Open Mic Week 31 - "What's Up" by 4 Non Blondes
Hi folks! I wasn’t able to enter last week but I’m back with my guitar. Before you listen I’d like to warn you that I’m not a very good guitarist. That’s not false modesty. Singing and playing is actually harder than it looks. There will be mistakes but I’m learning (it’s just taking a while).
I covered “What’s Up” by 4 Non Blondes. Not because it’s a 90’s classic or because that episode of Sense8 made me remember it (although both of those things are certainly true). No, I’m playing it because it has three chords (or at least this version does). Anyway, here it goes…:)
Thanks for listening and I deeply appreciate all upvotes, resteems, follows and comments.
Your guitar is fine! I enjoyed this. :O)
Thanks! I really appreciate that cuz this took looooots of practice lol. I'll be doing more guitar playing (perhaps with FOUR chords next time)! :D
Four chord madness!! Yay!!
:D!!
Lol, I love that one!
Great, because I'll probably be covering quite a few of the songs they featured (at least until I learn barre chords)!
Fab, good luck with the barre chords they take a little practice!
Thanks! Nearly all the songs I really want to play have them so I'll make time...
You have a great voice! Also brave to sing in front of a camera! Good Job!
Thanks! I have pretty bad stage fright but I manage to contain it when I record by myself. To an extent lol
What a great song and I also liked your version of it. Got me jamming even and your smiles were the cream of the crop!
Thanks! I used to scowl without realising it whenever I tried to sing so I'm glad I'm making progress there :D
Welcome back. Always good to hear you sing and it's cool you play some guitar too.
Thanks! :)
I love your smile and your voice is soooo pure i love it, gave me goosebumps
Thank you so much! I'll be posting more music every week (or more often) :D
What a lovely cover, playing and singing is indeed tough, I can't even do it! When I play piano, the rhythm when I sing or rap is thrown off by my focused concentration on my playing. So big respect and appreciation for your entry, really enjoyed your singing. Upvoted with ease
Thank you, I really appreciate that! Don't forget to check out week 32's entry: https://steemit.com/openmic/@elementm/open-mic-week-32-halo-by-beyonce
You're very welcome. Don't worry, I will, I was currently catching up on everyone's entries the past 2 weeks that I failed to comment on, I have been enduring the craziness and stress of life but I'm back! I'll be posting mine tonight as well, last minute as always, I have yet to miss one since I started, trying to keep my streak going
Lol, I admire that determination! Hopefully I'll be able to enter everytime from now on as well (but I completely understand how stress etc can get in the way). I'll look out for that last minute entry!
Thanks I truly appreciate it! And yes, hope you can manage an entry every time too, it's good to see familiar faces in the open mic, that where we all build our connections, friendships, and learn more from one another and each other's styles without a doubt!
