Stardust.....using HCSE.

[chris68]

Hi, having listened to Kurts rendition of 'Somewhere' earlier this evening I got the overwhelming desire to try my hand at recording a ballad. Stardust is a fave of mine, and I know I probably veer a little away from the original ...and my recording gear isn't so great I have learned too ..... but still I hope you enjoy my version. It's 1 30 in the morning ( I hope my neighbour enjoyed it too haha)

Your neighbour should have enjoyed it Chris as I did very much at 3am

Hi Chris
An excellent version of Stardust. Very smooth playing and a lovely sound from your set up. I really enjoyed it.
Kind regards.

Hi Chris,
Excellent rendition of this beautiful tune. Great sound and very well played!
May I ask you which patch number and BT you used? Thanks.
Regards.

Thanks Sandra , what on earth were you doing up at 3 am ?   haha .....glad you enjoyed the tune

[chris68]

Thanks Neil and Claude, I'm pleased you both enjoyed the tune ...... I really like the Nat King Cole version too. The patch used was p56 and BT is UB Hank vol 1.

Cheers,

Chris

H Chris,

Very nicely played with excellent sounds, liked your minimal use of the swell pedal.

Kind regards,


Chris

[chris68]

Thanks Chris , that tune lends itself to the pedal but like you say it's best not to get too carried away

It is the best time to do stuff without getting interrupted by phone calls or visitors Chris

Hi Chris
This is another one where I can honestly say it is one of the best played versions I've ever heard and the sound is absolutely perfect.
Best wishes
Rosemary

[chris68]

Thanks Rosemary, glad you like it. I do really like this one myself.  

[Kurt Fröberg]

That was excellent, Chris!

Hi Chris,
Very nice playing with a lovely melodic sound.

Also one of my favourites. Many regard this as one of the best popular tunes ever written.

Only 2 suggestions, neither of which are to do with the quality of your playing.

As others have said, this deserves better video/audio/lighting quality .. most of us are not your average 'drug crazed' Facebook users watching on 4" screens with crappy earplugs and fingers poised on "Like".

Duplicate your posts in the Members only Sound File section where you will receive many more views and possible suggestions.

Regards
George

[chris68]

Thanks George, I will post it in the members area as you suggest. I really like this song, particularly by Nat King Cole  but the Shadows version was actually the first I ever heard as I listened to very little else as a child. When I play it these days I am actually thinking the lyrics as I play which may come through in the phrasing. I am glad you like my rendition of it and I agree my facilities for recording are not the greatest right now.
