Open Mic Week 31: Brokedown Palace

in #openmic8 years ago (edited)

Hey Steem Friends, 

It looks like Crypto-currencies are taking over the world! Glad to have all my followers along for the journey! I have been on Steem since August of 2016, but the experiences I have had so far could make that "almost a year" feel like a long, fun experience!

The "guitar man" is back-- and this week with a cover of the Grateful Dead! The song is called "Brokedown Palace" off the revolutionary record "American Beauty" in 1970.  Hope you all enjoy



Let me tell you--I've played a lot of guitar, but this song is hard. Mostly, it is because there are a ridiculous amount of chord changes at a very rapid rate. I gave it my best, and I did the "one-taker" because that is what open mic is all about. It is as if I was playing a live open mic session! No time to fix a mistake...play if off like no big deal...or better... make it seem like you meant to do it haha! Hit a wrong note, keep playing the wrong note!


Thanks and feel free to follow!

That intro was simply epic lol and unexpected, "I'm only gonna play it once, and I'm gonna play it right!"

Thoroughly enjoyed this one, and I can hear the chord changes, very tricky but you did a pretty good job bro, keep strumming that wrong note! haha jk

Congrats on 2nd place, lovely cover

Thanks man! Always liked this song so had to give it a try! For sure made some mistakes...just had to keep goin'.

It was quite the journey to travel with you on, you're welcome
