Sweet Thing - a David Bowie cover by weirdogilly

[DarkGlassly]

Am learning this song myself at the moment, really good cover, kudos :)

[weirdogilly]

@DarkGlassly thank you, it's a real epic song eh? it's like a Walt Disney movie, just absolutely huge.

What are you learning it on, gtr? piano?

[DarkGlassly]

@weirdogilly Piano, although I'll probably add the guitar/sax parts using VST instruments. Sadly I can't sing :(

[weirdogilly]

@DarkGlassly i'll look forward to hearing it, and if you need someone to sing it for you : )

Enrique Seknadje. I thought he was French because of his accent. I might be wrong.  A woman plays the keyboard with him on this song and it is beautiful. But like I said, I'm glad you sang it because it gives a fresh sound.

[MrBustanutization]

so glad you covered this. I like the french dudes' cover, but I'm tired of listening to it. There aren't enough of you talented ones covering this masterpiece medley. thanks

@MrBustanutization Thank you for your kind comment, I just loved this song from the moment it crept into my life way back in 74, musically this Bowie song is a masterpiece and I just wanted to pay my respects by covering it with the same passion that David put into it. I know nothing could touch the original, but I gave it everything and felt every part as I sang and played it. I am not a great musician, in fact quite limited but I enjoyed playing all the instruments and just entered a trance :)

[weirdogilly]

@MrBustanutization PS. What French guy????

[Coldfireaudio]

Incredible.. really nice sound. Congrats, thoroughly enjoyable and a lot of hard work gone into it. Cubase can be brain numbing at times when you're getting the hang of it. Great vocals.

[weirdogilly]

@Coldfireaudio Ta very much for the nice comment. the funny thing was I dedicated it to you guys for inspiring me and giving me the kick up the arse to try using my recorder, but the day i uploaded it you guys dissapeared and closed your account lol.

All the best i love ur work

[weirdogilly]

[weirdogilly]

@backinnyc2010 How do u do ur backing? I'm using nuendo 4 and playing it all real time 'til i learn midi.but it takes a long time to do a whole song that 1 took me about 3 days lol
