Thread: Over The Rainbow

  1. #1

    Default Over The Rainbow

    This is my cover of John Reischmann's version of Over The Rainbow. I first saw John's version in a link from this forum somewhere. I used my new Kentucky KM 505, and the Thomann Ovid System CC 100 instrument microphone that has been discussed in a couple of other threads. I know that the chords at the very end are not quite right, so if anyone can point me in the right direction it would be appreciated!

    I hope you like it, and any comments on technique etc. would be gratefully accepted!

    Direct link in case embedding doesn't work!

    It should be embedded Bill. Are you using Forum Runner? I have noticed that embedded videos don't seem to show up in forum runner until you click on it so it switches to a new screen.

    This should be a direct linkhttp://youtu.be/biIWI9m_nE8

    Couldn't get it but that's probably me. The chords you are likely having trouble with are D and D# then D and E if played in D. Starting with. "someday I'll wish upon a star" if that helps

    Thanks for taking the trouble to reply Mandoplumb, the chords I am struggling with are at the very end of the song, and I think are peculiar to John Reischmann's version.

    Jim, thanks for embedding the video. Since Bill first pointed it out it seems that it shows up embedded for me when I am logged on, and does not display if I am logged out - odd!

    Hey Rob, I watched this while I was browsing mando vids on You Tube and was impressed. Really nice KM-505, too. I have my eye on one of those.

    Thanks lflngpicker I really like the KM 505, I actually only bought it because I wore out the frets on my previous mandolin, and had a gig looming, but I have been really pleased with the sound. The one in the video actually had to be returned because of a crack in the back plate, but the replacement is just as nice sounding. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.
