RecycleFest - Blitzkrieg Bop (Jazzy version - original by The Ramones)

[Redler]

Hello!

A couple days ago I got an crazy idea turn that punk rock classic upside down. I started strumming f#m6/bm6/c#6 chords instead of the original major chords and so it sounded a bit jazzy . Grazy!!! Nice. (Imagine those words said by the guy on the Fast Show's "welcome to the jazz club" :DD.  On the same time I thought it is time to record the first entire song on my BR-800. I have only tested it occasionally, so far.

The electro acoustic guitar (Martin 016) was recorded on acoustic via on board mics, but the lead was plucked in. I recorded the base line on that very same gtr, by using tight bass preset effect. On the vocals (It is Finnish accent  ) I switched the built in harmonizer on. The drum track is from BR-800 as well! Mixed on Audacity.

Thanks for the listening!

You've done it again  -   brilliant Kari. You always come up with something original.
I just love that bassline and sound.
So that is using an acoustic through the bass simulator on the Boss BR 800. Unbelievable.!!!!!

Yeah Kari, fantastic.  This really works, really grooves along.  And your choice to sing it in your Finnish accent, brilliant.  And your first full song on your BR-800, congrats man, and it really sounds great.

Brilliant take on this classic Ramones tune, Kari - love those jazzy, laid back tones!

All these BR-800 productions I've been hearing lately sound great.

Must.
Resist.
