Buc McMaster Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Started fiddling with this one last night and, perhaps prematurely, penciled it in for tonights' open mic. Trying to vocalize the slide guitar lick at the into.......might end up leaving that out if I can't make it work better than this. Punted the whole thing late. Ha! Oh well. I do enjoy the process of learning and putting a tune together..........this will get better! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQjj6AgavDc A new take with capo at 2, fancy stuff left out until suitable instruments and harmony voices available!

theflyingturtle Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Buc, I have heard you sing a lot of songs but this one you sing and play it exactly the way I think I would want to. Excellent job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philfish Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Buc doing Sister Golden Hair? I'm not a fan of America the group, but had to listen. I am a fan of Buc's stuff Great singing as always, the guitar sound as well. I really liked the ending Jest like me after the first verse and chores of songs I do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelly campbell Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Good job again Buc, I like the song and the group. I think this is gonna end up being really really good. Thanks for posting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorrisrownSal Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Buc, My friend Mike and I play this song, as well as Ventura Highway, in our sets. Mike does play the slide parts and it works out awesome. The crowd lives these songs. Heck, I love America. Anyways, great guitar, stellar vocals, and I think you will nuance a way to treat the slide parts. Kudos... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 yea man, that works just fine.. I'm with the rest, love America, Thought about giving wild fire a try? that's another with a tricky signature intro but it works without. I think you'd kill that one too.

Buc McMaster Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 Thanks, fellas. Open mic went well. This tune went okay but I discovered it works much better with the capo up a notch........kinda flat in this video but much improved a half step higher. The host sat in with me and sang harmony - very nice! - and did the slide stuff on a dobro. Wildfire. Yeah, I know that one but those MMM high parts are a *****! Not ready for prime time at all! Still workin' it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
