Alice in Chains Nutshell homage

I plan to do my rendition of this song, but for now here is me on the right and the original song on the left

Layne was probably the greatest rock vocalist ever!

 

Lucid, I just tried it, it works. You might have to let it load a bit? Oh yeah, it is "Cary" not Gary.

 

thanks guys, I was 1/2 or more into a bottle of wine then heard Nutshell and got all vibed to do it at 2 am. It isn't perfect, but it is VIBED! Imo, anyway...
I will do my version or in not too long. This particular clip, I felt I hung my ballz out there, more than if I did a gtr/ solo vox rendition because the right side is ONLY me, no music to hide or blend in with -if one listens to the right speaker only. THe more I practice and record my takes at Layne's songs, them more I realize how much more work will be involved.... Most of all, his all out WALL of sound scream are pretty much IMPOSSIBLE to replicate.... when I try those screams aka would etc, I end up sounding more Hetfield or something.... oh well!


Rock on!

 

THanks guys

 

THanks Lucid! Glad you liked it. It is rough, no edits, but I just liked the vibe.
THat night the song got my inspired and depressed at the same time. I wanted to record that emotion quickly for the vibe. I have learned quickly over the last 3 months or so, that vocal tracks are even harder to capture the magic, attitude and character than say with a performance on guitar.
If I am playing Eruption, I am never happy with the performances, always feel I can improve upon it, but it always is pretty consistent. However with vocals, the slightest hesitation, mis pronounciation etc makes a track sometimes useless. I haven't really got into comping tracks yet. If I had tracks from a band, and they had problems I would maybe NEED to comp to fix things up. With myself, I can just redo the whole performance. It is easier.
Yes, Cantrell layering of tracks and the choice of chords right at the very beginning of the solo ------- is amazing in tone and perfect for the feel of the song in a complimentary way. I can't explain it, but wow! What a mix of harmonic crunch! The part if I were to stick my neck out on a silly abstract idea, that part reminds me of being 16-18 years old, dusk at summer, beer, cigarettes... and/or alternatively makes me think of the smell of gasoline, and the sense of a engine. Again, I don't really know why, but those were images that I got I whenever I hear it. I will say this if it invokes our senses: smell, images, memories or even taste then the ART: performance of instr and or vocals or the painting, drawing or literature was successful.
Funny, it is always different for everyone...the invoking that is...
I think Layne said in an interview, kinda of impatiently with the interviewer, regarding a songs meaning: if you think that our song means this, then that is what it means. That is actually correct, imo. That why great songs like these, still live and breathe and change. I mean, many already opening up: saying wow, what a great song, brings up so many memories etc....

I hope I will writing a few of the type of songs in the future. Really, that will be my success in music, if I can accomplish that...money or not.
