Busking Everly Brors
Posted: Tue Jan 29, 2013 6:59 pm
Here is a version of the Everly Brothers tune Bye Bye Love. This was done about a year and a half ago (June 2011). We are using a drum track for backing, and the drummer that we laughingly fire at the end of the video is non-existent. Actually, we thought there was another measure at the end, so it was our screw-up.
I dont know how long we had been working on it when we recorded this. The guitar is a Martin 000-28EC tuned to Open G. It has a bridge pick-up, but it doesnt appear that it was plugged into the PA. I guess I just overlooked it, so all the guitar noise was passing through a Shure SM57 on my mic stand. After watching this again, Im thinking that we hadnt been playing it for very long, because I miss a whole bunch of cues on the singing and some of the fills that should have been in there. I wont even mention the sour chord near the beginning . . . . sheez! Switching between standard tuning and Open G tuning tends to confuse me a bit.
We have reworked this song a bit since then, and it was my intention to record the new version and upload that one instead. But we keep getting busy learning new songs and our time seems to be burned up doing all that. One time this last summer, I had the camera all set up, and we played the new version, but I got distracted and forgot to press the record button. Oh, well.
Hope you can get something useful out of this.
