A Little Holiday Recording...

Unread post by captainburrito » Sun Dec 10, 2006 12:16 pm

Hey Everybody! I was feeling in the holiday spirit yesterday, and decided to give my favorite christmas song a try. The recording is a little bit rough in my opinion, but hey, that isn't what Christmas is all about, is it? Happy Holidays!

Hey thanks for listening! I like my Christmas songs a little bit faster and less boring, like BNL's version of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen." Good stuff. I pretty much used the chords that I found here:

I just used open chords until I towards the end where I threw some barre chords in. Nothing to fancy. Oh, and since I am too lazy to actually play them fancy chords, I just played an open G instead of G7.

Dude, my FAVORITE Christmas song, and I don't have many, 'cause I HATE Christmas music. I love it, I love how it's got a beat to it, and I've always been a fan of the sound of your voice. Rock on dude. Fantastic work. :thumbsup:

Thanks a lot guys! Your comments really mean a lot to me. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas (or whatever you happen to celebrate).

Oh, and a created a myspace page with this song and another christmas song on it. Very festive. Check it out and leave me some love if you want to.

I like this Dream Theater's version too (although voice is probably too high...)

I just noticed your location. The summer before I started grad school I did some work for a software company that designs software for doctors offices. One of our clients was a cardiologist office in lubbock, so I had to spend a week out there. I'm not going to lie...it wasn't the most exciting city I've evern been to.

As for the song, I thought it was really good. The guitar was great and original, but I especially like the voice.

Yeah, it is a struggle here in Lubbock. Sometimes i just paint stuff so I can watch it dry. It isn't too bad for med school though, with the complete lack of distractions there is almost nothing to do but study. Thanks a lot for the comments dude!

Really enjoyed this. Very original voice and I love how you arranged the strumming pattern.

A few flat vocals points, but this song is very hard to sing and I really admire the way you approached this and pulled it off.

Be excellent to one another.

one of the few christmas songs i like :) i downloaded this a long time ago and forgot to listen :oops:

cool guitar part, really made it sound cool. your vocals are flat on the high notes. really try to sit back and belt those notes.

not bad man, i enjoyed it. your nailed the "night" high note :) sounded great.
