Mort's blind cover song challenge

Post by mortatone »

Here's the words and chords to a song you probably haven't heard.

DON'T GOOGLE AND LISTEN TO IT IF YOU WANT TO PLAY.

The challenge is just to take what is here in front of you and do a cover in any genre, tempo, instrumentation etc. It's best if you have no preconception of what the original song sounds like but if you already know it and want to play anyway, that's cool too.

Anything from acapella to multi-track fancy smanshy is encouraged.

Anyone interested? There's no time limit but hurry the fuck up :lol: :lol:

This sounds like a really cool challenge.

I will never have time to do this but I think it's genius . It will certainly result in some serious creativity .

Don't know that I'll be able to try it myself, either (pattern here?), but interesting concept and I'm posted to mark the thread so I can see what others do! :thu:

Cool idea, Jeff! I never seem to have the time or patience for recording, but maybe I'll take a swing...

Sounds fun. My already limited free musicing time is being occupied by three video game song covers, though. If inspiration strikes I might tackle it.

I'll have to wait awhile to even think about this. Having a broken finger on my left hand is putting a pretty big crimp on my playing.

I’m dying to do this. I might be able to put it together next week. Trying to get past this illness that fucked up my arm muscles.
