    The hardest thing about covering Fleedwood Mac is "Not Being Stevie Nicks" - too many people who aren't Stevie Nicks try to be her and it just doesn't work. Sophia absolutely slayed this by being herself and singing her voice - and she absolutely NAILED it.

      Not so fun fact, Stevie wrote the lyrics (the melody rhythm came about from a jam session) about how her relationship with Lindsey was falling apart, and Stevie and Lindsey both sing the song. Talk about immersion.

    Suggestion: It is obvious that you guys are recording these vids with more than the one hand-held moving camera (there's a bunch of them on stands). I'm sure a lot of us (musicians) would like to be able to select different camera's at different times so we can check out what's up on the keys, what's up on the drums, guitar, bass, etc. etc. Why not just set up a file on your site that contains the output of each camera so we can select the different shots ourselves while you're playing the tune.

    • @Kirinji1kirinji
      @Kirinji1kirinji Год назад

      Almost commented something similar and found this. I for one wished - with the copious amounts of cameras used - they switched angles, or better yet, split the screen into 4 or something so that it'd show more than one musician at the same time.
      I noticed that some "fixed" cameras were shooting in "portrait" mode (for social media perhaps?), so it would be perfect for the kind of use I just suggested.
