I've been wanting to learn Say Yes for a long time. You did a phenomenal job in your version! I'm curious, how long does it take you, roughly, from starting learning a song like this, to getting it recorded and finished? Oh and are you playing guitar and singing at the same time? For me, it takes a lot longer to finish learning and recording a song when I record guitar and vocals in one go compared when I focus on just recording guitar in one recording, and vocals in a separate recording.
@@FlameheartJr I'm going to do the same with tough songs like Elliott's from now on. I would spend a few hours learning songs, but then trying to play and sing them simultaneously always took me way longer than it took me to learn and I was less happy with the result than if I did it separately. You don't know how important the reassurance that you record separately is for me haha
@@FlameheartJr Damn, you're making me want to get back my cracked FL 10 from 2010. I stopped using it when i stopped caring about making electronic music back in 2015. But I'm recording Can't Make a Sound right now, which I gotta layer the electric guitar over the acoustic and background vocals with the main vocals. Plus get the levels right, add the right effects, etc. And I just realized how easy that all sounds to do in the DAW I spent 6 years getting really familiar with. These two posts right above made it all click (so thank you two!): Why reinvent the wheel and learn a DAW I'm not familiar with, or use cheap free stuff like Audacity, when I can just slap the parts together in a second and have more time to focus on the parts I love: learning and writing more songs and then performing them.
sounds nice! you have just made me discover elliot smith.
are you also doing the vocals? they sounds almost identical!
thank you!! he's an awesome artist. I just double tracked the vocals and sung softly for the elliott smith effect 😁

Hey what program/app/ whatever the hell you call it do you use to double track vocals and record, also Love this cover it sounds really good!
thanks! I use logic (the payed version of garageband) and record the vocals twice, then pan one hard left and another hard right!
