  • Counting Stars – One Republic

    My very imperfect rendition of this song. There is no way for me to meet the vocal or playing speed that they do, and my vocals and intonation differ from the original in several areas. This was such a fun one to work on (and the work continues to improve upon my transitions, speed and vocals.

    @Loraine , You are really stepping up your game with this song. I liked the picking and the strumming is spot on. Played with a lot of feeling. You caught the emotion of the song! Great Job!

      Always appreciate your input and positive support @Cadgirl . I was inspired by going to a One Republic concert. I love their music. I think that’s a big motivator – really feeling and loving a song.

    Wasn’t familiar with this one but you looked like you were having a grand old time getting into it. Good job.

      Thanks @albert_d A favorite for sure, and yes I was having fun. I really get into it sometimes when the cameras off, and those are the performances I wished I could play and post. That darn red light gets me every time.

      Thanks Marisa – someday I’ll be at a place where playing and singing aren’t as difficult for me. I do enjoy it – especially this song, which is one of my favorites. I just think things came so easily to you and you’ve run away with playing and singing, and I want to get to that place. 🙂
