Such a nice rendition. I dig the harmonics. Looks like you are plucking the string with the hand you are doing the harmonics with? Thats cool. I think Justins lesson on the police song “Cant stand losing you” is the one that he shows this technique. Very very neat technique.

Thank you. It’s called "artificial harmonics ".

Hi Deborah @GrumpyMac this is such a lovely thread! Here is my contribution - an old German Christmas song, with its own Wikipedia page: Leise rieselt der Schnee - Wikipedia
Had to dust it off first and practise the Am to Dm change … then had to sort out the dead batteries in my pickup … but hey Christmas period runs till 6th of Jan, doesn’t it?

Hi Molly! A beautiful rendition of a traditional German song! I sang it every year together with my parents as a child. I guess, you are a native speaker :wink:?
Thanks for posting!

Hi Tosh, thanks for posting! Nicely played and sung!
I learned this one too for this year, I love those Elvis tunes a lot!

Why thank you…thank you very much, Gordon-also spoken in an Elvis voice) :rofl:

Thanks Helen. Me too. Elvis had so many good ones - especially if you’re mainly a singer / strummer like me. Maybe I’ll have to do some more Elvis soon.

Hey all ,
I like what you did here. I used to love the recording projects around Christmas on that forum.
Sorry I am joining the party a bit late, I should come to the forum more often. but here is my contribution : Elvis - santa claus is back in town
Just a little snap I put on my instagram of a live song we did last month for a tribute show to Elvis. It’s not my actual band. We created a temporary band just for that show (the drummer actually joined only one week before the show, crazy ! ).

@TheMadman_tobyjenner and @batwoman : nice one we did on that slade cover. Geez I had forgotten about that one. Sounds pretty cool. I hope you are both alright and keep playing nice music.

Happy new year to all. I hope I’ll post more music on the internet this year and have more to share with you all.

Kev
