THE WANDERER
Originally recorded by Dion DiMucci in the 60's

Used the rock shuffle style on my PSR S750 and played the chords with a sax ensemble. This recording was a plug in the USB thumb, cue the Yamaha built in audio recorder and sit play and sing production. Turned it into MP3 with Audacity.

Don, that's the same style I use for that song in the S-950. Good job, but a bit of constructive criticism. You need more fills, a few more breaks, and a good guitar, instrumental somewhere near the middle of the song. Overall, good job my friend.

Appreciate the advice Gary. Solos are a good opportunity to rest your voice. Need to work on my chops and incorporate them more often. I also need to get more familiar with OTS. Until I edit them and add them to the registration they are invariably way too loud.

God Bless,
Don

Been kicking this tune around for a while and since it's now shown up here, I thought I might as well put it up on here, too.

Recorded by propping up my iPad on the sofa, and is sitting about five feet to the left of our Bose L1. Keyboard is my trusty Korg Pa1xPro, harmony via the on-board TC Helicon. Just messing about in the basement really, warts 'n all. smile

Great Job Donny? What keyboard did you use back then? I'm tempted to go back to my shuffle style and change guitars to piano as I noticed that your backing was very close to the original where they used piano. When your song opened up the first bar took me back all the way to my teen years when I listened to this on the radio. That shuffle piano is what I remember hearing on Dion's hit.

Good stuff comparing like this.
God Bless,
Don

I'm not sure it was a while back but I would say it's either the Tyros 2 or Psr3000, against a SMF.... I agree the shuffle style works very well with this song,...especially for dancing.
But these days with my S950 I use a different style for it.
Shuffle Blues 2.

They all sound pretty darned good. I think Donny's was a Tune 1000 midi file, at least that's the way it sounded to me, but can't be positive about that.

Keep em comin' guys,

Correct Gary years ago I played on top of a SMF for this song.......
but now with the S950 I always do it live using the SHUFFLE BLUES 2 Style which works amazingly well.....
if I get a chance I'll record it for you..
