Steemit Open Mic Week 49 'Tell Her This' Del Amitri Cover

clintjunior (54)in #openmic • 7 years ago

I finally won a Steemit Open Mic! A couple of weeks ago I came 1st place (must have been a quiet week...!) with an original song, I was so happy when I found out.

So this week I've relearned an old gem from 90s Scottish rock band Del Amitri. My dad used to play this album when I was a kid, and then about a year ago this song came on in a bar in town and I suddenly remembered how much I loved it - so I learned it.

But when I performed it at an open mic last Summer and forgot the lyrics, I got discouraged and for some reason I just stopped trying to play it. But I'm really enjoying it now so please don't crush my spirit because there is a bum note in there somewhere!

Please upvote/follow/resteem, and thanks for listening!

Hey David, I'm good thanks! How are you doing? The guitar is tuned to DADGAD, so it has a very dreamy blend to it. =) Thanks for the kind words bro.

👏👏👏 Nice one Clint. I am a Del Amitri fan and you covered this well mate.

I always think that those who dwell on bum notes have too much time on their hands and they should hear some of my earlier Pedal Steel recordings! 😉

Fantastic once again @clintjunior . That voice of yours :) There is a central core to your sound that lets you cut right through the guitar. Loud or soft your sound is right there. This great core lets you lay out your emotional subtleties over it. Fantastic gift you have there.
Keep making your music @clintjunior
