My FAWM Challenge Album - Songs For Swingin Old Peeps - Finished!

[AndyR]

Impressionnant!......as these are vocal/guitar songs, can I try sticking a Dobro guitar or Weiseenborn guitar track on one of your songs?

Many thanks for asking first

All fourteen have already moved into full-band recording processes here (I had to restrain myself from exploring that during FAWM, otherwise I'd never have got it finished!) - some more than others... and I'm not sure how many of them will get to the end of it!

But I'd have no objection to you taking one of / any of raw these demos on, especially if you're only posting on songcrafters.

If you're posting further afield, please add a link back to the demo's home page on alonetone.

Hello Andy

just a try on your song If somebody Noticed

it's easy because it's in G and dobro is tuning in G

if you agree...I'll continue 

[AndyR]

Really cool slide tone!

You're getting the 3rd chord wrong though: it's a B7, not a D, leading into the Em. The important note/harmony is a D# there, not a D natural.

Here's all the chords:

If Anybody Noticed

G   G   C   C
B7  B7  Em  Em
G   G   C   C
B7  B7  Em  Em
Am7 D7  G   C
Am  D7  C   D

Thanks for the tuning grid Andy,... yes indeed there is a B7, ..but I'll take it back I did this test like that "on the fly".

I'll do it again this afternoon in full...I think the dobro goes well in this song

Yes, the dobro goes really well on this version, doesn't it? It's making me wonder about the arrangement I've got in mind.

After I posted I thought - can't believe he missed that, it's exactly the sort of changes that would grab him, I wonder how/why he did?

It didn't cross my mind about "on the fly" ... I do it too, but I NEVER post something unless I'm sure I'd addressed everything to the level I was either aiming at or thought I could reach.

These acoustic demos are as close to "on the fly" as I'll do for public postings... and most of them were:

• Written "day 1" and recorded into phone to not forget, possibly in sections.
• Learnt/rehearsed "day 2-3 or 4" from those phone demos while writing the next songs.
• Recorded at weekend in batches: approximately 2 hours per song including 10-20 takes each then post-processing on the take I was "almost ok on".
• Posted the finished ones before I could change my mind!

- that's about as "on the fly" as I get!

[Jean Pierre]

I repeat my first opinion: ...impressive work!

I'm adding the dobro again this afternoon...a little less "on the fly" ..in my "on the fly version", there were a lot of timing errors.

the next version will be much better!...

[hooper]

A very enviable amount of output in 14 days and all the way maintaining a very respectable level of attention to quality. And an impressive work ethic!

[Jean Pierre]

here's my complete  version of this song from your impressive work, which I like very much...
Would you allow me to publish it in my series "Containment Musical Workshop With Friends All Around The World"?...I'd be very honored to do so.

Sounds cool

Yep, no problem. If possible add a link to the original song demo's alonetone page: https://alonetone.com/andyr/tracks/if-anybody-noticed-(acoustic-demo)

Oh, and the title is "If Anybody Noticed"
