Awesome @Eddie_09 !! I don’t think that I’ve ever heard that song sing by a guy before. It’s definitely a tricky one to sing and you did great with it! Nice, smooth guitar playing too.

Hello @Eddie_09 , what a surprising song choice :smiley:.
For expanding your vocal range it was definitely the right one. Such a challenge… But you really did well on it :clap::+1:. I also like the dynamics of your strumming. Really well done - thanks a lot for sharing :hugs:.

Nice one Eddie :smiley:
I was back in Dublin for the weekend so my Celtic heart strings are still tugging!

When you say expanding your vocal range, are you talking in the lower register here? If so you’re doing well. If you’re wanting to expand the higher notes, I think you could slap a capo on a couple of frets higher and see how you go.
I grabbed my guitar to strum along. What was the chord after the D? It looked like A minor without the index?
Keep 'em coming :sunglasses:

Thanks Brian. I was going for the higher notes so will try the capo out a couple of frets up. Thanks for the tip.
After the D I used an Asus2 chord ( your eagle eye spotted correctly that it was just the Am with the first finger taken off). With the C chord I added my pinky on the B string 3rd fret which I don’t think is the correct chord for the song but it sounded good so went with it. Actually I think the Asus2 should also be a regular A chord but I used some artistic license and again it sounded good so just rolled with it. :sunglasses:

Well done, Eddie! I thought that was great! Vocals sounding good to me and I love your restraint as well, it would be easy to go over the top on this one and take away from the emotional aspect. Great stuff! :clap::sunglasses::+1:

Hi Eddie,
Nice song :sunglasses: :clap:
I was about to say the same as Brian ( @brianlarsen 1)…although unfortunately I haven’t been to visit Dublin :smiling_face_with_tear:, and I always forget to mention the importance of the capo when I want to say something about improving/doing things differently with vocals and I knew about that A of course :face_with_raised_eyebrow:…so :grin:…Ooo ,i will stop now ,have a fantastic day :sunglasses:
Greetings…

Thanks Mark for your comments. It’s not a difficult one to play but not the easiest to sing. I mentioned above that I experimented with the chords and used Asus2 in place of A and added my pinky on the b string 3rd fret when playing C and it made it sound a little sweeter. Give it a go!

Thanks Roger! Always appreciate your comments. I haven’t been back to Dublin since last summer but hoping to go this year again. Dublin is pretty bad for my health though as I gorge myself on Guinness when I am there :joy: , and I like to visit my old pubs, but only for the live music of course :joy:.
