I haven't done many covers in the past, but have found after doing a couple, they're a good way of learning how other people write and structure their music. This is a cover of one of my favortie David Bowie songs, 'Ashes to Ashes'. No vocals, so sing along if you know the lyrics  https://soundcloud.com/tace/ashes2ashes-v1 Edit: Also got a cover of DEVO's 'Beautiful World' that I'm pretty happy with. https://soundcloud.com/tace/bworld-v01 1000 Sweaty Rikers fucked around with this message at 10:53 on Dec 4, 2012 |

These are old, but here's a version of Cream's "White Room" I did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtgOi1SJWJE And a goofy version of Paul McCartney's "C Moon" (my buddy Glen on lead vocal): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNfb0y9P_mo

An early merry christmas to all recorded this yesterday, it's a fingerstyle cover of mainly emil ernebro's arrangement of the christmas song, but I've changed some passages out for others here and there. Comments/criticism welcome.

Trying something a little different to what I'd usually do, I'd really appreciate any feedback regarding the vocals. I know I gently caress up the ukulele a bit, but did this more as a vocals test. https://soundcloud.com/swissdonkey/on-the-rocks-grieves-cover

Behold! A Elk! posted:https://soundcloud.com/the-collapsing-stars/palmcorder-yajna-mountain Oh hell yes, that's amazing. I have a super soft spot for Mountain Goats covers and I think my life peaked when I heard Craig Finn (of The Hold Steady) doing the vocals for This Year. Although, I guess that wasn't really a cover since the TMG were playing the instruments. Whatever, still peaked.

Yeah, I learned guitar by playing TMG songs (and not much further) so while I turn almost every other cover into TMG chords/strumming I leave their songs as they are. edit: Also, everything about Think of The Children reminds me of TMG, from the style to the title to your band name, which I just happen to like very much.

The band is named after the song. And while I am getting a little better at being original a lot of my songs are heavily TMG influenced. With Think of The Children I was a bit (ok more than a bit) inspired by the style of Going to Alaska.

^^ Looooove that Morrowind cover! A few friends and I were in a cover band a while back. We tried to pick songs that weren't typically covered much and put unique spins and instruments on them. We recently decided to make a few youtube videos of some of our songs. Empire Ants by Gorillaz Crystalised by The XX Videotape by Radiohead.

What settings are you using on the Micron? I don't even know if we'll continue with our cover, but I love that sound/always want to know how people are using that lil red synth.

Here's me singing a song, which is Lollipop by Mika. I really enjoy it when highly edited songs/songs with lots of electronic beats/drums get covered acoustically, so I wanted to try my hand at this one. Hope everyone doesn't hate it as much as I didn't hate making it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0ywCcdKtoY

This past summer a couple friends and I started a brutal death metal and our second song was covering one of the simplest and most polarizing bands: 'Slaughterhouse' by Mortician. We recorded it in maybe a two hour time span from creating the drum track to learning the vocal patterns and riffs. This song was ridiculously easy to do, but it was also a ton of fun and we have gotten some really good feedback on it. I'm not sure how many of you goons are into this poo poo, but hey, it's a cover so it fits. Skip ahead to the 41 second mark if you want to bypass the horror movie sample. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1Jq7k_jPJE A TURGID FATSO fucked around with this message at 18:59 on Feb 12, 2013 |

https://soundcloud.com/beau-bradley-2/evanandchan Cover of Ben Gibbard's acoustic version of This is The Dream of Evan and Chan. I have no idea what I'm doing with regards to recording so I thought the quality was all right all things considered.

itsgotmetoo posted:https://soundcloud.com/beau-bradley-2/evanandchan Yeah I think the quality is good enough to get all the notes and emotion across, assuming you just want to evaluate yourself and give your friends something to check out. I think you do a good job of performing emotionally, but I think if you tone the emotion down a bit you could really tighten things up significantly. I've decided to experiment with covers on Youtube a bit, so here's my first go-round: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80AhD9Y1wrk. I need to not try to be Chris Cornell in the higher parts.

One of my friends had the same criticism so at least I know what to work on.

pennywisdom posted:Acoustic fingerstyle cover of Mad World. Ha, look at that. I like the arrangement. I just did my own cover of the song, although mine is much more simplistic on the guitar. Now I feel like I should've added some finger picking. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKMCLNF8YWI

http://www.vaughn-s.net/drwho.mp3 A slide guitar version of the theme from Dr. Who. The drums are pretty cheesy, but they were meant to be a placeholder until I got a real drummer to play on it (which never happened). Such is life!

Here's a cover I did of "The Dress Looks Nice On You" by Sufjan Stevens that I later performed for my friend's wedding ceremony. I use a Boss RC-2 Loop Pedal to put it all together live. I whispered more when I performed at the big show, but I still think it came out nicely. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjnAVmxc_AU

I especially liked the strum/pick thing you were doing in between verses. I have no clue how you do that but it sounded fantastic.

JT's new album is just so coverable, so I went ahead and made one (not suit and tie). I don't have an area where I can sing freely because the neighbors can hear, so I might be holding it back at times. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwxz59ZSDDg

My group normally plays fancy-pantsy art music that we commission from composers, but we're also going to be doing a ton of Youtube covers, so please feel free to offer some other suggestions. Other upcoming ideas include Twin Peaks, Gerudo Valley theme from Ocarina of Time, and some others. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVLXBWnTWeI

That was awesome! It made me dance! My suggestion, if you're going to continue in this vein, do the Skyrim and Morrowind themes. Although maybe those are overdone? I've no idea, but I'd listen to those played by you guys.
