    I had this playing while working from home. As I listened, my cat jumped up on my desk, and I took a break for a few minutes to just pet her. It really fit the mood, because that was a very happy moment. This is an absolutely beautiful take on Happy, and may be my favorite cover of this song that I've heard yet.

  • @dajoker51

      @GetInThaKitchen Před 9 lety +17

      Couldn't agree more. I was fully expecting her to sing in that annoying, fake indie-pop voice that girls all sing in on CZcams covers these days, but she was just having fun with the music instead of trying to make it about her.

      +Cameron You can see at 4:52 that it´s the RC.20xl... which is weird because (so far as I know) with the rc20 one cannot record 2 different tracks at the same time, so, it would be impossible to come back to the chorus at the end of the song.

      the chords arent everything. If you listen to jazz most people would assume its really complicated, but miles davis modal tune "So what" is only in two modes the entire time. Its simple but its insanely complex.

    • @relaxandlearn2323
      @relaxandlearn2323 Před 4 lety +1

      @@hezekiahdaggett2179 Great Example, And the twelve Bar Blues are only "Three Chords" but those three chords modulate through different tonal centers (there is only one Dominant 7 chord in each key yeah) And to make things more interesting the blues scale that is super imposed against those chords are "Minor" scales... To think that this art form was created by "Uneducated Slaves" is to underestimate the intelligence of the human spirit. Unbelievably harmonically complex. While being intuitive, feeling natural , and communicating deep emotion. I Studied Music for 6 years in University and if you want to ask me which song Id like to play at a jazz jam. I choose So what by Miles Davis. because everyone in the rhythm section can play it. But the sounds that are possible are out of this world.

      I believe they're harmonics and can only be played on certain frets properly (the ones I know are 12th 7th and 5th). Don't hold me on this but you have to rest your finger very lightly on the string and then as you play release it! Hope this made sense

    Awesome! I have an RC20XL. How did you revert to the original drum track during the verse while still saving the overdubs for later playback during chorus? I'm also impressed at how you utilized the first drum track and added new overdubs for the bridge. I'm trying to figure it out and am having no luck...

      Dustin Ryan No doubt she's talented. I loved the performance. I'm just curious to see if the loop station I have has the same feature of recalling and silencing overdubs I'm live performance. I just realized that the drums on the verse were her hands, but I'm still questioning the reverting to original drums on bridge, adding new overdubs, and recalling all original overdubs for verse repeat. Any answers?

      Jamin Leonares The RC‑30 which is the looper pictured doesnt have that feature. which is what leads me to believe this was not live.

      Maybe she made one loop of that and other loop on other pedal then she recorded another loop later
