I'm pretty nervous about posting here since all the stuff that's been posted over the last four pages has been amazing, but here it goes. I am a self-taught musician (besides piano, I had lessons for that), and I have no singing experience at all. Every now and then I will make a cover and post it on Youtube, and the very few comments that I've received were pretty positive. I've finally worked up the courage to post here and would love some honest feedback. Some of these are old and I don't remember how to play them any more, but I would still like to hear what you think. Keep in mind that I have zero special sound recording devices and no video/sound editing capabilities. I just applied for a lottery computer loan through my work, and if I get that, I'm getting a laptop and software that is good for music production because I would like to do more of it. Anyway, on to the covers. These are my newest ones which I worked out earlier this month. As you can see at the very start I wrote down the lyrics, listened to the music, and wrote down the chords that I heard. The piano stuff is all improvised. Susanne Sundfor - When https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmWj4iHD2o4 Susanne Sundfor - White Foxes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxbCxR4WnrY Susanne has a very high voice which is frankly out of my range, I hope it sounds alright to you. We are remodeling our house which is why it looks like I'm playing piano in an abandoned building. Here are some older covers that I've done. This one is from January 2011. I had just got a guitar from a friend and was teaching myself how to play. I picked up a guitar a few years before but couldn't remember and chords, and had this guitar for about a month before I made this cover. Sorry about the lovely quality, it was produced with Windows Movie Maker. George Harrison - Beware of Darkness https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZK4Q6JY2Ao This is more in range for my voice. This is also back when I still lived in an apartment and was nervous about the neighbors hearing me, so I'm singing rather quietly. Added bonus of the blisters that I developed from learning that cover. Going back even further in time to 2009, I did a Dresden Dolls cover. I need to redo this because the quality sucks and I'm pitchy and it's like a thousand times faster than the original song. Dresden Dolls - Delilah https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXrGsRVeQso Finally, I had this cool keyboard that had drum loops and would let you record stuff on top of stuff, so I made a few lame things like Bach covers. Prelude in C Minor - Bach https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoGUVheujwk There are a few more gems on my youtube channel but they are bad. If you want to take a peek go ahead but be prepared to laugh at the lack of being good. I am interested to hear what you think, and hopefully if I get a new computer and some good equipment, I can post here again with better stuff.

I'm not 100% happy with this but I am tired of having some kind of cold for the last four months and it's kind of out of my range so.... Cover of Susanne Sundfør, "When." Made with Avid Vocal Studio, guest starring Pikkukoira's kitten claws and Goliath's doggy toenails. https://soundcloud.com/koivunen/when-susanne-sundfor-cover Cpt. Spring Types posted:My friend asked me to record a cover of I Know I'm Not Wrong by Fleetwood Mac for his wife as a Christmas present. This is it. I really like this. A lot more than the original.
