Wasted on The Way (Crosby, Stills & Nash) Cover and Harmony Demo by Ken Theriot

[@jking3230]

WOW! I'm speechless. I typically look at covers with a sceptical eye. You, my friend, nailed this. Not only did you stay true to the original, and not put your "spin" on it, you have the actual talent to pull it off. I grew up with CSN(Y). I can tell that you did too. THANK YOU!!

[@HomebrewAudioRecording]

Thanks so much! Yeah, I sometimes get criticized for "not bringing something new" to a cover. But I just feel like it needs to be a close as possible. In this case, mostly the vocals. But still. I'm glad you liked it!

[@Back2Guitars]

You definitely killed it! Awesome harmonies and guitar! Thanks for posting!!

Very cool! I was one of those requesters after seeing your work on "Helplessly Hoping". Very happy to see this one! Thanks!

[@HomebrewAudioRecording]

You're welcome! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@stevewhite9854]

Outstanding!

[@HomebrewAudioRecording]

Thanks!

[@dlsdelessemusic]

Loved this! The harmonies are tight and sound fabulous! I was drawn in for the entire song!🎶🎤

[@HomebrewAudioRecording]

Thanks! Been wanting to do this one for years.

[@oinkooink]

Really lovely. I like how your guitar sounds perfectly natural. When I record my acoustic guitar it sounds mega boomy and harsh and ugly.

[@HomebrewAudioRecording]

Thanks! I actually used a Shure SM81 mic pretty close to the guitar. The video doesn't show it. I aim the mic for about the 12th fret to minimize boominess. Hope that helps.

[@dottiebaker6623]

Nice! One of my favorite CSN songs with really tight harmonies! thanks for posting this.

[@HomebrewAudioRecording]

You're welcome. Thanks for the kind words!

[@danschulzetenberg348]

Amazing work! How have I not found your great work on utube till now?? Your harmonies as so good - please do more CS&N!

[@HomebrewAudioRecording]

Thanks! I'll try. The channel is more about teaching people to do audio recording - for both music and spoken stuff (podcasts, audiobooks, voice over, etc.). And thi is a fun way to show some music recording techniques.

[@AdrianSalisbury]

Ken that's fantastic! 😍

Thanks Adrian!

[@drutgat2]

That was beautiful, Ken. Many thanks for sharing this. Presuming you recorded this in Reaper, you could even do a tutorial on how you recorded and mixed this.

[@HomebrewAudioRecording]

Thanks! And yes I did :-). And though I have not done a tutorial on this specific song, I show how I did all of my harmony demos in the course - Harmony Recording Awesomeness - www.homebrewaudio.com/landers/harmony-recording-awesomeness-lander/

[@scottjones6624]

Well, how fantastic is this!!! I immediately wanted to know how did you do this and then saw your link to the method and THEN to the course. Hmmm, very temping especially with your very good teaching technique. Thanks for all of this! BTW where is your mic??? I don't see one near you.

[@HomebrewAudioRecording]

Thanks Scott! I recorded the parts first so they could be properly mixed. I wanted it to sound perfect. Then I played and sang along on the video with just the camera. You are hearing mostly what was recorded before the video. It's not easy to sing live with yourself. I actually tried that one time and both the video and audio were less than stellar.

[@scottjones6624]

@@HomebrewAudioRecording ah ha! Tricky trickster lol

[@BlairFulton-z6c]

Really nice job. Your vocals are excellent. But you need to play with a couple of others. That middle fiddle solo that is missing is key for you to include.

[@billcraig5336]

This video only has 194 likes...that's shameful. I've seen people singing and sounding absolute trash and get more views. Come on people do the right thing and hit the like button.

[@HomebrewAudioRecording]

Thanks Bill! That's very kind.

[@jeffloewi5632]

Excellent, but, what I was desperately hoping for was individual section of the harmonies so I could attempt to learn to sing harmony. This was it sounds beautiful but I learn nothing.

[@HomebrewAudioRecording]

Look in the description above - at the very bottom ;-).

[@jeffloewi5632]

@@HomebrewAudioRecording Great, thanks so much. I've always been envious of those who can sing harmony. My brain just can't do anything but the melody, it can't hear the harmony.
