    66 replies, posted
I got a microphone today so i've been doing recording. I am bored right now and i want you guys to suggest some good covers for me to do on acoustic guitar. Don't say through the fire and [b]lames[/b] because i can't play that shit. I'll play stuff that's reasonable. Here are my covers so far: [b]Pinball Wizard[/b] [media]http://dump.no/files/cdcab49a19dc/Pinball_Wizard_(sound_check).mp3[/media] [b]Ballad of Serenity[/b] (for proto author) [media]http://dump.no/files/a720a4f238a8/the_ballad_of_serenity.mp3[/media] [b]Ballad of Serenity (second, improved version)[/b] [media]http://dump.no/files/a720a4f238a8/ballad2.mp3[/media] [b]Edit:[/b] [highlight]MORE COVERS COMING SOON[/highlight] yes i know i'm bad at singing
Ballad of Serenity. And the Hero of Canton.
Springtime Depression by Forgotten Tomb. It's incredibly simple, but incredible beautiful as well. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=da86MwskLBQ[/media] Also don't mind the shitty pictures.
Dead Skin Mask by Slayer. :v:
Hmm i don't know any of those songs :cry: [b]Edit:[/b] i was thinking more songs that are common and that i might already have heard a couple of times so they would be easy to learn
[QUOTE=pyrofiliac]Hmm i don't know any of those songs :cry:[/QUOTE] You HAVE to find the Ballad of Serenity. You know, the Firefly theme?
oh wait i know that ballad of serenity [b]Edit:[/b] yeah i'm recording it now, i'm going to have to learn the violin part too and record it as well [b]Edit:[/b] alright finished, uploading now [b]Edit:[/b] Alright i basically learned this by ear on guitar vocals and violin (the violin was overdubbed) in about 20 minutes so don't expect like mozart or some shit. [media]http://dump.no/files/a720a4f238a8/the_ballad_of_serenity.mp3[/media] [b]Edit:[/b] come on proto listen to it i learned it for you :love:
Not bad. [b]Edit:[/b] Pretty damn fine, actually.
:love: [b]Edit:[/b] You know what, i think i'm going to record an even better version, and this time i'm going to actually use a metronome and follow the beat.
Pretty nice. I'll throw in a request for Dirge for November or Harvest by Opeth. [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObCMB2g9gUg[/url] [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxaFANthouM[/url] Do Vox if you want.

Dude (I Totally Miss You) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJ7nw3pBrnE[/media] and other tenacious D songs.

[QUOTE=Anthrax713][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOs1HC29zh4[/media][/QUOTE] ha if i tried that i would implode [b]Edit:[/b] [QUOTE=mastermaul]Free Bird. No, seriously. Come on, it would be epic.[/QUOTE] I'll do the slow acoustic beginning part :v: [b]Edit:[/b] New version of the ballad of serenity: [media]http://dump.no/files/a720a4f238a8/ballad2.mp3[/media]
[QUOTE=pyrofiliac]I'll do the slow acoustic beginning part :v:[/QUOTE] Aww... Oh well, do that. It would still be epic. :dance:
Well it's kind of late and i don't want to wake my neighbors, so either i'll do more covers tommorrow or anytime during the week.
[QUOTE=pyrofiliac]Well it's kind of late and i don't want to wake my neighbors, so either i'll do more covers tommorrow or anytime during the week.[/QUOTE] No Opeth? :(

Lol silverhammer you honestly want me to play that? Because i learned that when i was first learning guitar, and i'm sure i could pull it out of my ass if i tried.
Hey you wanted songs to cover didn't you
That song would actually be pretty good for me as it's got some violin. [b]Edit:[/b] I was skeptical because nowadays i thought people don't like greenday, but i'll add that to my "to-cover" list. I thought you were being satirical by posting a song people didn't like or something.
Naaw It's a song before Green Day sold out
St.Stephen - Grateful Dead I really love this song :)
Not going to take any Opeth suggestions?
[QUOTE=Hellfire999]Not going to take any Opeth suggestions?[/QUOTE] He should so do Harvest! :rock:
I'm sorry hellfire, I'm really only able to do songs that I at least have some prior knowledge of. Since I don't really listen to opeth It would be quite difficult to learn. also, I want to do a Jonathan coulton song ( not still alive ) which one should I do(out of the original 52 thing a week songs because I know those fairly well)
Here, Porcelain Heart by Opeth [media]www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKx5zrb0Z_0[/media] Now, get on it! Please?
