JUDY BLUE EYES, THE SUITE

[Jean Pierre]

Well, I had started so I had to finish

it's a huge challenge to cover alone this mythical song of CSN Y, so as a colleague of SC says "it is what it is, I did what I could". 

Nevertheless, this incredible and unproven EEEEBE tuning dear to Stephen Still is worth a try

mon Dieu... c'était ambitieux, c'est le moins qu'on puisse dire. Tu as apporté un grand sourire sur mon visage. J'aime entendre les accents et il faut du courage pour chanter dans une autre langue. Je sais que tu l'as déjà fait mais j'applaudis ton courage de prendre ça sur JP.. Je trouve ça assez délicieux... c'est bizarre par endroits, mais seulement parce que je connais bien l'orig... cette chanson du tout et je l'ai entendue je dois dire que c'est vraiment bien...


golly man... this was ambitious to say the least.  You brought a big smile to my face.  I like to hear accents and it takes some guts to sing in another language.  I know that you have before but I applaud your courage to take this on JP.. I find this quite delightful... it's weird in spots, but only because I know the orig well.... but if I didn't know this song at all and heard it I would have to say this is really good...

[Mike_S]

Great singing JP, those great harmonies you have done CSNY proud here. I have only recently the last 2 or 3 years started discovering CSNY as when I was a kid I was more interested in heavy rock. Better late than never!

[Jean Pierre]

Thanks Mike and Stephen, I recognize that it is of an excessive ambition and pretension but once started it was really a personal challenge to finish. Disassociating the 3 chorus voices of CSN is quite difficult especially as I said to isolate the medium voice of Crosby who, although he had a very powerful voice (listen to Almot cut my air, for example) was very discreet in the chorus

I just hope that listening to my version will make the younger ones want to listen to the original of this beautiful song

I have put the complete version in a pseudo video on you tube which gives a global idea of the song

PS strangely as I did the song in two times I don't have quite the same sound in the voices in both parts, I find the sound of the first part better?

Hi Jean,

Well done, my friend!!!
Thanks for sharing.

You've definitely got CSN under your skin!  Another great tribute. This song it must be very hard to pull off vocals, and harmonies, but you did!  Crazy guitar tuning - I would have no idea how to play that!  Great respect for your guitar skills! The analog percussion is also a nice touch!  Overall wonderful!

[TPB]

CSN was always my favorite and you have done this cover great justice
Bravo Tim

[Jean Pierre]

Thanks friends...I must admit that without the melodyne correction it would have been a monstrous poop  ;RÉ

As for the EEEEBE tuning, for Doug, it's a very modal tuning since there is no third, it's a bit like a power chord of rock , hard rock E5
....
CSN also used it for Carry on, ...and many other songs

[BerryPatch]

Very cool JP, you do CSN well! I never knew this song was in such a weird tuning. I'll have to try it myself! The addition of bongos is sweet here too.

[Jean Pierre]
