Hi,

Jailyn and I have been discussing a project.

She wants to sing the songs she knows and wants me to guitar them. We are going to make it into a CD to hand out at Christmas to all the relatives.

So....

I'm attempting to write or compose the songs in her key and using whatever chord structures I find appealing to my ears.

I'm sure there are tabs and scores for these songs but I'm going to use my own arrangements and my own interpretation and score.

Here's my first attempt.

http://65.113.2.158/Mary07.mp3

The bass line is actually done on a guitar for now as this is my first draft. I'll keep posting as we get new parts iced.

Right now I'm still teaching her the words to this one. (snicker, snicker) but I think my part is done. Comments?

That's cool, Bish! So that's the backing track and she'll be recording vocals over that?

Yes, Jeff, that is my goal.

We are going to do as many songs like that as she wants.

Thanks for asking!

Probably it is a good idea to include a leading track, thus it could be easier for Jailyn keep in tone, althought she is a great singer!

The backing track sounds good, let us see how Jailyn sings over it.

Bish, the project is cool! :D

Really good idea Bish. I'm sure everyone will love their Cd's! 8) Your track sounds good. I like how full sounding it is. Good luck with the project. :D

You could definetly sing over that, sounds really nice!
