Just set a simple picking for this Céline Dion’s song who was written by the famous Jean-Jacques Goldman French songwriter and singer.

I wanted to experiment a two guitars recording with this song, each one being paned on a different side. I used a different Line 6® Variax Acoustic 700 model for each side : the Parlor (based on the 1941 Martin® 5-17) and the Dreadnut (based on the 1960 Martin® D-21). Both are playing the same patterns, with very simple variations which resulted on something nice to my ears and my voice in the middle.

I made some progress on my producing skills which was the main goal of this exercise and of course I hope to do better the next times.

I always wanted to record the songs I used to play in bars a long time ago but I have to admit I lost a lot of skills. Several years that I haven’t exposed myself (either on stage, bars or even participation to recordings) and my guitar play and my singing abilities ain’t doing great as you may imagine…

I have been practicing everyday for one year now but I’m far from total recovery. Anyway, if I don’t jump into water again, I won’t improve anything. This is why, despite all the imperfections you will hear in this short video I decided to put my credit as a musician at jeopardy with a tendinitis and a cold…

I found motivation in this exercise and that’s what matters. I hope to do better for the next twenty covers or so I still have on my list.

Stay tuned!
