She's like the wind

[Jimi75]

Hello friends,

A good friend of mine is going to marry next week. He asked me if I would perform "THEIR SONG" which is "unfortunately" Patrick Swayze's "She's like the wind". Of course I promissed to do so.

He gave me his Line6 Variax300 to record the song acoustically and this is what came out.

What'd you say - can I present the song this way in front of all his family and friends while he and his bride are dancing to it????

Thanks for letting me know...and by the way, I couldn't deny putting some jazzy stuff into the song.....:rotflmao:

I have one comment:

When you sing "Feel her breath in my face", you play a major chord. I think that you have to play its relative minor one. For example if you play C, you have to play Am

You have very nice voice by the way!!!

Jimi,

I seldom comment on these types of things only because from a technical aspect I don't know good from bad, I just know that I like it. However, I make this exception because I like what you did and the reason you are doing it.

You're playing this for a good friend, on a special occasion - play it with feeling and you will be right on target - nice job.


Is that you singing?

Nice! :AOK: :AOK: :beer: ude:

(To be honest, it was never my favorite song either, but you've improved it alot, Jimi.)

I like your rendition. Good voice, and sounds soulful the way you play it.:AOK:

Besides being one of the few germans that actually can sing in English (*hint* scorpions not part of this group*hint*) you also do it with a excellent voice. I like your arrangement, but I really dont like the sound coming out of the variax. Go for a regular acoustic for this one. +1

Thanks for all your nice comments, although this is judt a "wedding" song.
I will play this song on a Guilkd acoustic, not on the variax of course!

Thanks for that "a German that can sing English".

You have a Guild Acoustic? I like the ones I have tried. Tell us more! The ones I tried were built recently in the Tacoma plant in my home town. (See Tacoma guitar thread)

I can't imagine anyone doing a better job with that song than that.

As an aside, when that song was popular I used to sing, "She's breaking wind in her jeans. She's passing gas next to me."

Great sound Jimi..as usual! they will really enjoy and remember this song the rest of their marrage..and then some..

The song will likely last longer than the marriage..

I RARELY get the time (like tonight) where I get to sit down and listen to others..

Lot of talent folk around here, you included.. I am starting to feel a bit silly by my meager offerings..

Nice **** man.. works good for me tonight anyways...

great ear,...
