The Byrds - Eight Miles High - vocal & guitar cover (152)

Great cover Dad & Lad, well done always loved this song and you do excellent version.

[readyeddy101]

@mrbeigan Thank you my friend. You are very kind.

Great cover. Very good audio mix (stereo panning) and arrangement. Not many people have the guts to cover this song. I think I have the only drum cover on YT. 

[readyeddy101]

@rhythmantic Thanks Sal. After we recorded it my son Paul commented that he wasn't supposed to play a solo after the 1st verse. I told him "so what, it sounded good and that is our version". I was pleasantly surprised with the stereo panning. I can't take any credit for it though because I did no mixing. Whatever caused it to sound like that was a fluke. Maybe a setting in the digital camera audio got changed. I will have to look at the camera audio settings. I will check out your drum cover.

@readyeddy101 That's right Nick, you instruct your son well. Make it your own.

Bravo Gentlemen!!!! It's sounds really great!!!! Very, very nice lead breaks Paul!!!!

[readyeddy101]

@classican Thanks Pete....Paul read your comment and thanks you....He is talking about putting up a YT channel...He has a liking for jazz as I know you do...you two are in another stratosphere when it comes to playing the guitar. I am happy just to be able strum the chords and sing. It's a whole different side of the coin for me from drumming and I really enjoy it.....You keep rocking my friend. BTW very very nice guitar work in the Gypsy collab with Karen....Nick

[cliff250]

hey good job. i have never heard this song before, who is it by?

[SonorSonicFan]

@cliff250 The Byrds

[readyeddy101]

@cliff250 Hey Cliff..Thanks...a rock/folk group from the '60's and '70's. Their lyrics were pretty cool. This was a time of drug experimentation, Vietnam war, hippies and alot of things so some of their lyrics relate to some of this stuff. Roger McGuinn played a 12 string electric and helped give the band its unique sound. He still plays today. Check them out on YT and I'll bet you will recognize 2 major hits they had Turn, Turn, Turn and Mr. Tamborine Man ... Nick
