{VIDEO} the making of "Sweet Sour" cover song

My take on the "BAND of SKULLS" song . . . Sweet Sour.  
Any comments or suggestion are greatly appreciated.

If you have the time I've made a video that shows the studio and the making of Sweet Sour.

    Wow, I love this.  I've never heard the original, so I must look them up, but you own this version.  Very impressive, Kev!

    All the best,

    Hey Kev!  I don't know the original either.

    but DAAAAAAUUUNGGG!

    this song and production is fantastic!  I was hooked from that sweet guitar intro, but when the vocals and harmonies kicked in...WOW!

    this is simply fantastic!

    Hey LYNN . . . 
    THANK YOU very much for your support.  Give the "BoS" a listen.   Not one of my favorite bands but this song did something for me.

    Hello REECE . . .
    Those are some powerful words that are GREATLY appreciated.  THANKS AGAIN!

    Hey Daryl . . .
    I'm so glad you gave this a listen.  Your words and ears are so appreciated. THANKS!

    Yo SCOTTY . . .
    Another set of ears I really appreciate.  THANK YOU!

    Hey FRANK . . .
    THANKS much Frank!  The story on the guitar was I tuned it to my low end speaking voice.  Thinking that maybe I wouldn't strain to hit the higher notes.  I guess it works.   THANKS again!


    Hello JAMES . . .
    Not quite the sound/tone your getting from your acoustic guitar recording but I'm getting closer.  THANK YOU very much for the props and listen.


    Thanks Again Gents!
    Kev

    Good job on this Kev! What the heck is that guitar tuned to? It sounds like it's in between a B and a C. LOL! That's loooowww! Hahaha! Sounds great though! Clean and poppy. You may have gotten away with a little more low end in your vox if you wanted to...they sound good the way they are...but a little more thickness to match that low, thick guitar might be worth a visit. This was really cool though, nice job! :)

     Kevin I think you nailed the acoustic guitar. I don't think I have heard much better. What kind of guitar is that? You also nailed the harmonies. Great work!

    Hello STARISE . . .
    THANK YOU for the listen and kiind words.  I used a Martin . . . one of the cheaper models.  I tuned it to my low end speaking voice.  I'm glad to hear your liking my vox/harmonies.  Maybe I should tune my guitar that low all the time.  THANKS again for the ears.

    I think it was simple and nice with the choirs (do you say that?) And we all do know how hard it is to do something simple - its hard. Good work!

    You never cease to amaze me Kev. Outstanding work as always. I am curious to see what the results of Danny's thoughts would be. I agree that the vox are cut pretty deep, but at the same time, it is a nice juxtaposition with the slappy guitar.

    Hello EKO . . .
    You can say that again. THANK YOU for your props and ears.

    Hey SHAD . . .
    Man, you don't know how much I appreciate your help/suggestion and kind words. But, now after seeing your new video (about 5 times) and seeing what a story music can tell along with video, looks like fun.  I can see that was some project you took on but WOW. . . it looks and sounds so cool.  Again, I THANK YOU for your support.

    Hey BEN . . .
    Great to see you and your ears.  THANKS much for the props.

    Yo JAY . . .
    I'm not much of a singer but Its cool to see that you and others are liking the harmonies.  THANK YOU very much for the listen.

    Thanks Again!

    Great stuff Kev. Love the low tuned guit. I didn't know the tune so I googled it. You really took this to a different place. I like your version better than the Skulls.

    THANK YOU very much for the props.  I'm not big fan of "BOS" but that song just had such a cool vibe.  THANKS AGAIN!

    Hello KEV . . .
    Glad to hear the tone of the acoustic is working.  I have such a hard time trying to get a warmer not so crispy tone.  THANKS much for the props and ears.

    THANKS GENTS!

    I wasn't familiar w/the cover? But I am familiar w/the style, and you killed it... One thing that could have made this better is a fiddle, or maybe a harmonica? It needs something in the fills outside of just the guits (which are quite excellent) but a different timbre if you know what I'm saying? Very nice though.

    I like Sweet and Sour, but ****y Meatballs are good too? Anything with a hot spicy sauce? The hotter, and the spicier, the better IMO... I can never get enough spice.

    Guitar paradise -- hahahahah!  (Sorry I don't remember/know the song for which this is a tribute)

    Wonderful classic vibe, guitar timbres (and precious artifacts), vox intonations (compassionate and unique) and solid backing vocs 

    ... that PERFECT rock ballad to my ears!
