Me Playing/Singing Creed.......

[Rune]

Well, if anyone's interested, here are me singing and playing 5 creed songs. I play the guitar and sing it at the same time if your wondering, everything in the recording is me (i don't know why i said that, it's kinda obvious lol). You can click the link and wait for awhile (the screen will stay white until it finished downloading, or i think you can right click and save target as to save time). You will need Quicktime Media Player (if you don't have it u can dl it at cnet.com):

First song here for your listening pleasure is My Own Prison:

Next is don't stop dancing, kinda botched the solo lol:

I also did With Arms Wide Open, but i tried to do some fancy slides in the solo and screwed that up too lol:

Next is What's This Life For?.......the intro isn't completely correct, and if you compare me playing it to mark playing it you'll see what i mean. He does some really cool hammer ons that i can't do yet since i just learned this:

And finally Pity For A Dime. I warn you before listening to this song, if you have any respect for guitar, do NOT listen to the solo lol. I'm playing on my acoustic with no cutaway, so i couldn't reach half the notes. To generalize the solo, i hit about the first two notes, and it all went down hill from there lol. Also you will notice that i don't enjoy singing high notes too much in this song.....:

Now keep in mind, i know they're all horrible, believe me i kick myself about it all the time and i don't know why i'm posting these except that someone wanted me to prove i could play/sing some creed. These are also bad and compounded by the fact that i have 10 months experience and a cold when i did these recordings.....

[Bridge of Clay]

dude... you´re good!

would you mind coming here to teach me???

[hotforscott]

You play REALLY well. Much better then you give yourself credit for. I LOVED MOP and WAWO. I couldn't get DSD to open and I took your advice on Pity......., but you have a great voice and I think you played the songs VERY well. It rocked.

[Rune]

lol thank you very much, it makes me happy to hear someone appreciates it

eventually once i have all my songs copyrighted, i'll post some of my own stuff here if you guys would like to hear any of it....


and try to get DSD to work again, it should work......

[hotforscott]

I still couldn't get it to. I couldn't get WTLF to either. Good luck on your copywriting and your own stuff, you are very talented.

[hotforscott]

Pity for a dime rocks, I went ahead and listened to it. I think it is my favorite.

[Rune]

lol, my friend said that the fast part in the solo sounded like the spanish ramba cuz i messed up so bad on it lol

[Rune]

if any of the songs don't work for you go here:

www.guitar.com/artists/Matt

just dl them from the left tab on the screen and they'll work

[hotforscott]

Cool, thanks. I will do that. I am gonna go to bed now because I have to work in the morning, but I will check them out and let you know.

[PaulMcCoygirl]

You are really good!! So how long did it take you to learn the guitar parts?

[hayley]

I don't have Media Player sorry dude i would love to listen to you

My Own Prison:
Guitar work sounds great, when I play the solo, it sounds just the same! (I can only play the intro and solo of it). Even though your voice is different, I think your sound is great.

Pity for a Dime:
Having not heard this song a lot, I can't say much. The solo was good, not the same, but does sound spanish.

What's This Life For:
Hard song to sing, the intro is not correct as you said, but I can't play it, so no worries.

With Arms Wide Open:
The solo seemed a bit fast, but other than that, sounded good. Very clean cut, I like.

Don't Stop Dancing:
Probably the easist Creed song to play, except for the solo. You messed up on 2 or 3 notes on the solo, other than that, sounded good. As far as vocals, you sounded great.

If you think of playing professionally, I can see you playing acoustic. Rock ballads probably wouldn't go well with your voice. But then I haven't heard you with destorsation and drums.

yeah, my voice doesn't really go well with creed songs, the stuff i write is probably most comparable to like john mayer + a smidgeon of rock so it's not all sappy lol.

I actually just wrote my first rock song......but for some reason i think i sound like Curt Cobain.......uh oh......haha

[Rune]

Does anyone have any creed requests?........i will TRY to sing what i can, i make no promises, so have ur ear plugs handy!

[creedchick02]

All i can say is WOW~~~Dude that is great, your guitar playing (i am no expert though) is excellent, hope to see and hear you in a kick-ass band someday , But don't forget us in your thank you's OK
