This - Believe it or not (LOL) was a quick recording using my Epiphone Dot335 (Unplugged) just to get the vocals down before I 'forgot' them.  Rough chords and layout.  Just wanted to remember the tune!

Well - This is the first attempt at putting all the bits together - I know, It needs redoing!  The guitar is awful and the singing needs reworking too.... But, I hope you like how it's coming along - A work in progress!  ;o)

MyTown1 95bpm

Thought these three tracks sound very similar!  I was worried about three notes of my version of My Town sounding like something else...

Here's my latest version - Slowly getting there - Got to re-record the vocal.  But I'm much happier with the guitar now.  

MyTown V2 95bpm

This is my latest version (Still with the weird wobbling vocals - I will re-record them  :o)

I was pleased with how the bridge works both in the song and as an intro.  The bridge then becomes a re-visit to the intro which seems pleasing to me.

I'm happy with this as a first attempt at writing a song.  I'm also pleased to say that, apart from the drum track, I recorded the instruments and sang myself ;o)

Thanks to FutureLearn and all my fellow students for their support, encouragement and suggestions in making this track.

I'm happy with this as a first attempt at writing a song. I'm also pleased to say that, apart from the drum track, I recorded the instruments and sang myself. Reverb was done by adding an identical vocal track and retarding it by very slightlyness... ;o) ;o)

After all that production I decided to do a relaxed version just using a click track and the guitar at 80 BpM  (Other work has been 95 BpM).  I recorded it three times and used three tracks, slightly staggered, and slightly volume differentiated to make this pleasing track - With a lyric twist at the end...

I'm finally 'pleased'  :O)
