Rough Cuts #4 - my cover of "Everybody Knows" by Leonard Cohen
This is pulled from the same recording session as #1, as you may be able to tell from my look and attire.
I don't have much more to say about it, other than this is one of my favorite songs. Leonard Cohen was an amazing writer, and the world truly has no idea of the depth of our loss without him.
This performance is more in the style of Concrete Blonde, who did a great cover of this song for the "Pump Up The Volume" soundtrack. Great band, great movie. Check them both out if you haven't before.
I hope you enjoy the show!

Nice, man!
Thanks! I was pretty pleased with this one myself, with just one little slip in the chords, and a handful of missed vocal notes.
It's always funny to me how I can perform a song flawlessly hundreds of times, but turn on that camera, and my brain and fingers just forget what they're doing!
Man, I know exactly what you mean. Any time I go to record my guitar its like I regress to being a guitar newb. You kept on tho, that's the way to do it!
The next one I plan to post has a couple truly rough cuts, where I brain farted so bad my whole body just forgot what to do for a second, and I cut that part out of the video!
Haha, those are the best bits!
Greetings brother! We have noticed that you have participated four weeks in a row, we are very happy, but you have not fulfilled our most important requirement, which is to indicate at the beginning of your video that it is an exclusive participation for the Hive Open Mic. It is necessary that you do it from now on, indicating the number of the week in which you are participating and your user name, it is our way to verify that it is a new video and that it is only used for our musical community.
Below you will find our Community Guidelines for you to know all the requirements and you can also see how the rest of the participants do it. We hope to see you next week fulfilling our requirements, have a nice day!

My apologies, I was simply trying to abide by the guidelines on the Community page, which were quite a bit less complex. I did not realize there was supposed to be a weekly theme, or an introduction requirement (which I'm vehemently against), or a requirement to produce your own backing music (which I do anyway), since so many of the posts seem to use karaoke tracks.
I thought the 'weekly participation' bit was more of a contest, which was why I labeled my posts as 'Rough Cuts', so as not to be confused with contest entries.
Sorry about the confusion, I will simply post my rough cuts to my blog until I can find a more suitable Community for them. I hope to produce some more polished videos later this year, which I will post in Hive Open Mic as a participant.
Thanks for the heads up, and for all you bring to Hive and 3Speak!
No problem with the music, you're doing great, we just ask that at the beginning of the video you say that it is an exclusive participation for the Hive Open Mic. We still recommend the sister Music Community for original music and covers outside of the Hive Open Mic dynamic, but we invite you to continue participating in our community by following these suggestions. Happy start of the week brother! ✌️
