Hi All,
It’s been a couple of months since I posted anything so thought I would upload this one. I am a big fan of the Verve and this is one of my favorites from them , especially the Richard Ashcroft acoustic version.
Thanks for listening.

Thank you Ian. I appreciate your comments and glad you enjoyed it.
We are playing well at the World Cup :rugby_football: but will need a bit of luck if we are going to go all the way. Enjoying the journey so far though.

Great stuff Eddie, I loved it. You just look so chilled whilst you play and sing and you always pick some cracking songs.

Always good to see another Eddie song pop up :grinning:
Like many, I’m only really familiar with the Verve’s Symphony and Drugs tunes, so good to expand my horizons.
It was probably the lumberjack shirt and solo acoustic but I was reminded of the Boss :wink:
I enjoy your strumming with hitting individual strings every now and then. Something to take note of.
I was wondering if it might be worth trying the capo a fret or two higher? You’re hitting all the notes bang on and in tune, but there may have been a drop in power when you go lower. It might just be me thinking what would suit my voice better though…
I don’t follow rugby at all and don’t understand many of the rules, but am enjoying the world cup nonetheless. Ireland has truly become a multicultural nation :rofl: :four_leaf_clover:

Well played and sung Eddie, that was an enjoyable listen. Your natural playing variations add a lot of life to the song.

Love the tone from your guitar too.

@brianlarsen Thanks Brian and I hope my choice of shirt didn’t detract from the performance :joy:. Ireland certainly has moved on from the old days. Heading back next week for a wedding so looking forward to spending some time on the auld sod again.

Thanks for sharing Eddie, I enjoyed it :+1:

Guess who contributed to that, even if just a little bit, almost exactly 30 years ago, for nearly a year. Great memories, I miss those times…

Guess who as well owns an Eastman :wink:

Thank you Franz. I have been away from Ireland now for about 25 years and even though I get back regularly there are things I miss.
I love my Eastman guitar. Lovely to play and has a nice tone.
Thanks for checking out my post!

Hey Eddie, I liked that a lot. Honestly I’ve always found Ashcroft’s style and voice quite depressing which you’ve busted with this recording!! Nice one :slight_smile:

You got the Verve vibe down to a T there Eddie, well played and sung. Not a song I’m all that familiar with but perhaps you could try the capo up a fret or two.

World Cup rugby. Who mentioned that? :smiley:

Cheers Gordon. I will try the capo up a fret and see how it goes. Brian also suggested the same. I appreciate the listen and especially the advice as these are the little things that make us better players.
No more rugby talk for now :+1:
