Me and @dcragg65 Collaborate

@Cragger sent me a song he wrote, so I banged out my version of it on my guitar into my daughter’s phone.

Any thoughts would be cool…

I might try another version later…singing over what David played and sent to me.

It’s a process.

Very nice

lol!

I’m not sure it’s what @Cragger was looking for.

I’ll try a different approach when I have the time.

What you did does sound great Patrick. You’ve got a great voice, and the acoustic work is really nice.

But I would still like to get you to take a shot putting vocals on the original MP3 that I sent you. If you’re up for it

Okay @Cragger

I’ll take a shot at singing over the instrumental you sent me. The song won’t be complete, though. It’ll just be a half complete rough draft.

I’ll post it here shortly.

Saright? Saright!

Here’s a rough half draft…

We can keep working on it.

Hey, thanks @anon39054230 . Your voice is very well suited to the song I think.

I think you just need to get quicker to the chorus…and it needs some chord changes to lift and propel the song upwards.

As it is now, I feel the tune just lies there. I tried in my acoustic version to raise the bar a bit around the chorus.

Having said all of this though, you’re own version is very heartfelt and passionate…reminds me of Willie Nelson.

Good job @Cragger. I think we’ll get to the bottom of this eventually.

Hmm…

Maybe our resident music Producer @zwolfgang could chime in with some thoughts or ideas…or maybe even try to reproduce a version of this song?

Like I say, this is a very bare-bones take. There will be a lot of instrumentation added after the fact

I really don’t want to change the structure or the chord pattern of the song, I was really just hoping for a good vocal and you seem to have the voice for it

My brother called tonight, and he needs a hand with some stuff. I’ll give it a listen again when I can

Thanks!!

I really like this a lot @anon39054230 and @Cragger ! You guys are quite a team

As far as what I think for this one I feel it should be kept realtively simple, like maybe what you have with the guitars, voice, drums, bass and some background strings. Im also hearing a pedal steel guitar sometimes, just a few slidey notes here and there, maybe on the buildup to the chorus to move the song forward as you said, I think the structure is great but the details arent in there yet

Itll sound a lot better after its fully mixed as well, which is why Im hyped about it, it already sounds really good! Great job guys and keep me updated
