Hi there! That’s a new week and the holidays are coming soon!
Currently I’m asked a lot about my videos sounding a bit better 🤗
So, I’m more of a live performer on stage. I’m more into rock’n’roll vibe with lots of strumming which easily causes lots of noise if the recording techinique is not decent!
Since I started to share my music here, I started to do another style of myself to make the sound clearer. I have been enjoying so much this journey of learning to record better sound and bringing you better experience.
This is a lovely journey with full of joy and appeciation!
Alright, now I’m gonna tag one of my favorite musicians here on Hive @edprivat
Why? 😂
I’ve been watching him doing epic covers of my favorite songs, and today, right now, I literally just saw and watched his video while mine is getting uploaded!
And you know what? I’m posting the same song! Haha 😆
His version is super epic, and I was like: Humm... Should I post mine? Should I not? Then I decided to keep going, cause this actually proves that Otis Redding music is real legend! 😤
Yesterday, I saw a post on Music Community sharing Otis Redding stuff – I got so excited cause he has been my favorite musician the whole time who sang his soul out loud! – along with Sam Cooke, The Temptations,...
Today I spent all day outside trying to shoot a live video outside of playing this song, but all of sudden my micro to record outdoor music did not work.
Then I came back and and used this small microphone which I sticked on my camera, and with a little simple sound card – I was set!
Learning to record little by little has been very exciting to me! And I know later on – like after a year or so, it’s gonna be more glorious!
I’m just happy to make little progress everyday – and when you recognized this in the last videos – It made me so happy! ^^
(Sittin’ on) The Dock of The Bay – It has been my favorite song to play, specially during the lockdown when we were all stuck inside, each word of the lyrics were dancing in my head.
There were days I left everything behind and took a long ride to sit on a dock of bay in Da Nang too, and it made me resonate with this song even more!
As a stage performer – once again I think I love to unconsciously keep the melody a bit upbeat. I always imagine there is a cajon playing along with me haha
Have good day there with the music we share!
Here are the lyrics (and if you love Otis Redding too, let me know!)
Little Beatle ♫
(Sittin' on) The Dock of The Bay
Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes
Watching the ships roll in
Then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
'Cause I've had nothin' to live for
It look like nothin's gonna come my way
So I'm just gon' sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin' time
Look like nothin's gonna change
Everything, still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, yes
Sittin' here restin' my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone, listen
Two thousand miles, I roam
Just to make this dock my home
Now I'm just gon' sit, at the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh yeah
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time...

Excellent musical influence, nice voice and a guitar played subtly and pleasantly. I like it!
Hi @nbarrios67 ! Thank you for the generous compliment! Who are you favorite musicians? Maybe I know them too! 😀
Hello, I would like to tell you that I really like rock, especially progressive rock like Yes, Asia, Gentle Giant, Genesis. But I am also very attracted to Soul and Jazz: Ella Fizgerald, Gene Krupa, Nina Simone, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, Otis Redding. I love Norah Jones and Joss Stone!!!!. Greetings from Venezuela. You show a lot of talent.
Oh you've got great taste in music there! 🤩 I love those soul musicians too! And classic rock! Thank you! I'm happy you stopped by! Keep shining! 🥳
You know what they say? "Great Minds think alike!"
I love your version; you changed the chords, and the sound was very cool! Well done always trying to improve yourself!
Yeah Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye, Donny Hattaway, are all legends of soul music, and you shall never feel ashamed or impressed, you are Little Beatle!
You're rhythm was very cool, you keep it steady all along, it was perfect for your style!
aw yes I heard that statement! I believe so! 😋😎
So great to share pretty-much-alike music taste with you. Your versions are always so chill and how you change the rhythm excites me a lot! It is somehow unpredictable and exciting!
I used to be more chill but since I started play Beatles, I got into classic rock and I got into that vibe. I love listening to styles like yours and I love playing some upbeat rhythm. Good rhythm makes my heart dance and help me to release my crazy energy from the inside better 😆
I'll look forward to hearing more of those old stuff if you play them someday! 😊
Wow that's such a heartfelt response, I enjoyed it very much!
Old Stuffs...LOL...YOu mean Best Stuffs hahah.

Beautiful beautiful music... Your voice makes me remember Asa.
It has this subtle soothing country vibe.
Welldone!
Aw thank you! Yes this reminds everyone a lot of Asia and Vietnam. The subtle culture always leaves you long term impression! 😊
Hahahaha how crazy that you and @edprivat have chosen the same song, he is a great musician and he has knowledge of advanced production and although he makes simple covers his sound is always a professional sound, you are also achieving a good sound @littlebeatle, I really liked this song, I like that you are striving to learn to record better, I have equipment to record, but for now I can not do it :( I'm still waiting to have a PC because my computer is damaged so I'm still recording raw sound with the phone hehehe greetings!!!!
Trust me I've been enjoying your phone recording so much here! But yeah it's also fun to do it with the equipment! Let's just say it's 2 different dishes and both are delicious haha!
Ed is 100% my favorite. It's not just about the quality of his products, it's also his mindset in making music. That's 100% admirable! 😀
