I'm Just Ken - acoustic Barbie/Ryan Gosling cover - Mike Massé

"I'm Just Ken" by Ryan Gosling (from "Barbie"), a cover by Mike Massé, recorded live in the studio during a public live stream on Feb. 10, 2024 (two days ago, at the time of this posting). Here's the same unedited performance in context of the live stream: • Epic Acoustic Classic ...

Liner Notes: This one is for my son Tim, who suggested I learn the acoustic version of "I'm Just Ken," upon which I have based my arrangement. ❤️ This song has been nominated for an Oscar this year for Best Original Song. This is the first song from a live stream that I have re-posted as a stand-alone video for the channel. I live stream regularly, so subscribe to my channel and turn on notifications to be alerted to when I go live. It's usually Saturday nights at 9 PM ET (like next weekend at the time of this writing, e.g.).
I played the stomp pedal (left foot) and tambourine (right foot) throughout this performance. My guitar is tuned down 1/2 step, which is how the original was recorded, so this is the original key.
You hear my Roland GR-55 guitar synth playing with the guitar tracks. The synth happens in real time (tracking along with the guitar performance).
I play Ovation Guitars. My stomp pedal is a Wild Dog Stomp Bunyip, made in Australia. www.wilddogstomp.com/product/...
My capo is the Glider Capo by Tonal Music. www.glidercapo.com/

No matter how corny the song, Mike's voice sounds good.

[@sadem1045]

This is, quite honestly, my favorite song in the movie. The soundtrack was put together beautifully and the Kens' musical scenes were really something to behold.
