Hi Steemit! Here’s my attempt at a minimal/jazzy rendition of a christmas song.
It was a struggle for me to hit some of these notes with my voice... but who cares- it's christmas! :)
I pieced together / stripped down a few versions I found online and came up with this:
If you have any questions or can't read my writing, please ask! And please share if you make a version of your own. I would love to hear it :)
Happy caroling

OMG!! I loved the AbmAug56th chord????? and your voice, the vibrato and the effects on your guitar and everything. AAHH
Ahh thank you so much, @miguelarl! I’m happy you noticed that Abm%{^,#?... ;) i love those off sounding transitional chords. <3
you reminded me a little maybe the first album of St Vincent. A beautiful minute and a half that I have repeated about ten times already. Thanks for sharing
That’s really sweet of you to say, thank you! :> Oh hey, the guitar effect is a preset on my Zoom-CDR pedal called 63 Spring Reverb - “A ’63 Fender Reverb model and tremolo are combined in this vintage surf sound.” I highly recommend that pedal! It’s relatively cheap and has a ton of pedal emulations inside of it.
How can you control so many things with that little pedal? I want to try hahaha. I have the zoom g5 pedal with which I love to make some weird sounds. If you want, you can check it here. Do you have a band or something?
Nice! I just followed you as Bathing Belles -- that's @amyinautumn and me :)
Hey @miguelarl, I'd love to use your "Kh" track in episode 2 of this podcast I'm working on... it has that rad outer-space-broken-radio-transmission vibe that would work perfectly for what I'm doing!
The podcast is about astrology, and it's called What's Up Planets? -- we're still in the beginning stages. If you are interested, will you email it to whatsupplanets{at}gmail? I'd credit you anywhere it was posted. No worries if you aren't :)
Yess! I followed her when i see her pretty nice entry for the openmic. You two sound sooooo great
And about the Kh song (I loved how you described it hahaha) in your podcast, it would be a pleasure!!! I'll try to send it tomorrow
@kindstranger. I only said: I like so much your "White Chritsmas", because i'm not a musician I'm public I applaud. Upvoted
Have a beautiful christms spirit day
Thank you, @mllg! Happy Xmas :)
super etherial sound you've gor there girl- i dig it! <3 I know you said it was higher than your range but you still nailed it-- well done!
Thank you so much, @dayleeo :)
You're so welcome @kindstranger! <3
Nice! Your voice is so light and cushy, and it compliments your echoey electric guitar in a way that takes me places. Trippy! And pretty.
