Shine by Mondo Cozmo

I have been wanting to learn this song for a long time, like over a year, and for some reason was intimidated by it. After my open mic, I decided I need to add some songs to the repertoire so I can play at another one and decided to add this to list. Once I got over the intimidation, it wasn’t all that hard.

My guess is most of you have never heard of Mondo Cozmo. I hadn’t either until this song popped up on either my Pandora or Spotify a few years ago and I just dig the groove. I’m not religious at all, I just really like the song.

Yes, it’s a nice song, and so is your performance. Your 12-string sounds absolutely awesome.

I hadn’t heard of Mondo Cozmo either, so now I do and I’ve seen and heard your cover of his song. Many thanks for sharing, you have done it well, Joe.

Thank you @twistor59, @Coda, and @Willsie, I appreciate it. The twelve string has been my go to for the past month or so. I do try to cycle between it, my Taylor six string and my Gretsch hollow body (typically unplugged) but have been getting most enjoyment out of the 40 year old twelve string I got my senior year of high school.

Nice 16ths note strumming at uptempo! I can see why you liked the song. And well done to attack the intimidation head-on!

Thanks Molly! I appreciate it.

I dunno, a BIG smile just appeared upon my face, of its own volition.
You got it. Singing, playing, and nailing it–all at the same time too!

Thanks for that!

Hi Joe ,
Nice playing and singing :smiling_face_with_sunglasses: :clap:

I pressed play and started cleaning up something around me and throwing it away in the paper bin when I was wondering something towards the end… and then I went to look and saw the 12 string…OOOooo very nice :grinning_face_with_big_eyes:

Greetings

Thanks BC. I am glad it brought a smile to your face. That’s one of the best compliments I could receive.

Thanks Michel. The backup singer says “HOWLLLL” :dog_face:

Thanks Hec.

Thanks Roger. I love the 12 string. It was my first “real” guitar. There have been times when I listened to a song, sometimes one I have heard a thousand times, and finally think - Hey that sounds like a 12 string. I then go on a mission to find out if my hunch is correct.
