    http://www.mediafire.com/file/mmzjz2nu2iz/03 Running To Stand Still.m4a U2. That was done entirely by myself, don't usually play piano but it was only 3 chords



    I'm listening to Running to Stand Still and yeah I like, it sounds very proffessional . Your voice is much better and stronger than mine .

    I like the mix of piano and guitar too. How did you record this then? Impressive

    I've only listened to Running to Stand Still but I like it. Well Done

    Thanks I'm a bit ashamed about ducking out of the falsettos though I recorded it on an M-Audio Fast Track Pro that was connected to a Mac and just mixed it through Garageband thanks for that though

    No problem, its the truth, and did you have to pay for thes M-Audio Fast Track Pro and Garageband or are they free? I was thinkin of doing a simular thing myself... .

    Don't wurry when I play that I try those falsettos and I can never pull them off, it was a good cover
  5. Awh well the fast track pro was about 250 Australian dollars but you can get cheaper ones easily and GarageBand comes as standard on Apple Macs Thanks again
  6. I've downloaded and listened to Running To Stand Still....... Gorgeous!!! I love the slight guitar on the background (specially at the start, before the 2nd chorus, and the solo - those bendings!!!!), and the vibrato on your voice while singing the Ha la la la de daaay's..... Well done

    Downloading VD'sL and Unchained Melody now!!


    Still ruuunning... Still ruuunning... Still ruuunning... Still ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunning...

    http://www.mediafire.com/file/ijdzbzj51my/04 Van Dieman's Land.m4a U2 My uncle singing the first chorus, the it alternates between both of us doing the melody and him sometimes harmonising.

    http://www.mediafire.com/file/1itzwj4ky2g/06 Last Request.m4a Paulo Nutini. Done by me again, learned and recorded it in about an hour All Along The Watchtower- esque

    http://www.mediafire.com/file/2jy4enzz3zz/09 Coconut Skins.m4a Damien Rice. Done by me again

    http://www.mediafire.com/file/dqdzztnzntg/10 Unchained Melody.m4a. My Uncle singing this in total. Note the dodgy lead guitar in the bridge

    http://www.mediafire.com/file/cemnfznzoyg/02 Stay (Faraway, So Close!).m4a Another one This is the first song we did so we are a bit new to all the gear to this I recorded my vocals twice and just layered them over to add a bit more depth There's a nice little touch at the end if you make it that far Thanks again

    I'll sort this out later, sorry, its tea time

    EDIT: Don't really know what to do here.

    Its my attempted version at Running To Stand Still, I'm not a proffessional by any means but I thought I'd just put it on...


  11. Where your upstroke for strumming man? Pretty good attempt at it, you can here yourself straining yourself a bit sometimes but you pretty much nailed the falsettos

    Thanks mate, yeah I'm no proffessional on the old guitar, had to teach myself and singing is not the greatest but thansk.

    Sorry i didn't mean to steal your lime-light either... I made a few mistake on that one too. When do you do the upstrokes Joe?
