Famous Blue Raincoat - Simon Alexander

I've just taken delivery of a TC Helicon Harmony G-XT, As I was itching to try it out I plugged it in, picked up a guitar, fiddled with a few settings on the harmony pedal, perched myself precariously on the end of the bed , and played something. Here's an (admittedly far from perfect) attempt at Leonard Cohen's Famous Blue Raincoat from my intial what can this pedal do experiments.

Thanks for your kind comment Joey. I set the GXT on default FX with just tone switching to a single octave harmony for the choruses. seemed the most appropriate for the song . Had to tweak the harmony levels down lower than I would have liked as on octave any slight rattle in my throat, which I could get away with at a lower register became quite noticable and jarring screech when pushed up an octave. I still have a lot to learn to wrpa my head around recording but I'm loving the G-XT pedal.

Really enjoyed checking this out Logan! I think I can hear some octaves in there?

Loved how you sold the lyric to the listener - nice vocals!

Best wishes,

Joey @ TC-Helicon
