Title: Before He Cheats
Post by: little_chick on May 02, 2010, 03:45:33 PM
This is my attempt at covering Carrie Underwood's hit song.  The vox is a bit pitchy, so I'll say ahead of time that I'm not responsible for any ear damage.  ;)

Thanks, guys!  Haven't done much guitar playing lately.  Been coaching my little girls' soccer team on top of doing Girl Scouts, so.... :(  I'm going to try to get back into the guitar stuff a lot more over the summer.

I always appreciate constructive criticizim.  In fact, TonyW got to me first about my sound levels.  I understand, now, the error of my ways.   ;D  Yeah, if you have a way of cleaning this up, I would welcome the assistance!

Okay, folks!  SwanSong worked some of his magic and cleaned up the recording a bit.  The vocals are much more clear and in stereo.  Thanks, Neil!

Good job, the vox didn't sound too pitchy to me. A couple of the backing parts and higher parts may be a little pitchy but your vocal style is really nice and you have a great vibrato going on and that carries the song well. Well done!

Cheers,

Nigel

I think you have a great style and unique vocal delivery, which is very cool in my book.

The vocal harmonies were great.
