The Rainbow Connection

Unread post by bsquared586 » Mon Nov 03, 2003 8:32 pm

Hello everyone. This is my new cover "The Rainbow Connection", heavily inspired by the Jason Mraz version. The guitar is only chord strumming for the most part, I focused more on voice. Tell me what you think. Thanks.

p.s. it's a little quiet, turn up the volume, I swear I'll get the mixing stuff right someday

wow dude, great freaking voice. awesome voice. you have a great old timey voice, you should try some 40's or 50's covers, you would have a superb voice for it. play was pretty good, nothing spectacular, but like you said, you were more focused on the vocals...and you could tell. wow, i think i may keep this one on my computer. i loved that falsetto you hit there at the end. great great freaking job. im quite impressed. i wanna hear more stuff from you.

Good cover, and very good voice. This is the critiquing forum so i do have a coulple things to say. First, you have the vocal part down so mabye work on the guitar part to make it have some kind of a rythmic pattern rather than just straight up and down. Also, I could just imagine how much better this would be if you had better recording quality. I can't give much help in this department, but mabye someone else can. Well, I'm done ranting, overall nice job!

the tab I used is from http://www.ultimate-guitar.com, go to kenny loggins and rainbow connection. I put a capo on the second fret to move it up a whole step. The little bit at the end I just figured out, it's based around an A barred chord and a D power chord.

I have to agree with Apps...great song and great singing. You have a great voice. The only thing is the recording quality isnt the best.
