Julie Ford Music: Studies in Imperfectionism
Приєднався 5 чер 2016
Simply put, music, and sharing it with others, brings me joy. I've got a whole other day job, but my side passion is singing. Lucky me gets to realize that passion on a regular basis when I perform with my band the Full(ish) Professors. Sometimes, however, I crave singing solo. Acapella can only get you so far (fun fact, I DID used to sing in an Acapella group). I've dabbled with guitar and piano and my progress is slow. If I didn't give in to the powerful urge to sing while trying to fully learn an instrument, I know I'd improve much faster. But I just can't help myself. I've resigned to that fact and instead aspire to accompany myself in a way that doesn't detract too much from the vocals. Along the way, I'm having a blast trying out different instruments, techniques, genres, and vocal ranges.
Time Stand Still
I'll record a retake in the future once I've got the whole thing down. One of my favorite Rush songs of all time.

I've loved this song since I first heard it. Here's just a little sample.

My rendition is shaky and a work in progress, but I'm enjoying using it for fingerpicking work.

I'm one of 4 female RUSH fans worldwide. There's a reason their songs are rarely covered; they are masterpieces and not at all simple. With the power of a key change and a capo, here's my imperfect rendition.

My teenage son has a friend who drives an old Cadillac. I made a comment about wanting to get him a Deadhead sticker, and he didn't get the reference. Sigh...

I recently rediscovered this Rob Thomas song and was reminded how much I like it. Simple on the surface, but powerful nonetheless.

Another gem by Josiah and the Bonnevilles. Still trying to nail the B7 chord.

An exercise in singing a jumbly mouthful while trying to keep rhythm...Josiah and the Bonnevilles didn't write it, but it was his country version that inspired me
👏👏👏⭐🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶
Ok, this is cool. I've never heard anyone cover a RUSH song and redo it. Very cool. bold. Keep going. Look up Available Light - Presto Album. I dare you. :)
Presto is one of my favorite Rush albums. I've got another video where I attempt The Pass. Let me see about Available Light...
Lovely take on a great song. Waiting to hear the whole song.
Careful with the capo - sometimes the guitar is in tune without the capo, but when the capo pulls the strings to the neck, it pulls them differently and you aren't in tune anymore. Also I'm not sure I like this as a country song, but that's just me. You have a nice voice!
Just keep sounding better and better! Nice guitar, sounds perfect! 🙏🙏🦋
Thanks for the encouragement!
Yeeeaaahh! Do you study guitar here, or there, or just on your own now?
Just playing around on my own. Still so much to learn, but I am enjoying making playing habitual.
Love it! Well done ...
Thanks for listening!
could..Losing It be coming..?😊
oooh, good idea. Let me see what I can do...
idk why but that ending made me lmao

Superb version. Heavenly. Pretty good.
Thanks so much!
Really enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks.
beautiful
Thank you! 😊
This is so cool!
The Profs should do this!
Really funny you mention that because we have worked it into a few gigs. I have learned it is a whole other ballgame to sing and play w/ other instruments in the mix. Definitely humbling.
You're so awesome!! I agree! "Progress, not Perfection"!
Good job.. 👍 ❤
Studies in excellence! Nicely done! 🙏🙏🦋
