Tilson Guitar Recordings
Добавлен 11 апр 2014
I’ve loved playing the guitar for 28 years, and over the last few years I have become obsessed with home recording as well. I love making acoustic arrangements of my favorite songs to hopefully play with our band, the Crazy Gringos. I’m always looking for songs to record, so please send requests! My son really wants me to end this paragraph with: “Rock out everybody!” 😁
Europa (Earth’s Cry Heaven’s Smile) by Carlos Santana, an electronic guitar cover
I’ve been listening to this song a lot lately, and on the night before Día de Muertos, “Earth’s Cry Heaven’s Smile” seemed to fit perfectly. As a blues lover, a Spanish teacher who has always been fascinated by Mexican and Spanish music, and a guitar player, obviously, I love Carlos Santana’s music. He blends all of those things perfectly and completely uniquely. My wife gave me and my father the amazing gift of seeing Santana live last year, and this was my favorite song he played on that unforgettable night. I hope you like my humble attempt to play it.

“Step Into the Sun” by Eric Tilson (an original song by me)
Просмотров 11714 дней назад
I started writing this song back in 2016, taking snippets from a poem I had written years before about some of the unique challenges of entering my thirties and jumping the chasm between being a kid and a bald dude. Luckily, they apply to my late forties too, and I was able to finish a second verse and a bridge. I’ll record a full version with all of the instruments…but I wanted to make sure th...
“I Hope You Dance, by Lee Ann Womack and Sons of the Desert, an acoustic guitar cover
Просмотров 46428 дней назад
I’d never heard Chris Stapleton’s beautiful live version of this song until I heard it last week at my cousin’s wedding, and I was pretty mesmerized by it. Finally, Friday night came and I got to learn it! I always loved Lee Ann Womack’s version too, but never really thought of an arrangement that I could sing. I sure can’t sing like Chris Stapleton, but I love trying his arrangement! I hope yo...
L-O-V-E as performed by Nat King Cole, an acoustic guitar cover

My wonderful cousin and her awesome fiancée are getting married tomorrow, and this one is for them. Nat King Cole is very far out of my comfort zone, but I hope you like it! Maddy and Michael, I wish you both a lifetime of L-O-V-E… #acousticguitar #acousticguitarcover #coversong #guitarcover #natkingcole #homerecording #wa87r2 #LarriveeOM-03 #love#l-o-v-e
“Someone You Loved” by Lewis Capaldi, an acoustic guitar cover
Просмотров 661Месяц назад
Every once in a while, I feel bad that my musical tastes are stuck in the past and stop thirty years ago…And then I forget about my baldness and learn a song from the new millennium 😁. I really only enjoy popular music that has a bit of soul, and Lewis Capaldi certainly has plenty of that! I hope you like my humble attempt at jumping into the 21st century…. #acousticguitar #coversong #acousticg...
“Plush” by Stone Temple Pilots, an acoustic guitar cover
Просмотров 6293 месяца назад
This song brings back SO many memories. The intro is the first guitar riff I got excited to learn to play when I was 16. I was feeling nostalgic after looking through my grandma’s old photographs, and felt like getting lost in the 90s for a bit. I hope you like my humble attempt at one of the best songs from the grunge era, or any era for that matter.
“The World I Know” by Collective Soul, an acoustic guitar cover
Просмотров 7054 месяца назад
I’m strangely nostalgic, and I always have a soundtrack in the back of my head. Several times, I’ve gotten a song in my head, and then Facebook memories came around and told me I recorded it around the same month several years ago. On the way home from vacation I listened to a podcast about Collective Soul and got this song in my head. I decided to record it, and I opened up Facebook memories. ...
“Dividido” by Alex Cuba, an acoustic guitar cover
Просмотров 1435 месяцев назад
I’ve been learning several Alex Cuba songs lately because I absolutely love his style. His beautiful melodies, awesome rhythm guitar and very poignant lyrics are a perfect mix. The lyrics of this song analyze acceptance and understanding about as well as any song I have heard… It’s possible to translate Spanish to English (or any language to any other) in many different ways, and a few of these...
“Esta situación” by Alex Cuba, an acoustic guitar cover
Просмотров 745 месяцев назад
Ever since my wife surprised me with tickets to see Alex Cuba play solo in April, I’ve been listening to his music non-stop. His melodies are beautiful and his lyrics are poetically positive, without any pop nonsense. Also, he’s a great guitar player! I hope you like my humble attempt at this beautiful song.
“Si pero no” by Alex Cuba, an acoustic guitar cover

My amazing wife surprised me with tickets to see this inspiring musician play an acoustic set with just him and a guitar, and it was truly fantastic. I didn’t know he existed until Wednesday, but we were 20 feet from him all night, and now I’m definitely a fan. I’ve been so deep into blues, classic rock and Motown that I barely listen to contemporary music…at all… I love Alex Cuba’s rhythmic fi...
“Hallelujah” by Leonard Cohen, an acoustic guitar cover
Просмотров 3756 месяцев назад
I’ve loved this song, and especially Jeff Buckley’s cover, since I first heard it. It’s perfectly simple with a hauntingly beautiful melody. I didn’t have time to arrange a new song this week, so I thought I’d record one of my favorites from years past. I hope you like it.
“Strangers in the Night” by Frank Sinatra, an acoustic guitar cover
Просмотров 4676 месяцев назад
This is a song I never thought I’d be brave enough to try to sing…but, well…I’m 45 and mostly bald and I’m just not very shy anymore 🕺. I have a wonderful uncle who has found a way to randomly sing the intro verse to this song during every visit we have ever had under any circumstances, and this goes out to him! He has made our family smile many, many times with this tune, and in millions of ot...
“Sentimental Journey” as recorded by Frank Sinatra, an acoustic guitar cover
Просмотров 2217 месяцев назад
I’m very excited about learning more jazzy songs from the 30s and 40s, mainly because I never imagined trying to sing them! But, since I’ve recorded all of my favorite rock and blues a billion times… I need to branch out. This beautiful song was written by Les Brown, Ben Homer, and Bud Green in 1944. I put this simple acoustic arrangement together roughly in the style of Frank Sinatra’s amazing...
“Dream a Little Dream of Me,” an acoustic guitar cover

At this point in my musical trajectory, it’s very fun to go WAY out of my comfort zone to sing something I’d never even thought about until…today. In the car, I spend just about all of my time listening to information about recording/microphones, and I heard a guy play this song on a recording tutorial. I knew I had no business even trying it. So- here goes! It was also a perfect tune to try th...
“Man in the Mirror” by Michael Jackson (and covered by James Morrison), an acoustic guitar cover
Просмотров 5257 месяцев назад
Last weekend, students from the high school where I teach did an amazing job performing a musical about the music of the 80s. Now, the musical part of my brain is pretty much stuck there… When I was 5 and 6, I used to run around with a sparkly glove and a fake leather jacket with lots of zippers. I never got very good at the moonwalk, but I never stopped loving Michael Jackson’s music. I hope y...

Nice work on this arrangement. You kept the feel and groove of the original. I appreciate you sharing it. It’s really good.
I love the way the note blooms when you hold it, would be fascinated to know your signal chain.
@@Clive007 Thank you! I used a Tonex pedal to play through an amp “capture” of Amalgam Audio’s capture of a blonde Fender Bassman through a tube screamer. I then ran it through a 1073 preamp, LA2A compressor and plate reverb with UAD plugins. For the clean part, I ran it through a Dumble OD Special capture from IK Media, and a rotating speaker plugin from UAD. On the dramatic bent up note, the captures don’t feedback/sustain like a real amp, so I manually turned up the volume on the recorded track to get fuller sustain there. I look forward to dialing in a tone on a tube amp when I can crank up the volume one of these days…
Terrific note selection and feel, and great tone!!!!
Thanks! I learned a lot of stuff from a dude with your name…
❤Fantastic

This is so wonderful. 1) that you have a Dad, 2) you share talents, 3) you’re both incredible pickers!
A very beautiful contemporary song and wonderfully interpreted with a lot of feeling, dear Tilson! Very much enjoyed listening. All the best and have a nice new week, Ludwig
Thank you very much! I hope you have a great week as well!
I've been listening to you for a very long time, you have great covers! Please keep posting videos😍😍😍😍😍

Nice Cover man!
@@edredman-c2q Thanks!
Dude I remember finding this cover years ago and trying to learn it, before giving up as it was way above my skills as a guitarist and a singer. Today I'm finding it again, and I'm still blown away by how good your performance is. One day maybe, I'll find the determination to learn and steal those licks ;)
@@dertizos Thank you very much! I’m so glad you like it! I recorded it again a couple of years ago (I got on a Hendrix obsession kick like I do every few years and recorded several tunes), but I didn’t play the end solo as close to Hendrix. I’ll make a playlist and I’ll share it with you!
I guess I had already made a playlist I had forgotten about. Here are a bunch of Hendrix tunes and one on electric!: ruclips.net/p/PLeVYx6XgZEXVdmSK67zcdVLVP6VAciBz1&si=yi3V_nMBPP-h93T5

@@cooperberry-cx1ic Thank you very much!
Wonderfully done! Sounds like low E string tuned down to C#. Did you retune any other strings?
@@tube49445 Thank you very much! I’m sorry, I remember that I tuned the low string down, but I don’t remember about the others. I’ll check when I’m around my guitar. I usually just tune the low one down for bass notes, but I did tune my whole guitar down 2 full steps for “Dust in the Wind,” so I’ll have to check this one
Lindo demais! ❤

Just beautiful.
