Wolf Molkentin Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 So here is my first approach toZelda. The four takes were rather to make the A-part sound as intended, not for the B-part... (uncut live recording as before - extra percussion effect on the same track, rattling buttons ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieK Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Thanks for the hints on the chording Here is my first attempt at recording... Please don't laugh, it's EXCEEDINGLY slow... But, as of last Saturday morning, I had never even touched a concertina, so I'm pretty proud of myself!! There's a couple of mistakes, and one brain cramp where I lost my mind for a half second... but all in all, not too bad for a first attempt I don't think... I'm planning to get it up to speed before the end of the month, and I think it will be fun to come back and listen to the first attempt https://soundcloud.com/julie-cassidy-kelley/zelda-take-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad that the hints appear to have been of some help! And as to speed, I might slow it a bit down myself...

Wolf Molkentin Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 (edited) Indeed the second part doesn't work well with treble, sounds a bit chaotic - but the third part is great and gives an idea of what you had in mind for the second part. Hope you'll find a baritone and play a trio, can't wait to hear it happen Hi Chas! Albeit I'm very much focussed on that one person, one concertina, happening live thing myself, I must admit that I realy like the third section too!

Jim Besser Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 Here's mine. http://youtu.be/XHe1z98sBC8 Excellent. I was planning on doing it in Am on the G/D, and hopefully will absorb some of your arrangement. Bonus points for great video production! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jody Kruskal Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Here's mine. http://youtu.be/XHe1z98sBC8 Perfect as always Oh... not perfect in my ears, but merely acceptable. After 30 takes I gave up and went with the best of the bunch. I can play the tune, but when you add in the visuals... what with the eye rolling and sighing, grimacing, expletives and such... well I almost threw in the towel in trying to make this video.

tona Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) Here's mine on youtube. I made it with an I-Pad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRfVfymWjGA&feature=youtu.be I tried to use standard harmony but also pedal of A and sometimes three in two rythm... I made a simultaneous recording with a couple of studio mics but when I put the sound of this recording on the I-Pad video, I don't know if it is because of a problem of synchronization but it looks like play-back... So I prefered let the sound of I-Pad for the video and for those who want to listen the "studio" recording here is the soundcloud link. it is exactly the same take. https://soundcloud.com/thoon-1/zelda Edited April 7, 2014 by tona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tona Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 wow thank you to all ! However I think that tempo is sometimes a bit pressed because my brain was too busy with left hand...(See you now on "theme of the month!..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Besser Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 Here's mine. http://youtu.be/XHe1z98sBC8 Jody, a question. In the second measure, A part: the fingering on the F-E-D run is tricky on a GD/Jeffries. I can't really see in your video: do you use the same finger to go from the F to the E on the middle row, just sort of sliding down, or do you drop down to the E on the bottom row using a different finger? I always assume that hitting consecutive notes with the same finger is bad form, but often find that difficult to put into practice. Playing Zelda in Am on the G/D works great for me except for that awkward run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
