This is a continuation of my old post on Home Recording for newbies. The first part was very well received and a number of my friends asked me to post another short tutorial. I have tried to capture whatever I can into this tutorial. Would be happy to hear your feedback.
I decided to cover a hindi song for a change. Tara Balakrishnan bought me this track for my birthday and I’ve been procrastinating for a while. I love this song for its edgy vocals and lovely bass line. As always I’ve added some harmonies here n there. Hope this cover was worth your time.
Thanks for the track Tara!

Its been a while since I sang anything bluesy. I love the progression of notes typically in blues and this song is no exception. Gary Moore has been on my daily playlist for about 10 years now and this is one of my favorite tracks of his. I’ve tried to capture the emotions as best as I can. Hope this takes you all to a special place.

No matter how a day is or how stressed out I might be, this song always gives me peace. It takes me to a place I cannot describe. I felt the same when I sang this today. A sense of inner peace. This is a Sting classic from the album Ten Summoners Tales. I have added some harmonies and backing vocals, but other than that its pretty close to the original. I hope you feel the same way I do when you listen to this.

This is one of my favorite Eagles songs. I have performed this at numerous shows and decided to do it one more time for old times sake. I love the attitude with which Don Henley sings this and the lyrics. We all tend to feel sorry for ourselves all the time, and as the song goes – GET OVER IT!

My first cover of Fleetwood Mac. This is one of their biggest hits. I actually like the acoustic live version better, but could not find the karaoke for that one. Here is my attempt at this timeless classic.
