Ok. I did this back in late August, had it posted for a day, and then took it down. Originally I had cited that I wasn't pleased with it, as I arranged the tag. Looking back, it's not the best, but I think we learn for the past and it's good to see where we've come from. Anyway I wanted to share it with the community, regardless of it's acceptance.

As the winter months are come upon us, we wanted to wish you all a joyous safe holidays, and we hope that wherever you are, you'll be thinking of home with family and friends this season.

Originally I started recording N*sync's version of O Holy Night, but was quickly overcome by its difficulty, and not to mention H1N1 (seriously). After my voice healed, I decided to start fresh on something I was more familiar with, and something that was quite frankly less challenging. I realize the instrumental track makes it sound corny, but what Christmas song is without a bit of over-embellishment? Here is the outcome. Since I am posting this before Thanksgiving, I wanted to say how ...

So, when I started this channel over 3 years ago (wow has it been that long?), I had a few videos of my quartet, but mainly it was me singing with my guitar. It has evolved into multitracks, predominantly barbershop in nature, which I seem to enjoy more than anything. This is kinda a throwback to the beginnings of the channel. This is not polished at all. I did this off the cuff, and I wanted to post it. Haha, I think I'm losing my touch on the guitar...

This is a piece I've been working on for almost half a year (on and off, mostly off) since I heard it first around January. This is the third revision, and I'm pleased with it. The order of voices are from left to right: Tenor, Lead, Bass, Baritone. I recorded them over 6 days, starting with the lead (notice no headphones), and then bass the next day. Then I had to learn the tenor part movements, and then two days later I recorded that part. I recorded the final baritone track tonight after ...

Haha, in the middle of recording a new multitrack (which is near completion) I couldn't get this one out of my head, so now it's out. It's not my best work by far, I just thought it would be funny to post. Note: make sure you hit HD or it will sound like I recorded it in a tin can.

Ethan really wanted to do this one, so we hit the record button, rocked it in one take, and then left to win an arm wrestling competition. It was a draw, so we dominated a game of Wii Golf. Brothers! Our big brother Matt was not in this film. Maybe in a future endeavor....

While I was visiting home, my brother Ethan wanted to record a video with me to post. He is 18 and as you can see very talented at guitar. Electric guitar is his forte, so this is just messing around for him! This is one of 2 we recorded.

For this tag, I wanted to feature my voice as naked as can be. This means no vocal tuning, no eq, no double takes. All that was added to this video was reverb. I'm trying to stay more in pitch with the vocals at the time of recording for the sake of mixing in the future. Please let me know what you think! Go visit www.virtualbeck.webs.com for the HQ mp3s!!

This is by far my most ambitious project to date. What you are hearing is the tag sang in it's original key (Ab - Blue) and also 7 half steps lower (Db - Red) which makes what is referred to as a 'parallel fifth'. Please load in HD, otherwise it might just sound convoluted. Let me know what you think! PS - Big help from Simon (fineyleee) on this one. Thanks bud!
