Matthew Good Tribute Album

[ToadMan]

Did this project die?

[Monochrome Rainbow]

I missed the Odette upload... Does anyone have it?

[Shiri]

It died like any other tribute project since I've been around.

 

Shame really.

[ToadMan]

I only ask because one of these tribute songs came up randomly in my iTunes.

 

A shame really... there was a lot of good work.

[Crusader]

If someone has all of them saved I can upload them to the site. I've got a bunch saved but I can't tell what's misisng.

[ToadMan]

I only have a few, I'll catch you online we'll see if I have any you don't... that is, if you are ever online?

 

If we know we're missing some, then well do like in that movie, and recreate them with my shitty microphones from Radio Shack... No, I don't know it's name, and I only saw the trailer...

[Shiri]

Sounds like Be Kind Rewind but with CD's instead of VHS.

I think I've got all of them. Why don't u just post a list of what you have and then others who have the ones you're missing can just upload them to you some how?

Where are these being uploaded?

[Gomo]

Geez, I'm starting to think I have time to make another contribution ;)

[Crusader]

You probably do since it'll never be finished lol.

[kbernardp]

Yeah, this whole project is 20 pages of fail.

[Gomo]

Even if it turned into some kind of archive I'd still consider it a success.

[kbernardp]

I don't even remember what song I covered for this thing anymore.

An online Matthew Good community that actively posts their own versions of his work is not a failure in my opinion. I could care less about about a physical copy. As long as people on here keep submitting their stuff that totally works for me,ie. your Born Losers cover. I am content hearing the songs as they come in. I think having it an ongoing thing is more of a tribute than one stand alone collection ever could be.

i totally agree.

I may be doing a Weapon cover with my dad and some friends even though I don't particularly like the song. Maybe I can convince them to do Champions or Fall of Man instead.

These may finally go up since I need to reupload the whole store anyway.

Fall of man would be sick...

I just finished covering Can't Get Shot In The Back, and currently uploading it to YouTube. I'll have the link once it's done uploading.

 

Ok, here it is, my Can't Get Shot In The Back cover.

Pretty nice.

 

My only criticism would be that it doesn't feel like the notes are ringing long enough. There seems to be a whole heck of a lot more notes in what you are playing, so some notes just feel cut short. It could be that your guitar is balanced louder than Matt's is when he plays this...

 

Other than that I enjoyed it.

I love this. Thanks for sharing.

This is awesomeness Jesse, you're really good.

[Guest jjazz]

Thanks a lot, guys.

Thank you, man.

 

Yeah, in regards to that, Matt Good's guitar playing, acoustic specifically, has had quite an influence on me over the past few years, mainly because it is so unique to only him, almost to the point where it's rather predictable. I don't think that's a bad thing, though. So when playing a Matt Good song, I tend to go a little overboard and carried away with the pulloffs and chord variations. Going into the recording, I tried to use the guitar technique from the Hospital Music bside version, rather than the original demo version. The high E was also tuned to an open D, I find it really helps to give the song a better approach.

 

So yeah, while it was a strict cover, I did try to branch out a little bit from the originals. Thanks for the feedback, though. ;)

I agree as well, and there are some really great covers posted in this thread, some of which the links for still work so I thought this was worth bumping. There are so many talented people here. ;)
