This movie "Friends" changed my entire life... I was a wild child when I was 12 and saw this movie "friends" . I can't believe my mother took me to see it at the Esquire Theater a million years ago.

Wendy. This was one of my favorite Elton John albums back in the 1970's. I didn't see the movie until around 5 years ago. I'm glad the movie had a positive impact for you. I am 71 years old now and I have many pivotal moments that occurred in my life. A small trigger will bring a flashback to memories that were life changing. I am glad my cover of this wonderful song perhaps gave you a moment of reflection.

This was recorded years ago. I was going to post the link, but I can't find the website that I downloaded the chords from. Many of those that I find are in F. I am playing in C. I have a document with the chords. send me an email and I will reply with the doc attached. (jwilliams3021 at gmail dot Kom ) And thanks for the kind remarks.

great rendition. One of my favorite Elton JOhn's songs. I love his songs at this stage of his career better the later songs. Lyrics by Taupin were amazing.

Great job John! We just got our VL3X a week or so ago. I really like to vocal reverb sound you got and am having a little trouble finding something that sits as well as yours. Can you share your reverb choice and settings? Thanks for posting! Skye:)
@johnFwilliams7 жыл бұрын
Thanks Skye. I used a factory preset called "4 WIDE DBL". I think part of the richness of the reverb is from the voice doubling effect that is set in this preset. What's great is that you can make changes to suite your tastes, if you like, and save it to a blank spot, with a different name. It takes a while of playing around, but pretty soon you catch on to all the cool things you can do the Voicelive.

For some reason I stopped getting notifications when people leave comments. If you left a comment and I didn't respond please know I appreciate your taking time to do so. The novelty wore out after a while and I stopped checking here unless I received an alert. I logged inn today because I am considering uploading some more videos. This one was an experiment back in 2011. One of my main motivations was to learn video editing. The new recordings are not processed like this one. I am running from a TC Helicon Voicelive Play Acoustic module straight into my Nikon camera.
