TMV World Legacy Member wabba_treads Posted March 3, 2014 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted March 3, 2014 Hey guys,It's been a while since I posted anything in this section. I've been yearning to have a song to test my upper range and I just couldn't think of the right one; then just like that Highway Star comes on the radio (while I'm driving to college in my Chevy Aveo). Eureka! That definately takes the cake. That song is certainly a challenge.Thank you all for listening and being a terrific world audience! Big shout out to everyone who took the CIT challenge. You guys all rocked it!Now to set the bar really low here's my take P.S I would really love to hear all of your takes, fellow TMV members. This song is chock-full of fun.Many blessings, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMV World Legacy Member ronws Posted March 3, 2014 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted March 3, 2014 'Ooh, she's a killer machine. She's got everything..." You've got a great tone, throughout. Just need a little mix between the low and high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMV World Legacy Member ronws Posted March 3, 2014 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted March 3, 2014 Alright, Jens. That band was tight. The drummer, especially. Pulling simultaneous patterns. Then, later, a double time with what sounded like double bass kick drums, am I right? Demonic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMV World Legacy Member jonpall Posted March 6, 2014 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted March 6, 2014 JENS I LOVED THAT ONE!!! One of my favorite songs of all time and it totally rocked. If I have any critique it would be to lighten the sound colour just a tad bit in the verses. But you can sing it however the hell you want Cheers. Btw. don't you find it a bit hard to be a singer in a band that has many long guitar solos? Fortunately I'm now in a band where I do the long guitar solos myself . Btw. I thought that your vocals were excellent and that you're one of the strongest members in the band actually. I hope be able to cover this song with my band soon (and play both solos in the song, on my guitar, lol). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also thanks for the compliments, warms my heart Btw if you pull off the vocals and the solos of this il marry you lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMV World Legacy Member wabba_treads Posted March 7, 2014 Author TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted March 7, 2014 I have an easier time with embeds. . Fantastic job all around! Including you Jens You guys just all had incredible chemistry. The rhythm section was jamming, that guitarist was smoking, and you were wailing dude! I sure hope your bands on tour by now Thanks for all the feedback and support everyone! I think I still have a long way to go, recording wise. It almost sounds like my mic has no Mid-range frequency, and it makes my voice sound too dopey for some reason. Right now I'm using audacity. Is there any way to adjust the EQ to fix this?

Moderator & Review Specialist Gsoul82 Posted April 24, 2015 Moderator & Review Specialist Share Posted April 24, 2015 I've been talking to a few people about this. The All of Me Challenge has been something really cool that brought the forum together. It's been nice to see people come out of their comfort zone and attempt something that they aren't used to attempting, whether they tried to sing the song R&B style or they took the song and tried to sing it in a way that feels natural to themselves. Both of these tasks are tricky things to do.I thought it would be pretty cool if we did this every month. We could vote on a genre each month and choose a song to attempt. Each month would be a different genre. Also, it's important to note that this isn't a contest where somebody wins at the end. Think of it as a forum-wide project where everyone will be approaching something new quite often. You may even find something new in your voice that you like while trying to attempt the monthly challenge. So, who's interested?We would start in May, but it's important to make a topic about a week beforehand so that we have time to deal with genre selection and song selection, which might be a tricky decision to make in itself. We may have to use some random song finder that will find songs in a particular genre.I'm thinking maybe even use one of those radio apps that will find songs from the genre you want to listen to.This month, we already did R&B, so lets find something else.R&B-Motown-Doo-wop-Neo-Soul-Funk Country-Bluegrass-Rockabilly Blues-Electric Blues-Old School Blues-Blues Rock-Delta Rock-Hard Rock-Alternative Rock-Punk Rock-British Rock-Indie Rock Pop-Bubble Gum Pop (60's and 70's)-Teen Pop-Euro Pop Folk-Celtic Folk-Indie Folk Classical-Opera-Baroque-Chant MetalDO NOT TRY TO SING THESE SONGS EXACTLY LIKE THE ORIGINAL ARTIST IF YOU HAVE NOT MASTERED DISTORTION. TECHNIQUES USED IN THESE SONGS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE. IF IT HURTS, STOP. -Death Metal-Heavy Metal Jazz-Bebop-Latin Jazz-Big Band-Swing Gospel Reggae (Let me know if I'm forgetting a genre here.) 1 "Quitters Never Win" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMV World Legacy Member KillerKu Posted April 24, 2015 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted April 24, 2015 This is a cool idea that I'm game for but you are forgetting a genre: Jazz, and more jazz. That will really challenge you guys. I has the most intricate phrasing, interval leaps and improvisational usage. That'd really get most of you out of your comfort zone and I'd bomb out too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMV World Legacy Member hobbit rock Posted April 24, 2015 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted April 24, 2015 Gospel would be a pretty legit genre to consider. Also classic 60s soul (Stax and Motown). It doesn't get any beltier than that. I'm thinking Wilson Pickett here. Also jazz standards. Great American songbook kind of stuff. Maybe not a lot of high notes but definitely some tricky intervals. This is a great idea by the way.

Moderator & Review Specialist Gsoul82 Posted April 24, 2015 Moderator & Review Specialist Share Posted April 24, 2015 Yeah, clearly I'm being very general with the genre stuff. I don't know how I left out jazz, I was just thinking about it, lol. I didn't mention old school soul because I figured that would fit into R&B, but of course I'm a soul man who wouldn't mind that. Let's see what some other people are interested in and them we'll vote I guess. "Quitters Never Win" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMV World Legacy Member MDEW Posted April 24, 2015 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted April 24, 2015 You left out BlueGrass too... Seriously talk about high tenor notes... Just kidding........Too many Genres to choose from...... Good idea though....sounds like fun... "You need a strong foundation to reach the heights."

TMV World Legacy Member MDEW Posted April 24, 2015 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted April 24, 2015 I was going to mention genres from other countries in my post on Bluegrass.....

Moderator & Review Specialist Gsoul82 Posted April 24, 2015 Moderator & Review Specialist Share Posted April 24, 2015 Edited the list. I figured, why not do sub-genres? And I have no objection to doing international music if everyone else is okay with it. "Quitters Never Win" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should all be forced to learn a foreign language song at least once and pronounce everything wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
