BluesKing777 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I recorded a solo acoustic/vocal version of a song called "Under The Milky Way"by a band called The Church, that I have in a book of chords and lyrics for 300 songs! Mine is nothing like the original, just wanted to evoke the joys of sitting out on the back veranda in the evening looking at the sky while playing and singing with the Cargill guitar, but as you could guess, I wasn't outside - I had to come in to my music room with the mic and mixer and computer: https://soundcloud.com/bk7-3/milkyway777 And a photo from my new Imgur! And another test photo from Imgur: BluesKing777. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trans Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 The tunes are getting newer up the ladder 90's and up! LOL!!! Let's do some GnR's now!!!! Trans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatbaroque Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Really like the approach on this. I could hear this as soundtrack music in a movie with the protagonist wandering lost in the outback. I think I posted a version of this here yonks ago. A good song open to interpretation.

Lars68 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I always find it cool how you try to rework your covers. I think this one worked out particularly well! Lars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluesKing777 Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 Thanks! I didn't think anyone would know the song, so there you are! The guitar is more of a Davey Graham/ Bert Jansch type of thing, I think they started and everyone was doing the changes after that. One thing is for sure - I couldn't play the notes clearly on a 1 11/16" nut type guitar - need the fingerpicker specials! And I have a couple! The neck on the Cargill is made to my specs! Talk about perfect for me, but some would NOT like playing it....large wide V neck. I was thinking about FB's movie music idea and I think I would like to change it to where...tune plays....BK rowing a little wooden boat, with the Boss and Hound on board, across a nice, calm moonlit bay on a beautiful summer evening with of course, the Milky Way blazing across the sky, to the beach shack on the island under the palms.....gulp...etc.. (guitars in their Hiscox cases with waterproof bags covering)..... Basically, no more of the desert thing, too hot.... BluesKing777. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
