Red 333 Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 (edited) Once a year I open my DAW software and try my hand at some music recording, and then make a video out of the completed song. This year, I chose We Three Kings. It's a full, one-man band effort, not an acoustic-only performance, but it does feature my Short-scale Maple Advanced Jumbo as one of the two rhythm guitars. The other is an Epiphone Paul McCartney Texan capoed at the 7th fret. Also featured are two other Epiphones--the new (and fantastic) Shinichi Ubukata ES-355 and a Jack Casady Bass. I hope it puts a little smile on your face. Happy Holidays and I hope you all get some new strings.

I remember you remarking on the sound of that bass when I posted last year's video. I only play bass once a year for the one song usually, but when I do, the Jack Casady makes me feel like a badass.

(and btw. listened to a couple of other versions after enjoying your version) Same back to you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We discovered this year, as I try to scrape the rust off my fingers as my better half is just starting out: picking out Christmas tunes is a ball! Good for retraining my ears, and it’s been great watching them on the square-neck conquering each carol, growing more confident by leaps. Merry old dogs, man, merry old dogs.

62burst Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Congratulations- you have really communicated the joy of The Season. Amazing work, and I'm sure it was a labor of love for you. Once again, you have raised the bar on your own work. Lots of looking up to the heavens, with graphics to match. The instruments all looked and sounded awesome. Merry Christmas to you and all the forumites . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a lot of work, but each year I feel like I learn something new about recording or compositing or playing, so it's worth it. And I'm especially gratified by all the holiday greetings and comments the video prompts here and on Facebook, where I post it for my friends there. Thanks for the very generous compliments.
