Omg I did it!!!

Wow that was quite a challenge :)

For those that are familiar with my covers, some of you maybe remember me covering this song in 2018?
Yes? No?

Anyway, there are few songs that I really enjoy playing from time to time to check my levels, and if my technique improved: Spanish Joint by D'Angelo, Ribbons in the sky by Stevie Wonder, and Me and Mrs Jones by Billy Paul. All these songs have difficult moments that require focus and technique.

When I recorded a version in 2018, I discarded a lot of good harmonic info, and the version, while getting me tons of upvotes and being somewhat a success, left me with a false sense of completion.

While rewatching my performance, I coudln't help but feel somewhat a little bit disappointed by the lack of emotion, the lack of clarity, and soul.

Here is a way for me to redeem myself, with a sweaty version of a soul classic . Me and Mrs Jones.

I am not gonna tell you that it was hard, that I had to redo it several times, hence why I look like I just ran a marathon. I want you to believe that it was a one shot...

You can be sure that this one is going on Youtube very soon, but for now it's exclusive on 3speak for you my hive people.

Cheers!

This is wonderful, thanks so much!!!

Very well done.
I'm not familiar with the song but I definitely like your version of it!

It's a song about adultery, Mrs Jones represents the "side piece".

This song is so great. Nice cover, @edprivat!

It is indeed a fantastic song, thanks for passing by @wiseagent 🤙

Ha... You do look kind of beaten up, but I would too if I was trying that tune with all the change-ups and vocal acrobats required. That is... if I ever was to pick a guitar back up after all these years😏

You did alright though, regardless of all those hidden attempts. Let it all out... that's what it's about anyway... letting it out... once tuned in to the great Cosmos bringing you to that place inside where it naturally flows.

Cheers, buddy.

Yes, I would like to get back into playing; at least picking on a regular basis. I sense a guitar coming back into my life, shortly...😎
