Hey Bytron, Community is so busy with AVOYPs that I’ve not been missed a few of yours … you are so prolific it’s tough to keep up :rofl:

I enjoyed the rhythm and energy of this one as usual.

I suggest you check your recording levels, certainly the final rendered audio from Vegas but maybe the incoming levels as well. You were over 7dB louder than the YT norm which is to be avoided as they then apply a limiter. Also thought I picked up some clipping/distortion at times.

Its all good!! :smiley: Thanks David Ill keep that in mind, maybe i need to lower the volume on my mic, that would help probably.

Good stuff. I played around with that riff when Justin’s lesson first came out. Thanks for sharing. You are definitely on your way with that one.

Nice job, Byron.

Thanks you two! :smiley:

Wow that’s a difficult one Byron. Very complex phrasing and strumming. You made a good job of it though and I enjoyed your version.

Nice one Byron. As Gordon has said, not an easy one to do. A nice mix of strumming and fingerstyle as well.

That was a great effort on a difficult song @Bytron08. Well played sir. :+1:

Thanks guys heres my second take on it with some lead hope you guys will like it! :smiley:

Byron,
Nice… I liked your doubled up vox, play and the roaming dog! Pretty good tone on the guitar too. You need to show us more of what you are doing. The mic covered up much of your strumming hand and the cam was a bit too close to catch you and the fretting hand. I know it is hard to get it just so though. But all in all, a fine job!

All the best to you,
LB

Hi Bytron:

I really loved this song when it came out-brings back great memories. When Justin introduced it as a lesson I added it to my list of songs to hopefully learn. I think you really did well with the rhythm of the song. The chords are fairly easy, just getting the riff in sync seems challenging to me. I like the microphone idea for recording videos. I think I need to do the same and get a microphone so people can better hear my vocals; not sure what kind to get yet.

Hello again figured i would do 2 songs this morning as i cant sleep lol. I do this a lil different and in my own way, hope you guys like it! :smiley: Wish You Were Here Cover - YouTube

Very nice! But you do look a bit tired! Hope you can catch up on the sleep later.

Good use of awake time, though and a smooth rendition. Thanks!

Wonderful playing Byron. You nailed that one.

You are quite prolific with you tunes and I was wondering if you have a top 5 campfire list that you do?

No I don’t but songs I know by heart that I could do at a campfire would be radioactive gold on the ceiling hero blue on black and maybe alright now

Ah Mr B, we always know what to expect when you perform. You are incredibly consistent and a really good rhythm guitarist. :slight_smile:

To me, this is a great song about being detached and not seeing things clearly. I view it as a cautionary tale of sorts. Stay passionate about life, see things clearly (yes, that again), connect with others, feel things and show some emotion.

Wow thanks CT for the encouragement! I look at this song as to just missing someone you love, hence wish you were here!!! Great song!!! But i get what your saying to guess it can go both ways!

You go with that, no worries. Play on playa!
