Dreams (Fleetwood Mac) cover - flamenco style

[Jascoduende]

I thought some forum members might be entertained by my flamenco-ish arrangement of Fleetwood Mac's 'Dreams'.

 

[Floyd Eye]

Thanks. I like re-imagining familiar tunes. No control over who likes or dislikes my re-interpretations.

Better?

Y'all need to take it a bit more serious, lay off the weed, and practice more.

No weed (or alcohal) here. You've obviously misjudged something.

Y'all got something there, not sure what, but something.

Why would I want to take anything more serious when I'm having fun and am able to avoid a real job by doing it Geo?

Strive for mediocrity?

This is why there will never be another Led or Fleetwod in our lifetimes.

Hey stop talking about me.

Who said anything about striving for mediocrity? It's possible to have fun with a project and try to do the best you can at the same time. And I'm not recording songs to try to show off skills - it's more about the art and what serves the song for my musical sensibility.

And personally for me, I wouldn't hold those two bands as examples of excellence - I'd be looking more towards players like Allan Holdsworth or Paco de Lucia. But that's just me. Musical value is really in the ear of the beholder.

Let me ask you though, what good does it do to come on a forum just to criticize others? Do you think anyone reading this is enlightened by constant negative remarks? Maybe post some of your own striving-towards-excellence as an example for all of us that you feel are below you to look up to and be inspired by. And if you post something that's great, I'll be the first one to congratulate you.

Let me ask you though, why post at all then? Do you only want compliments, maybe you should have stated that.

You are on a guitar forum where some of us have done some pretty amazing stuff.

Been playing for 42 years now and would never post embarrassing shit like you did.

Fucking hippies.

I post them because there may be some people who like them. Some people might not, of course. Everybody has different tastes.
Sounds like you've done some pretty amazing things. I'm waiting for you to post some links to hear some of it.

edit: (I also get that this is forum leans towards metal/shred/hard rock type material and some people who are really into that won't dig anything that's not in that realm, so I expected a certain amount of blowback here, but it doesn't really bother me.)

Good effort bro'.

Mix sounds good on my CrapMac™ mono speaker (2012 Mac Pro "cheese grater"), which is quite an achievement really. Great clarity and "unusually" these days, I can understand every word she's singin'.
