
Thanks - when in my teenage years I got a lot into the techno-pop stuff, which was most of it around that era ![]()
No two microphones - I'd used the Rode as a lavalier style mic, on my shirt collar, etc, but wasn't getting the pickup from the voice, so i ordered an 'el cheapo' brand from China with the headset style microphone. Then I ripped out that mic and put my Rode in it's place, which is mostly what I use these days. I still need to hit it with some hot glue, as it keeps popping out of where the old mic used to sit, but it's just one mic for everything. This video is an older one between when I received the headset and before I pulled the mic, so the Rode is off to the side (the internal mic wasn't plugged in after the one trial, in which it's quality was 'as expected').

Also found this version, by the singer from New Order: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxp5ogeJ54Q
Cheers

Sounds good; I was waiting for some bass and/or drums to bring the lower end in, that would have been the icing on the cake!!!
Cheers
Richard
Looks like you had a lot of fun doing that one, Neo ... a great cover of this "Hollies" classic.
Thanks - it was fun, I did it on the 12 string first, but it sounded better on the 6 ....
Cheers
Richard
Lalena by Deep Purple (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ucy0XYxuNT8) was better than Donovan's (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5bdJPvrbOw) ...
That's terrific!! Can you do a Panorama pic for us???
Cheers
Richard
Bummer ... for whatever reason I can see them here in Chordie, but no one else can.
I can't get my photos from my PC to an Internet Site anywhere. Tried Picasa, Google+ Photos, etc., but keep getting run around in endless loops which are driving me crazy! They've worked in the past, but new "improvements" they've made have added more complexity (as often happens).
You're welcome to jump onto my webserver forum: http://neophytte.mine.nu/forum/ (you'll need to register) and pop them into the "Photography" section, from there you can add them to this site by using the "copy image location" from a right click (in FireFox). It's been a while since I've used it, I think there is a restriction on file size, but I can't remember what it is ....
If you get stuck, or need further instructions, send me a PM ....
Cheers
Richard
Sorry about that, gents ... how's it look now?
Still no image, in Firefox or Chrome
I'm not 100% sure, but I'll have a stab at this; the formatting on the site uses a variation of a file format called chordpro (see this site for more details: https://www.chordpro.org/chordpro/index.html), although some people are not aware of how to use it so they write their words/music verbatim with the chords aligning above the text, such as:
G A7
Love me Tender, Love me true ...
Whilst the chordpro version includes the chords in square brackets inline, and looks like:
[G]Love me tender,[A7]Love me true ...
Which then renders out as:
Note also that in the forums, this needs to be written as:
[song]
{st: Artist}
{t: Title}
[G]Love me tender,[A7]Love me true ...
[/song] Sometimes people will mix and match these two styles as well, which can lead the parser to make mistakes, because it's not sure what it's dealing with ....
I'm not sure if I answered the original question, but I hope that helps.
Cheers
Richard
Nice collection. I would love to get down to that many. I see mine in a different light than you do.
Thanks - every one of them is a different story - as I was unpacking them, so many memories come flooding back; like the silver G707 in the front (extreme right), that I played at a gig in Fremantle and they had no stairs to the stage, so as I hoisted myself up, guitar in hand, I split the groin of my black trousers .... look back and laugh.
I'm curious about how you see yours?
Cheers
Richard
