Featured Recording of the Week - Page 2

Clancy · April 18th, 2007

Since the re-vamped forum has been up and running, some of you may have noticed the new banner we have up the top of each page "Featured Recording of the Week" ...well it really is pretty self explanatory, but the idea is that each week we will be choosing one song submitted to our Recording Booth forum and featuring it for the week.

Last week we chose the hauntingly beautiful "Hug me like you care" by a relatively new member Jomi. If you haven't had the chance to have a listen, do yourself a favour and have a listen here.

For this weeks Featured Recording of the Week, we thought we would choose something totally different and decided on Rockerbob's "Wide Open"... check it out here if you haven't already. Don't be fooled by the title of the thread "Gentle Spring Guitar Melody"

it's about as far away from that as you can get!

Enjoy... and thanks to everyone who continues to contribute to the Recording Booth Forum.

This weeks "Featured Recording of the Week" goes to John Bullards and Kirks collaboration of Funky Blue You - it was difficult to pick one out this week. This one was picked as it was really guitar based and a great collab... and also because it cooked!

Have a listen here if you haven't already.

Funky Blue You is a great pick - absolutely smokin' song, great collab between two great guitarists.

Clancy,
Absolutly one of my favorites great choice.
I like it when the big guns go showtime.

It was short, but oh so sweet... Lcjones' Take me out to the Ball game - it was posted a couple of weeks ago. A very nice bit of finger picking from our very own Les. Do yourself a favor and have a listen if you missed it a couple of weeks back.

Oops, got distracted this week with a bunch of other things and forgot to update the Featured Recording of the Week... this one was posted a couple of weeks back but it definitely shouldn't have been overlooked as one of our Featured Recordings of the Week. It's an original written by another one of our talented members "Smort" - It's called Kisses - if you haven't had a listen already, check it out here - http://www.guitarforbeginners.com/fo...original-smort

Thanks for your contributions here Smort.

Jomi · #26 June 16th, 2007

Actually Clancy I really can't thank YOU enough for giving me the platform, without this terrific site I'd still be singing to four walls!!
I also have to thank all the fantastic members here for the encouragement, support, advice, and very positive comments I've had. This is all a very humbling but wonderful experience.

Clancy · #27 June 27th, 2007

We've chosen a collaboration from Ljones and CanuckTodd for this weeks (fortnights

whatever it turns out to be) Featured Recording. It sure is great to see so many of our members getting together for collabs lately.

If you haven't already had a listen, check out "Just a Little More" by Les and Todd here - Just A Little More - A Phillips & Jones original

Thanks for your ongoing contributions Les and Todd.

Cheers
