Cover – Tom Sawyer (Rush)

I got a wild hair up my butt one night in 2003 and actually thought that if I found a midi track of the drums, bass, and keyboards for “Tom Sawyer” by Rush, that I could do a decent cover of it with my guitar and vocals.

Well, I found the midi file I needed. My guitars were very raw and my tone sounded like I was plugged directly into a mixing board, but I think I did a decent job on the vocals. I mean, how close can YOU get to sounding like Geddy Lee?? 😉

Vocals recorded with my Shure SM-58 mic, I used my 1998 Jackson Dinky Reverse strat guitar through my Digitech GNX4 effects board.

Vocal Cover – Aerials (System of a Down)

The singer of System of a Down has a unique voice and I wasn’t really trying to match it in this song, but I did try to capture some of the vibrato used. I recorded this at 4am one morning… I couldn’t sleep and decided to go into my studio and sing.

Vocals recorded with my Rode NT1a mic.

Cover – If You Could Only See

2001, practicing in the bathroom.

I’ve been playing and singing this song by Tonic since it came out in 1996, and still sing it out at karaoke when I get the opportunity. Such a great song!
