Learning To Fly - Robbomac cover Tom Petty

[Johnny Robbo]

When I recently got my acoustic, Kenny suggested covering this song as a bit of a showcase for it. It's a great song & Kenny (as always) does a superb job on the vocals. With any cover he sings, he always manages to capture something of the spirit of the original, but still makes it his own... a rare gift.

As for my part in this, all the usual suspects present & correct...

Cakewalk SI Drums
eBay no-name bass
Tele, and...
4 tracks of acoustic.

I took Farrell's advice and recorded it both DI from the piezo pickup and mic'd it up with a Samson Go-mic. So... there's the open chords both DI'd & mic'd as well as a capo'd version both DI'd & mic'd

Hope you like it & thanks for the listen

Totally agree with you!

Four tracks of acoustic guitar gives a real full sound to this!

Excellent job by both of you! One of the best songs from Tom Petty!

Nice one Johnny and Kenny. Very well put together track. Acoustic sounds ace.

[Kenneth]

Nice recording guys. Pleasantly surprised at how good you have got this. Really shows the pros that you are.
Not sure if you have seen his story on Netflix, but it is a good watch.
