Topic: Almost - Recoded on Soundcloud

I did a quick recording with my cheesy computer mic
( Not that even the best mic in the world would help my singing  smile  )


Hopefully some one that can actually play and sing can do a cover of this if they think it is worthy.


I like it bc it's fun to play.

TIg I can' t quiet get my head around the F word for some daft reason to me it didn't seem you. This is not critisism of that but yeah its is a song I can imagine been worthy of a good cover. Your prolific gift for songwriting always amazes me.

Re: Almost - Recoded on Soundcloud

Thanks for that Jim, I did ask for a guide. I notice you are playing the new electric? Sounds good if a little out of tune?
I won't be able to do anything for a couple of weeks as I'm off to Lanzarote for a well earned holiday... that's my excuse any way. We'll see what I can come up with then.

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Peatle

Yup I was having trouble with that myself.  Thanks for the encouragement - I went back and re-wrote the first verse and took that out.

now it will go like this

[Em] Almost gone, almost there,  almost fell in love
Well I [A]almost cried, almost cared, you know[Em] almost ain't good enough
yeah, I'm [B7]almost sorry, I’m can almost  see
that i'm[C7] almost where, I [B7] never wanted to [Em] be
[Em] [A] [A11/E] [Em]
[Em] [A] [A11/E] [Em]

I will make a new recording and replace the old on soundcloud as soon as I get a chance.

Phill - absolutely right it was out of tune a bit.  I had tuned it - but then was messing around on a couple of songs using the tremelo-  and I think the result was that two strings got stretched a bit and were slightly out of tune. enjoy your holiday - that looks like a beautiful island !!

Thanks for the listen.

Tig the rewrite perfect. A cracker song which I am sure Phill will do brilliantly.
