Abilene - George Hamilton IV cover, 3 part harmony

[TheMissouripicker]

Sweet rendition of a great, old song. You sing well, and you have guitar rhythm perfect. I enjoyed this....and hey kid, I like that dobro too.

[ImOfTheWoods]

@TheMissouripicker Thank you very much for the kind comments.  Glad you enjoyed this - and yes, learning a little slide and it's really fun to do. 8o)

@Bidyyy Thanks very much, Ernest & Sarah! I really enjoy your music & videos. Best wishes from Canada to you in Austria. 8o)

[terrisonb]

Very nice. love the harmony. What software are you using to record your videos?

[ImOfTheWoods]

@terrisonb Thanks very much, Terry. I use Cubase LE (light edition) 4. It was free software that came with my mixer. It's a bit buggy sometimes if I use many tracks - say 10-12, but I'm sure I could upgrade to the full edition to get the fix. It's really all I need for my purposes, though as I don't normally need so many tracks unless I'm messing around with piano, more than one guitar, drumbeat, harmonies, melody etc. 8o)

[terrisonb]

@ImOfTheWoods Thanks for the reply. I'm afraid that I am still using cave man equipment, ha. Dosen't look like the budget this year is going to allow me to join the 21st century. My wife keeps telling me "Its just a hobby, why do you want a $3300 microphone". What can I say?

[ImOfTheWoods]

@terrisonb Well wives are usually right, Terry, as I'm sure you've found out. 8o) Gosh, I wouldn't think you'd have to spend that much. From what I see here on youtube, if you sing well (and you do!) really good singing gets picked up even on the cheapest of webcam mics. My humble opinion.

[geoff1945]

I love the song and I love the way you performed it with that beautiful voice of yours, Sylvia

[ImOfTheWoods]

@geoff1945 Thanks very much, Geoff - so kind of you to say and happy I did one of songs you love. 8o)

[LittleFawn60]

[SabMei1]

Hello Sylvia,

this must have been lot of work. Sounds great und deserve a big thumb up :-)

Sabine

[ImOfTheWoods]

@SabMei1 Thanks very much, Sabine - actually this one came together pretty quickly. So nice to hear you liked it. 8o)

[rhopen]

Hi Sylvia, I always liked this old song and I think you did a great version of it. The harmonies are very nicely done. -Ron

[ImOfTheWoods]

@rhopen Hi Ron - yes it's a great old song, isn't it?! Thanks very much on the harmonies - as you know I love to do them. 8o)

[Jaime8585]

Lovely as always. I love the slide guitar!

[ImOfTheWoods]

@Jaime8585 Hi Jaime - thanks so much! The slide is not too hard, once you get used to it. I had the strings raised on an old guitar that I wasn't using, and am sliding with a piece of pipe. It's tuned to open E. Nice to hear you loved it! 8o)

[bappreciated]

Beautiful harmony....very nice.

[ImOfTheWoods]

@bappreciated Thanks very much - so kind of you! Also thank you for your video response - I like yours very much, too. 8o)

[onewomanandsomesongs]

Hello, Sylvia, oh I love this! Your voice sound MAJORLY amazing here as if it didn't sound amazing before that, hehe. You have the kind of voice that soars to the heavens. Love your double guitars too....great playing. Going straight into my favorites. :) Janet

[ImOfTheWoods]

@onewomanandsomesongs Thanks so much, Janet - so sweet of you - made my day. 8o)

[ordepix]

Well, you have achieved a extreme quality job here, to syncronize all those vocals must've been a bit difficult, steel guitar adds a touch of country sound as well. Congratulations!

[ImOfTheWoods]

@ordepix Thank you very much for your thoughtful comment, Pedro - so kind of you! 8o)

[1958wvpicker]

@1958wvpicker Thanks very much, Rich - yes, hard to suppress the sisters once they get fired up. lol Nice to hear you enjoyed this. 8o)

[1edkihm]

Hey Sylvia! That turned out great, nice harmonies and slide solo. I think you did a good job with the mix, I like the balance of the tambourine and the rhythm guitars.

[ImOfTheWoods]

@1edkihm Thanks very much, Ed - glad you liked it and I really like your idea of the tambourine. 8o)

[TanteA]

This is a beautiful song, and you made a nice cover of it. I like it when you play the slide guitar.

Nice greetings from Anette

[ImOfTheWoods]

@TanteA Thank you very much for your nice comments, Anette. btw we have a holiday here in Canada tomorrow, and I will be working on our song. 8o)

[babs4TLove]

Beautifully done Sylvia! Nice harmonies! Love the slide guitar - really adds to the instrumental! Regards! Babs

[ImOfTheWoods]

@babs4TLove Thanks very much, Bab! I love harmonies, so glad you like it. So nice to hear you liked the slide, too - fairly new for me. Challenge to keep the thing balanced on your lap, so I'm stablizing it with a strap. 8o)

[nllleonard]

Should have also said you played both instruments beautifully!

[ImOfTheWoods]

@nllleonard Also a nice thing to say, Nancy. Actually was quite proud of myself for making the solid leap to the Ab7 chord - but still fumbling a bit with the B7, but progress, progress, slowly but surely, right?? 8o)

[nllleonard]

Angelic harmony! Enjoyed it so much, Sylvia! NAncy

[ImOfTheWoods]

@nllleonard Thanks so much, Nancy - such a nice thing to say! 8o)

[cadjunk]

Hi Sylvia: Love your version of this one - Wow! Just great, and love hearing you play that dobro. Thanks so much for sharing. Fantastic. Take care, my friend, have a wonderful weekend. Gwen

[ImOfTheWoods]

@cadjunk Thanks so much, Gwen! Actually, what I'm using for the slide is my late father-in-law's steel stringed guitar - I had the strings raised on it, and use a piece of old pipe to slide - works quite well. Really glad to hear you liked it & have a great weekend yourself. 8o)

[cadjunk]

@ImOfTheWoods Well, it sounds great Sylvia. I hope you will do more with the instrument. It goes well with your singing/voice. Thanks for sharing. Gwen

[ImOfTheWoods]

@cadjunk Thanks again, Gwen - so kind of you! Yes, I'll do more - have to resist the urge to put it in every single song, though as I'm getting hooked. lol

[cadjunk]

@ImOfTheWoods That's cute, Sylvia. That's O.K., just stay hooked on it for awhile - I love it, and it blends so well with your singing. Take care, my dear friend. Gwen

[ImOfTheWoods]

[leobluesy]

Hi Sylvia

This sounds very nice. Good sound and great harmonies

Well played

Leooooo

[ImOfTheWoods]

@leobluesy Hello Leo - thanks for taking the front row seat lol. I'm glad you liked it - your examples demonstrated to me that I needed to lighten up on my touch when slide playing. 8o)

[leobluesy]

@ImOfTheWoods you did fine.... nothing wrong with it a little stronger either..... all a matter of taste... its variable.

[ImOfTheWoods]

@leobluesy yes, know what you mean - all depends on the song, right? Thanks again, Leo. 8o)
