Anyone want to add the vocal melody on guitar, or even sing it?

Hello, Guitargate!

A co-worker showed me this video a few years ago. I went into it with an eye roll and a bad attitude. Five minutes later I was standing stunned and asking to watch it again.

This is the most surprising and incredible performance of Little Drummer Boy that I've seen. Perfect for watching on repeat this time of year - or anytime you need a musical mood booster!

Happy holidays, everyone!

One of the quintessential ballads of the 90s!

I'd been wanting to post this for a while, but kept forgetting! Just the first few verses and choruses of this song.

Very light gauge strings. Tuning is raised to BEADF#B THEN capo 3rd fret. You could also try capo 10th fret, but you might not have enough room without a cutout.

Love the song!

This is a good chord progression to just let play and blast around in Em pentatonic. All strings tuned down half step!

@ShangriLaStudio Here is the main guitar part. Go ahead and download and add your vocals and your buddy's bass over the loop. I'll come back afterward and add guitar fills...just leave whatever room you want to "the end."

Check out it - this is my second favorite AiC tune!

I really wanted to go for this one "blind." Basically just tried to copy what I heard from Michael's tracks. It was a good project for the weekend!

One of a few favorites from further down in my feed.

A much earlier post - just bringing it here for anyone new looking at the group.

Thanks for posting the song, Ian! I added some light "2nd guitar."

You know... It's a hopeful kind of day! Good stuff happening here!

Welcome!
Looking forward to continuing the good times and good music with everyone!
I think it would be neat to upload videos, once in a while, that show our "process" of putting songs together. Kind of like Michael does, I guess!

Made this private just for now. Added some accompanying stuff - really not my strong suit, but I gave it a go! Poke holes!

Guitargate's own Kyle Bledsoe with an incredible take on a festive tune we all know!

Thanks for the session, Michael and everyone!

I did a version today, also based closely on Michael's version. My buddy, Kyle, hopped on and added a solo, so I can't share the song from my feed in the usual way.

Here is the link!!

I'd be interested to hear what you think of this sometime!

Thanks for keeping these coming, Michael!

Here's my version of this week's tune!

Hello, world!

Yessir, thanks for joining! If there is anything I can do to help with testing or anything, let me know. I'm hoping to use this as practice for future use in posting vids, etc.

Follow up to the popular 30 Seconds to Mars video. Chad Smith delivers another mind-blowing, one-take performance that sounds like it should just be how the song goes.
