This week, I decided to strip it way back. This is essentially acoustic guitar supporting my good friend (and killer singer), Jacoba. It’s a girl-power song.
Giddy-up!
- Eliot.

Wow, it’s good enough for me. Great guitar work, Eliot, and your singer is a real find! How you are doing this, I don’t know, but you are following a wonderful example of perseverence!!!
Something was missing for me. Vocals are real good but there’s a lot of great singers out there that would use more range. Maybe that’s it. Give her some high notes that she powers into and vibratos out of Eliot, rather than hope she’ll hit the high note in the middle of her run. Each verse line the melody drops down instead of going higher. Maybe she could back herself up to give it more punch. I’d nix the last heavier instrumental and make up the lost time with a bridge. Maybe that’s it, no bridge only the instrumental. Overall I liked the acoustic and her voice together and I liked the first acoustic instrumental idea but would drop the last bit of that instrumental which I found predictable, and throw a wee bit of flair (pull offs etc), otherwise it was just ok for me.
Awesome - I liked it. Something just
a little different and upbeat. Great job to you both.
the crowd goes wild!!!
great work guys!
I’ll be downstairs watching (cars)
(little inside humor there)
love the verse, love the idea, just think the chorus is to high to fast. the harmony made a little difference. (better).
Great job.
That’s 2 weeks in a row…really like this one and she has a great voice.
One question…what does “Loving you is no substitute for the real stuff” mean?
Wow, she can sing! I agree with everything that Ken said though. It’d be nice to hear a real drummer too but I guess they’re hard to come by. Keep it up El, I’ve got the feeling you’re just hitting you’re stride!
I like it for the most part - not sure I would have understood what she says in the chorus if not for the words being in front of me. But like the “speed” (?) of the song…not a trained musician here so hard to describe what I am thinking sometimes
