• Cello, new song and video

    From Tom Hendricks@21:1/5 to All on Fri May 4 07:56:43 2018
    Dear Reader,

    My new music video for my song "Cello, A Love Story",
    is now posted on my youtube channel. There is some art to fit too.

    This is a rough demo, not a studio recording like my 9 cds.

    To fit the words, I played my guitar like a cello - all low notes!
    See what you think.

    Headphones are best. PS, recorded live, no auto tuning here!

    CELLO
    (c) Tom Hendricks 2018

    1.

    I was caught off guard, reading some books one day
    When I heard next door, someone began to play.
    Cello practice there. She played some scales to start.
    Then after a pause, she played a piece by Bach.


    Chorus

    First she played it sweet like a Siren sings
    Then she played it rough like a stormy sea
    Passion in her bow as her cello rang.
    Passion in my heart, not too far away.


    (guitar lead, then repeat chorus )


    2.
    Music shows the soul. Its more than skill or rote.
    When she strums the strings, feelings in every note.
    (I) listen when I can, don't want to miss her play.
    (I) really have to find some way to meet some day.


    Chorus (repeat).

    What about the chords? There are none.

    Also, have you considered using an EBow? There are some interesting videos
    on youtube, including the use, in addition to electric guitars, with
    acoustic guitars and electric basses...and of course, there's always the
    Jimmy Page style using a real bow and making chords for some polyphony ;)

    Headphones are best. PS, recorded live, no auto tuning here!

    More than that. If you've recorded it using headphones, then all your
    settings and adjustments were done using headphones so the recording was essentially 'mastered' for use with headphones - it's like that with all my Originals' demo recordings too.

    Will you be recording a version with chords?

    Ouisie, sorry for the slow reply - I just haven't kept up here.
    No chords on this one. When I do so many recordings on standard, I want to make each stand out. One way to do that is all bass, which I experimented with on one or two songs in my 150 set recordings.
    This is one awful recording, I call it cheap cassette recordings, so a studio version would be much better - but the bass line as a cello would remain
    and there would be no chords - don't need them.

    Chords enrich the song ;)

    Speaking of which, I'm in a band where the guitar player is a big Yngwie Malmsteen fan. And so that means 'covering' some Malmsteen tunes, which have very little if any chords, so I've got to arrange them in to play on the
    organ.
