Billie Jean on New (old) Taylor

[skim500]

I got my kid a nice Taylor 812ce 12 from a nice member on the forum. Here's what we did with it. I played a $250 Ibanez bass with flatwound strings.

[Mr.Bill101]

That was great! Loved the music, the singing, the photography, and got a good laugh at the ending. Thanks for sharing.

[Scott O]

Excellent! Did she approve of dad doing that at the end?

[skim500]

Thanks guys. Scott, I believe it's every father's obligation to embarrass their daughters!

[cigarfan]

That's a special bond right there.

Nice song. You all sound great together. Family voices really blend.

Thanks for sharing.

Good fun. I liked the stripped clean arrangement. Voice was great. And yes, you were doing it. Always fun to make music with family. Cheers, Dave

[J.R. Rogers]

Cool version. She sounds good. The cat was enjoying it too I think. Nice bass work, dad!

Very cool. Father/daughter collabs are special!

[skim500]

Thanks guys. The more we play together, the more fun it is. It's the first time I played the bass (on a video); good thing the bass line just repeats over and over. It's as much as I could handle! Those flatwound strings sound great but are slippery.

Shot to playback?

[skim500]

Yes Brent. After the first cut, we sync in the additional camera angles (I only have one camera). It's a bit tedious but we think it's more interesting looking in the end.

[Brent Hahn]

Cool. Had to either be that or tiny elves with GoPros.

It looks and sounds great -- nice job, both of you!
