Topic: A friend's performance

One of my buddies back home who has been in several bands recently had a performance. I thought it was pretty good so I'm posting the link to his youtube upload.

I like it a lot.  He has a pretty good voice, I'm also a fan of this style of music.

Re: A friend's performance

Its good.. I like the sound and the voice. But it seems like he might benefit from practicing with a metronome.. his beat seemed way off.

Edit: the beat gets better by the end.

Well knows he who uses to consider, that our faith and knowledge thrives by exercise, as well as our limbs and complexion. Truth is compared in Scripture to a streaming fountain; if her waters flow not in a perpetual progression, they sicken into a muddy pool of conformity and tradition. A man may be a heretic in the truth; and if he believe things only because his pastor says so, or the Assembly so determines, without knowing other reason, though his belief be true, yet the very truth he holds becomes his heresy.

Re: A friend's performance

i think he intentionally chooses odd syncopation to add to the feel of the song, one of the things i thought was done pretty well.

If it was intentional, then all I can say is that I think the song would have worked better with normal syncopation. I liked everything else though.

Re: A friend's performance

I think the "syncopation" is quite "normal", there's nothing odd with it. It fits the style of music perfectly. If it was normal in the sense that the guitar strums line up with the strong beats, it'd lose much of its flavor and style, and it'd be quite boring.

I agree the guy has a great voice. He should get a band together.

He had an awesome band together but they broke up for some strange reason. I use to have their CD in my car and played it on road trips with friends who would be surprised when I told them who it was.
