1.7.26 Drum ttack completed for you Rick. Hope this works out for your Collab.
I have no idea how to fix this. I'm over my head! Someone help! dennisski : )
So tell me what happened to james arcs tracks? Why do they have two IDs? did you download and upload those tracks?
I saw that you invited me for this song, I missed it. I see that there are some guitar tracks, do you still want me to put my guitar on it?
Yes, if it’s not too much trouble Carlo. I don’t want you to have to invest any length of time if it is a difficult one.
Bob Restore to original track, also lowered vocal top end to accentuate the back up vocal from right ear
@Yves: Hey, brother. Would you be interested in the Hammond part for this collab?
@Yves: excited to hear you purchased the new leslie cab, I Actually have 2 vintage versions purchasesd 15 years ago for $900 crazty and an extra tube amp,, the belts get strecthed for sure and needd adjustment, and I have an extra tube amp with a mod on it for guitar with the guistr pedal that those old vintage guitar players used. when you get it fill us in on how it cool it sounds. What an awesome addition to your studio. they are heavy BTW
Hi Bob cbgb my friend, how are you doing? It would have been cool but I owe too many already, thanks.
Ah sorry Joe, it's my stupid humor. I wasn't serious about getting a 6000$ Leslie. But glad to know that you have somes. I can also see that you are quite well equipped, Kemper, many amps and good guitars indeed.
there was one spot the chords could be tightened so I did it, my strumming is not was Leslie west was doing obviously, but its better
I'm going to have to look at the sync for this again. Something a bit off. We should all align to Stephen. He's perfect.
@Stephen Sable: I can't speak for your zen, karma, or lifeforce, but you are awesome on a bass guitar. :-)
@Bob : I was just laughing because I know you meant sync wise and not trying to give me a big ego lol
Really liked the new vocal line Joe. Huge improvement and certainly a lot of work put into this. And the lead smokes..Leslie West would be very proud..such a great sound! Love it
@Bob : There is a place where my chord Rythm falls off. I’ll look at that and see if that’s the off your hearing bob
!983electric, dud the Bass Kick A*^S on this song, you played made this collab sound so awesoem with the tightest Bass track and great tone, fantastic playing, I was just talking to Bob and we listen both find ourselves listening to the Bass lines when we cue up this song
Hi..thanks a lot Stu. Ran out of time this evening but I should have this ready for you tomorrow for publishing..thanks for the invite.
Hank87 - Thank you Hank ! Honoured to be part of an original. Well done yourself ! I just sent a lead guitar track right now for your review...
Yesterday I was wondering about tomorrow.
And tomorrow I will be thinking about today.
And I (try), (try), (try),
And there's no way out,
And I (cry), (cry), (cry),
And scream and shout.
What am I doing here?
If I knew where I was going,
I would be there by now.
The stars above are showing.
Where I should be. and how,
And I (try), (try), (try),
And there's no way out,
And I (cry), (cry), (cry),
And scream and shout.

Ah! One of my all time favorite Billy Joel songs! You all sound perfect! Congrats everyone. : )
dennisski: Dennis, BROZ says the can hear the BT. Can u remove? I don't see anything in my DAW--TIA
BROZ yoshikoba Bdajaysus: We are done! Thx EVERYONE for a great Collab! C U soon :-)
Hi Stu I've uploaded the accordion, organ and your bass fixes. I hope you like them.
Oh, I feel the pressure here, Grant and Frank set the bar quite hight. I did my homework and read that JPJ been using a pick and a Leslie, so I ordered a Leslie and picks.
I should receive the Leslie in the next days. https://www.sweetwater.com/sto....re/detail/122H--lesl
Pick are harder to find though. (What are picks ?)
YvesC - Haha ! Please feel free to PICK me something up from Sweetwater as well...
If you wanna go even further, he used a 62' Fender Jazz Bass with flats through an Acoustic 360 (cranked like crazy). Oh, and a pick :)
Thank YvesC That is some serious amp cabinet, perfect for on the road touring lol
My favorite song from My favorite album of all time. I’ll stay tuned at this. Great job so far my friends! Both of you are phenomenal here, and what a great solo @thx1138! Kudos
Grant - Well thank you Sir Grant for the really nice words ! Appreciate it ! But enough about me ! Damn Fine Drummin ! Fantastic ! Thunderous sound and your track was as fast as lightning thank you so much ! Excellent work as always ! Caught you 'chillin' during the solo and haha what happened at the end ? Did the cymbal bite back ? LOL ! (kidding) Really thank you for your time, talent and skill !
@thx1138: I considered going and making a cup of tea why'll you were doing your solo, and I had trouble choking my crash at the end there, I had to fix it on my DAW.
Great guitars thx1138 Frank and love the solo, I have done a few practice runs on the drums and nothing comes easy with Led Zeppelin, but I hope Lady Gaga like what I have done so far, unless she's a heartbreaker. lol
Grant joeykaraoke YvesC - Hey friends ! Hoping you will join me on this rockin' classic please ?
Can't beleive we haven't done this one yet? Hope LadyG will engineer our version too!
@YvesC: Yah crazy eh ? We never covered this...It was the solo that always scared me...Even now nowhere near as the original as long as we have fun though eh ? 'LG' haha ! You DID read the fine print ! LOL !
@joeykaraoke : My friend we have done some awesome Led Zep collabs...You will rock this one ! Thanks ! Happy New Year !
Hey guys, piano for you... please review, thanks for the invite!! Excellent work each one of you. There is a small oops on the first piano note, I can patch that.
Hey Strumbo, for some reason I cannot access this video. I spent hours and contributed to your Collab under my Revup67 account. This may be an accident of course but for any reason if you have blocked my account you should be a gentleman and remove my drum track and also the organ track I had submitted. Please get someone else to play those parts. I've spent hours helping you and am truly clueless at this stage. Again, please remove both my tracks if by chance I've been unfriended. If by accident please Unblock my Revup67 account, thanks.
@Revup. Hey. I certainly did not block you. In fact, I thought it might have been the other way around when you suddenly fell off my radar three weeks ago. Not only do I have no reason to block you, but I wouldn't know how to go about doing it in the first place.
@Strumbo: whew..thanks. This was the only way I knew how to reach you which was to create a secondary account which was effective. Can you please write to Dennis (admin) and have him reference this conversation? I will do the same and in fact tag @admin YvesC .
@Revup67two: PS all of our messages and dialog have disappeared under the Message Center.
@Strumbo: I am wondering if there's been illegal access to our accounts ? No 2FA.
@Revup67two: I couldn't say. I reached out to you in this thread 16 ays ago when you went dropped off my radar. Did you not see it? It's still there. In any case, I'll speak to Dennis. I was hopkng to work with you again, so Im glad this has been resolved. Almost.
Rev67- I see both of your parts fine. I know when Strumbo first published it it was marked Private and I couldn’t see it at all. But after he changed that all was well.
@Michael Dixon: thanks for the heads up. I can ser my post through this account but ive no access to any Strumbo posts or video under Revup67s
Nice…Credence classic, well done, especially the challenge of Fogerty vocals by CC who can sing anything great.
piano sent and synced. Any corrections, let me know, but I think it's pretty accurate. Working on horns next
That's just a practice drum track, Stu. I left my speakers on. I'll be back tomorrow.
Here are the instruments from the original recording slowed down: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNj_fkDNhgc
I Can't believe I even was able to get that far on pedals tell guitar Whew
12-27-25 - Drum track added and remixed the BT with 3 current tracks. Kenny Buttrey did the drums on the 1969 track. Achieving exactness on the performance is close. Production nearly identical to that of original producer Bob Johnson.
@joeyman1: Hey Joey..thanks much for your note..I apologize but never saw a notification for your note until 1TrickTony sent me a message about an hour ago. I wound up giving this a go today and think it sounds Ok. Hope you had a great New Year's Eve celebration and again, sorry for the delayed reply.
@Revup67: hey rev , no worries , you did a great job and I look forward to hopefully doing something together soon , cheers joey
Oh wow such a nice smooth and silky bass line and sound billbassdude . Fantastic and thanks for jumping on this so quickly.
1/4/26 - republished and remixed with different panning to achieve a more desirable satisfying effect. Joe PS, thanks a lot for all the "added" efforts on your two tracks from a video standpoint. IMHO, that truly makes a difference and I really dig that Firebird you have..damn, just too cool. This is sounding better by the minute :)
Vox re-upped. Thanks to Rev for the engineering and dope visuals. Love the F-bird, Jay. Drumming very reminiscent of the original, Tony. Now for me to get all Randy Jo Hobbs with the bass. Not an easy one. Made harder by a bout of bursitis of the shoulder I'm just getting over. Should have something soon.
You are welcome Greg. Yeah that Firebird look smokes! I wound up building a custom drum kit for the Richard Huges sound on the Roalnd Module. I thought it was pretty close, Named the Preset JWINTER AG. Have had shoulder bursitis. What I did to correct this was stopped doing 18 pullups at the gym on each visit. 4 months later, issue gone. Likely a repetitive action that just needs to be changed.
PS the vocal line was good volume wise in some spots and too low in others even after adjusting the instrument levels. I wound up using a gentle 1 or 2db increase. The track looks likes its clipping but does sound OK. I can redo with a normalization to get all levels mouch more even but we might lose a bit if Dynamic Range..your call Greg.
Vox track uploaded, 3 Jan. 26. Left as is for producer. I'll make a decision on whether to redo once I hear a mix. Sounds promising, gents.
Draft tracks UTT's. no need to publish. Il be redoing. just wanted to overyplay and here it
Definitely on the right track. Love that Phase 80 sound. You got a Gibson Firebird? If so bring that baby out.
wow...just listening to some Elvis tunes and ran across this one that Elvis also did. Exceptional...a great listen.
Drums sent Yoshikoba any changes needed let me I would leave drums low in the mix Thank you for the invite to such a wonderful collab
Great!!I love it!! This is exactly the collab I was hoping for. I love the sound of your snare drum. This time the cymbals in the second half sound good too!!!Thank you again!!(I'm sorry I can't see your face.)
admin :I want to unlock the 'complete' version of this collaboration. Please tell me how to do that.
@yoshikoba: If you like Yoshi , I will send soft snare but I think it already sounds perfect.
@Bdajaysus: You were not in the bandhag at the time we did this song. From that time onwards I wished you were there. This is true.I wish you could play the drums on this beautiful song.Please!!!
In the second half of the song, I would prefer intense drumming... like Backing Track,,
@yoshikoba: Hi Yoshi collab is locked and won't let me record When you get a chance please unlock the golden gates
@Bdajaysus: Very sorry..I don't know how to unlock it, so I will ask the admin to tell me.
@yoshikoba: Yes Yoshi able to record will send a track tomorrow Thanks Dennis
Hey Tony. Super job with the vocals, they sound great , ive tweeked around with them a bit re panning and volumme levels . I think its sound pretty good all round, im pleased with the end result , ill shout out to copycat to get his thoughts and see if he can jazz it up a little bit more . Thank guys for your work you all did awesome jobs . cheers joey .
Thanks so much, Joey! Glad you are pleased with the backing vocals! And your mix sounds excellent! Very balanced and well blended! Thanks again for the invite! : )
joeyman1 Hi Joey, and happy New Year to you all. Attached are 4 backing vocal tracks for your review. I submitted a preliminary mix of the backing vocals as a starting point Joey, but fee free to mix and adjust to your liking. To help with mixing, the main "Paul" backing vocals for the verses are track 11 (light blue shirt). Then I have 3 harmony tracks for the "well well well" bridge parts. Track 8 is Paul's higher bridge harmony (green shirt), Track 9 is John's lower bridge harmony (brown shirt), and track 10 is George's mid range bridge harmony (gray shirt). Hope that's helpful. Thanks so much for your patience everyone. You all sound fantastic. Cheers.
Hey guys , finally got a vocal track up , shout out to copycat if youd like to adjust and tinker around with it thats fine [ im very limited on my end with any reverb and compression] or im happy to wait till Tony sends in his vocals and do a final mix then . Anyway cheers guys, and a Merry Christmas to you all .
Wow! Great vocals, Joey! Everyone sounds fab! I'll get started on the backing vocals after the new year. Happy Holidays everyone!
@1tricktony: Hey Tony, thanks for the kind words , look forward to hearing your vocals , the band indeed sounds awesome .
Hi joeyman1 added a bass track! Hope you like it :) Glad to jam with you again yoshikoba, Grant and everybody! Revolver is my nº2 Beatles record of all time. :)
Hey guizubao your bass sounds great , thanks buddy. Everyone so far has done an amaizing job , Tony and i are on this one and so much loooking forward to the vocals . Well done all .s
