Hold Me Beer After my very dark piece I thought I should lighten it up a little. Thus this song about beer drinking buddies on vacation. PS, I know that my weak point is singing and singing effects so any suggestions you can offer would be gratefully appreciated. BiaB Style - Motor Town Classic RnB Off-Road (OMG his is using RTs!) The lyrics are on Soundcloud.

Mario,
This is AWESOME! You have some serious swing & swagger going on here!
Love your vocal - the best I have heard from you. The lyrics, arrangement and mix all work perfectly.
Love it!
Bob

Mario, sounds like you were almost having as much fun recording this as I was having listening! Super barrel house tune. Your RTs(!) sound great and are nicely mixed. I think your vocals are quite strong and entirely suitable to the genre. If you're looking for constructive suggestions on the vocal FX, my impression is that the FX mask the clarity of your vocals more than they might. So you might try dialing your vocal FX chain back, substituting a slap-back delay, or experimenting with a longer pre-delay on your reverb. But as I've said before, I won't enjoy this song more if you do that. Ha! Nice one, Mario!

A bunch of buddies on a mountain weekend getaway and well-supplied with liquid refreshments. Brings back memories from highschool ![smile smile](/forums/images/graemlins/default/smile.gif) This was fun, good job.

This is pure fun, nice to hear after your darker and slower ones ![smile smile](/forums/images/graemlins/default/smile.gif) I can imagine how you got the idea for this song, you said "Hold my beer" and started playing ![smile smile](/forums/images/graemlins/default/smile.gif) Very cinematic story, I would like to see a video, because it would be easy to make, although quite costy because of all the beer and damage caused to the vehicles ![wink wink](/forums/images/graemlins/default/wink.gif) Catchy chorus, I can't get it out of my head now. No problem with your singing, fits perfectly to the mood. That guitar solo is cleverly in harmony with the message. Janne

Mario,
Good to hear ya sing89ng one. I don't think the vocal needs anything - it's fine as is.
Good selection of backing tracks. That bass line is great! I'm just bopping along with the song - enjoying every bit of it! Cool song. Hope the beer was cold!
Take care,
Alan

Great idea for a song, Mario. I've heard this saying so many times, and you're right, it usually precedes a memorable event --that is if ya lve through it. Your vocal is a stronger part than you seem to realize. I think it should be more out in front and wider. Do you duplicate the track?

Mario, I’ve said this before. You should definitely sing more. There is absolutely nothing wrong with your vocals. The lyrics are fun and I look forward to more of them. I’ve been told many times that I couldn’t sing. It took me many years to realize I don’t give a ####! The older you get the easier it rolls off your back. Great job, Tom

Hi Mario,
just like Marty, you make songs at a very fast pace. Awesome! And just like him, you make songs about booze. And now you start singing just like him! Time for a duet?
Very nice yo hear you singing again, Mario. Too bad I don't like beer. But the good thing about that is, your beer will be save with me ;-) Don't ask this with wine!
Hans

I did to sing a few songs back in my gigging days but I got away from it. I'm slowly getting back into it however I do have a problem with lyrics. They just don't come easily to me.

Hi, Mario. Fun, jaunty tune. That solo was... something else. ![laugh laugh](/forums/images/graemlins/default/laugh.gif) I'm with Ron on the suggestion of your vocals. They're fine, so don't hide them behind effects.
