CSNY cover

[dd12939]

Here is a cover I did this evening of "Find the Cost of Freedom." Guitar rig was Gibson SG (Jazz neck) -> GT-6 -> Peavey Classic 50/50 -> (Bag End S12R-D) and (Fender Princeton 65 1x12 cab) I did two rhythm tracks, with the GT-6 set up for acoustic sim -> twin -> EQ. One was recorded with a Horizon brand mic on the Fender cab and the other was recorded with my Radio Shack mic on the Bag End. The lead was (acoustic sim -> EQ) and recorded with the same mic/cab setup, just in one take instead of two.
There are 6 vocal tracks: each harmony part recorded on each of the two aforementioned mics. The vocal melody parts are panned 20% right/left, middle parts are 50% and high parts are 75%.

Please excuse the few timing issues and the lousy lead... I didn't want to cop the original because I like putting my mark on things, so i just made that one up as I went.
Hope you like it!

Re: CSNY cover

Thanks for the comments, bros! I've always fancied myself a better singer than guitarist, though the latter is more fun.. There are a lot of things my voice doesn't work for, so it's great to find something that it does work for. After further listening, I'm pretty pleased with the lead I laid down too. I basically jammed over the progression for about half an hour before I came up with something I was satisfied with. It's great to get some feedback from people that don't have tp say that it's good too!

For what it's worth - from someone who's been there, lived it, saw them live - well you get the point - I thought this was great - actually brought a tear to my eye. Thank you for doing that - and doing it so well. I can't which was better - guitar or vocals...

Re: CSNY cover

It was a great cover, they played it when I saw them live and this still wowed me.

The only 'problem' is that there arent 4 of you with seperate voices (CSNY style), but nothing can be done about it, otherwise, great cover, great playing too.
