Here Comes The Sun
Apologies everyone, I haven't posted anything for ages. Sorry to have neglected you, but my New Year's resolution is to work harder at my music, so hopefully I'll be more creative in 2024. This is your reminder that the weather can only get better here in the UK; so hopefully the sun will be on it's way soon! This George Harrison classic is a firm favourite. See you in '24!

Summerfly: Live at Stirling Folk Club. 21st August 2023
Просмотров 149Год назад
I don't often post live recordings because I prefer to be in control of all the sound and visual parameters! However, despite this, I thought this was just about good enough to upload to this channel. Me on Guitar and Vocals, Dave McLagan on Bass. Summerfly was written by Cheryl Wheeler. Let me know if it's not up to my usual standard!

    Beautiful song I´d forgotten. Thanks for doing such a great job both playing and singing. I´ve added this to my favorite list. I´ll be playing this "continually" now for the next few weeks. The 60s were really full of magic indeed. :-)

      Thanks. I don't know what you are currently using but I use a pretty basic set-up. Some people just use the raw video from their phone. I don't recommend that. I use GarageBand for recording the audio, and simultaneously use my iPhone for recording the video. I marry them both together using iMovie (most people would use more sophisticated software) . I never use the audio from the iphone - it's not good enough and you cannot really edit it properly. I use a Scarlett i2i interface; a pretty basic Rode NT1a condenser mic for vocals. I usually overdub some vocal harmonies and maybe another guitar track as well. Hope that helps.
