Love Me Tender -half-capella

[Haywire]

Hi all,
I started out wanting to do an accapella version but ended up accompanying myself on guitar.- trying to get some flow to it - but does it stop and start too much ? I had finger snaps in there and then ditched them....Can't tell anymore.....Need some fresh ears... I'd love your input about the mix or anything else.
Thanks a lot.
Chuck

MUSIC SUPERVISOR working on MAJOR HOLLYWOOD FILM PROJECTS needs YOUR COVER VERSION of the classic song, “Love Me Tender,” originally performed by Elvis Presley.

I think it's gorgeous, kind of a Queen vibe. I would keep the focus on the acapella vibe and not overwhelm it with an instrumental arrangement.

Nice!

Thanks Ethan, so you think I should remove the guitars?

[eeoo]

No I like the guitars, just saying I would avoid the temptation to add more instruments and take the focus of the voices.

[Haywire]

Great .Thanks again!

Hi Chuck,
That's really cool! Love the spareness of the instrumentation.
The vocals work great, I'm hearing some of the harmonys overwhelm the lead in a couple of spots- but not much.
I'm working on one too, I'll post soon.
Nice job! -Rob

[Haywire]

Thanks Rob. I think I know where you mean about the harmony confusion- I need to get the balance right.
Looking forward to hearing yours!

Yes this is great!
And I agree with the others. Keep the instrumentation sparse as it is.
Kinda like a lullaby in feel. Very nice and great voice by the way.
Good luck with it!

[Haywire]

Thanks Pedro! Very encouraging ! I will keep it sparse.

Hey, Chuck.

This is dee-lishusss.

Wouldn't have been as good without the guitar. Loving the harmonies – like halfway to George Harrison – although I agree with Rob that the balance isn't quite right yet.

Real nice.
