@Bill_Brown I know you said electric Rock songs would be ok for me to post but with the people shift of the site not so much so you can check out my Rock music efforts on my You Tube channel. I probably wont be posting electric rock here. I know you might have a better like for it. I renamed it to get around copyright issues but it is Realy Bryan Adams Summer of 69

I missed the 60,s not by much and the tapes I bought were always old and greatest hits or best of something. Biggest bang for a buck multiple hits instead of 1 or 2. So I almost wore out my CCR tape never thought I would ever play sing them so glad I pursued music again. You can relate more to the Summer of 69 song post I did here Thanks for listening in and commenting glad you did.

Thanks @albert_d that was exactly what I was shooting for a campfire song rendition. So thanks my friend for letting me know I hit the mark.

[KevinZ]

Nice job @Loraine never heard that one but like the fun story songs getting all the lyrics right is a chore so kudos to you.

[KevinZ]

Same thing we used to cruze

the drag music was always 5 to 10 years behind @albert_d took me awhile to catch up so to speak. Thanks for listening in and commenting.

Thanks @Braden realy like John Denver songs getting to perform them is a pure joy glad you commented and let me know I did it justice.

[KevinZ]

Your welcome @peter_m I hope it helps I wished I could play better also finaly starting to get there. This is how I am getting it done . Now comes the fun creative time

[KevinZ]

Thanks @Bill_Brown the jump from Elvis style to CCR took me awhile to get down. Now that I can do it. Rock music is in my grasp my goal see if I can mix up both. Also did Friends In Low Places so country twang is in my grasp. Did Im So Lonesome I could cry Hank style Opens up many songs and multiplys my challenge with music ten fold. I know it sounds silly but I want to dip my toes in all those waters and do it all again with piano and have it sound good. Not to high a bar to set ha ha. But I never stop learning have setbacks but love to push it. Thanks for listening in and commenting Bill very glad you did.

Thanks @peter_m I would like to pay forward some advice. I struggled with the beat seems like forever they say use a metronome. I tried but singing knowing the chords keeping time was to much for my brain hand dexerity issues. So I rethought how can I get over this 1st I learned stumming in 2/4 3/4 4/4 6/8 played simple chords or muted the guitar. Until I could get that down then I worked on finger pick patterns doing the same thing with flat and finger pick. Then I got some advice buy a drum app but that didnt have what I wanted chords drum other instruments. Tried playing with bands but they dont like having novice skilled people. So I researched found Chordify it plays the tracks in time from the original along with vocals. Shows chords and keyboard layout and has drums and other instruments. Strum with the track first until the chord changes strumming match the track. When I get that far I work on vocals by memory then do the whole song by memory and how it sounds to me. Some I do acoustic some electric rock effects when I get all of that I decide acoustic electric or piano. I use the music to make my mind work throw in some improv note solos and start to post some I get in 3 tries some take way more before I get a postworthy take. Music is a journey I hope by telling you this you dont go through all the frustration I did. So thanks for listening in and commenting hope it helps.

That was the intent @Bill_Brown sing a little Elvis use Jim Reeves key and part vocals keep the 3/4 time cleanly. Thanks for letting me know I got there.

[KevinZ]

You got it @albert_d he did that verse at all the live concerts and when played in bars they chant it as a joke. Thanks for listening in and commenting.

Thanks @albert_d I did electrical instrumentation public utilities for 35 years 8months worked many hrs with the linecrew. Always long hrs and longing to be home instead of callouts. Just always related to the song made a campfire version the original had way more instruments than I had. So I unplugged it campfired it nice to know I didnt miss the mark. Thanks for listening in and commenting.Glad you did
