Re: August 2016 FSOM: Knockin on Heaven's Door -and- Six Strings Down

rickyjack ...... would never think of you as a snob smile  and your very welcome re: this idea for this forum, the initial idea was mine but it was unclejoesband who suggested to the moderators that perhaps we should take this idea on board and create a forum for it.  I am so glad you and other people are enjoying it.  I get a lot of pleasure out of trying to cover these songs as well smile
Love your version of Knocking on heavens doors smile
Your welcome re posting here the link for sound cloud.  All you have to do to post the link here is copy  (high light) the link or url from the top of the soundcloud page and then paste it here  in the comments section.

Re: August 2016 FSOM: Knockin on Heaven's Door -and- Six Strings Down

Amy, the charming lady I do not know, Jim, Joey, Joe and Mike that was a great version of the song, wishing I had been there to be a part of it, although I did hear my name mentioned at the end big_smile.

Amy, I thought the Axl Rose impression was great.....

Disappointed that the famous bread machine was not a part of though. lol

Dino, it is not a competition, and no one is going to put you down if your singing is not perfect but, if you really do not want to sing, I see no reason why you cannot play the song and get a friend or family member to sing for (or with) you. It is all for a bit of fun and to see how different people interpret a song.

It would be a pleasure to hear something from you but no one would take umbrage if you do not.

Re: August 2016 FSOM: Knockin on Heaven's Door -and- Six Strings Down

Ok
Here is my version of Dylan's Knocking on Heaven's Door
I added a verse that I wrote b/c I thought there was more to the song than just getting old and not being able to draw fast anymore.
Hope you like it.  https://soundcloud.com/tigljk/knocking- … door-cover

OK yet another that I have never heard of but I have done my best. Finger picked Nashville tuned guitar, standard tuning for strumming and lead riffs. No Band-in-a-Box instruments, all me, so there is only me to blame lol

Re: August 2016 FSOM: Knockin on Heaven's Door -and- Six Strings Down

It has been a little hectic this month and I have only just had chance to listen to this month's songs. There are some great covers this month. Rickyjack's use of the harmonica, Peatle Jville's unique style of performing it, Jim's personalised verse (which I also used so he would get mentioned in it smile), Amy's Axl Rose impression with the Back Yard Gathering, Mojo's and Joe's offerings are all impressive, Great job by everyone.

Hmmmm.... not much action going on in here!  Where are all those recordings?

Re: August 2016 FSOM: Knockin on Heaven's Door -and- Six Strings Down

Ok first one of two is up on Sound Cloud  from me .... a bit rushed trying to get this one done as we are nearly at the end of the month and i am fast running out of time to get them both done.

So here is the first one  .....  a real quick take on it.

Re: August 2016 FSOM: Knockin on Heaven's Door -and- Six Strings Down

Roger ....... thanks, i am enjoying re-learning guitar, self taught and ahem i stuck with singing the song in G D and Am ......... didnt have to use that darn F chord wink

Tigljk .......... thanks for that, i thought it needed a little something to make it a little bit different smile

rickyjack ..........  aww thank you, it was a quick take as i knew i was running out of time to get one up before the end of this month.  I hope to get the other song up if i can get some time tonight smile

easybeat ............ great to see you joining in smile   I left comments on sound cloud for you.  You certainly made it your own, completely different, well done smile

Re: August 2016 FSOM: Knockin on Heaven's Door -and- Six Strings Down

Well, I tried a punk version.  Didn't work out.  I tried to enlist a bass player and drummer.  Didn't work out.  So, I poured myself an absolutely enormous glass of Evan Williams 1783 on the rocks, grabbed my Martin 12 string and whipped this out.  It is not good.  It is not bad.  It just is.
