Ok, maybe that one won't take the prize. 

Haha thanks Rami. I still gotta listen to the others. I'm particularly interested in WhiteStrat's. He's a good guitarologist.Close this thread, lock the forum, and send everyone home. We have a winner!
Nah it's fine. There's any number of lyrical combinations that would be better than the actual lyrics.Ok, maybe that one won't take the prize.![]()
My wife heard me playing with it from the other room the other day and came in and said "is that Hallelujah?!?!?"
How is it everyone but me knows this song??? Good on her for giving you motivation.![]()
Oh yeah that's true. I only listened to yours.Haha thanks Rami. I still gotta listen to the others
I think I've heard OF it, but never heard it either.How is it everyone but me knows this song???
Okay...here's my stab at it. And like I said, even though this in the singing forum, I don't sing (except when I'm alone!). So, as always, my guitar is my voice:
Hey that's good dude. I like the harmonizing parts at the end and how your sustain goes into harmonic feedback. What was your guitar setup for the lead lines?
Are we still doing this nonsense?
That's pretty amazing that you can get those harmonics out of a sim. I never could, but then I'm not half the player you are. Nice work.Thanks man, but this was tracked late at night. The acoustic and the mandolin were "real" but everything else--including the lead--was sims. I'm guessing whatever harmonic feedback I got with a sim must come from my tendency to use my thumb for pinch harmonics.
The lead patch was one I built for my 80's rock star sound--pretty much just a sim version of the sound I have dialed in my Carvin Legacy. A natrually dark tube amp, 7's across the board (including gain), pushed a bit with an OD pedal, and a healthy touch of delay.
I don't mean to say you're predictable--but this is exactly what I heard in my head when you said you'd have a go at it. I mean that in a good way--you've got your own signature sound, and it kills. This works way better than I think folks would expect.
Is Leonard Cohen still alive? Yep, just checked--he is. He needs to hear your version. Bet he'd love it!
Getting sued by Leonard Cohen would be almost the ultimate irony !Haha thanks man. Last thing I need is to get sued.

You can't hurt a masochist !That could be demoralizing for him.

Lenny released an album in 2012. He's alive & kicking because he discovered his manager had ripped him off whiile he was studying in a monatary for a couple of years. He's touring & recording to generate some income to retire on.
He'd LOVE all the versions in the thread - humour is almost always present in his songs (hidden more oftenb than not).
That's what I was thinking--he'd probably get a real kick out of this thread.
(Maybe I'll tell him about it tonight when I see him for dinner at Taco Bell.)
I saw him at Glastonbury a couple of years ago (might have been 2008).
