[@Bushman9]

There’s never much in it for me when people or bands record covers with the intent of trying to sound exactly the same. If you’re going to record a cover, make it your own. Be that really obvious or subtle is not what matters. That it is you, is what matters. Beautiful cover. I have no doubt John would love it.

[@kellimoyle]

@@Bushman9 I sure hope so :) I really appreciate that- thank you. And I agree… for me, the song will kind of naturally evolve into something a little different as soon as I stop trying to steer it and let go of what it’s “supposed” to sound like. It’s been fun, because where the song ends up, is always a bit of a surprise to me too.

[@charlesl5894]

Such a lovely interpretation of a beautiful song. Thank you, Kelli.

[@charlesl5894]

If I may enquire, it appears that you're only picking the A string once in a D7/G chord at the start of the song and the high E string once in a G chord near the middle. I recently started working on this song and your performance has struck a chord with me.

[@kellimoyle]

Thank you for the kind words Charles- they mean so much… It’s funny- you may already know the technicalities of why I’m playing better than I do :) I started out playing the song as written (G, C, D), and over the course of a few days, it kind of just changed bit by bit… I will keep the little things that feel right- albeit, some even start out as mistakes. When I started alternating down to the A string in D7/G… it almost sounded like it didn’t quite belong, but for some reason I became attached to it anyway. As corny as it sounds- I don’t really know what I’m thinking about when I’m playing… it’s all kind of based off of what “feels” right in the moment. Sorry, that’s probably not a great explanation, haha.

[@charlesl5894]

@@kellimoyle I'm just starting to understand the technicalities of this stuff. Like you, I started out by playing the song as written. Then I heard your interpretation. I think your C to D7/G instead of C to D not only sounds beautiful but compliments the story so well. And like you, I start off learning a song as played by the original artist and then through covers (like this one) and mistakes, and experiments, it evolves. So fun!!! I would love to hear what you might do with "If I Needed You" by Townes Van Zandt.

[@kellimoyle]

I know I am quite behind in seeing this, but great song suggestion! I’ve started a playlist on Spotify with all the songs requests that get mentioned on here… I listen to them on random to get more familiar with them. I always seem to get one stuck in my head and then I work on it. It works for now at least :)
