I selected this song as it is slow and has a limited tonal range (my voice has not more than 1-1 1/2 octave range) and is mainly sung on the chord changes wich makes its easier to hit the right notes.

Arjen, the rumor is that is was the king Henry VIII that wrote the words and music for this song.
You can find my background version here http://www.thebards.net/music/lyrics/Greensleeves_Medley.shtml

If you listen carefully to my recording you will hear digital recording artefacts in several places.
I have problem to find the right input level to my cheap soundcards and I found that a voice recording is much more sensitive for digital artefacts than a guitar recording.]]> Hear Here Kalle_in_Sweden https://guitarnoise.forum/hear-here/greensleeves-my-first-singing-attempt/#post-152380 https://guitarnoise.forum/hear-here/greensleeves-my-first-singing-attempt/#post-152356 Mon, 16 Jan 2006 06:01:41 +0000
Nice job. Not much advice, I did think your guitar playing sounded good and you have a good voice maybe just need to practice a bit more...overall very nice keep it up.]]> Hear Here cnev https://guitarnoise.forum/hear-here/greensleeves-my-first-singing-attempt/#post-152356 https://guitarnoise.forum/hear-here/greensleeves-my-first-singing-attempt/#post-152333 Mon, 16 Jan 2006 03:57:35 +0000 Hear Here Ignar Hillström https://guitarnoise.forum/hear-here/greensleeves-my-first-singing-attempt/#post-152333 https://guitarnoise.forum/hear-here/greensleeves-my-first-singing-attempt/#post-152325 Mon, 16 Jan 2006 03:37:53 +0000
Cutting the throat might be a little premature as you have only tried it once with a captive audience .. :wink: :wink:

Keep doing it drop into SSG Sunday Song Writters and post your very own MP3 of your original work ..

You can do 2 things that I can't already thats sing and play guitar ..

Well done

Its the first verse of the traditional song Greensleeves.
I recorded it in KAE.
I first imported a brobdingnagian bards recording(in Dm) into one track in KAE , then I recorded the acoustic guitar track and after that the vocal track. I then added some compression and reverb to the guitar and compression and EQ to vocal.
Then I exported the guitar and vocal tracks to Audacity where I converted the wave file to MP3.

What do think you of this singing and guitar playing attempt ?
Shall I cut my throat...]]> Hear Here Kalle_in_Sweden https://guitarnoise.forum/hear-here/greensleeves-my-first-singing-attempt/#post-14676
