The Capitol Guitars CD is hot off the press and the song I recorded for it is Johnny B. Goode by Chuck Berry. I recorded all of the guitar tracks and vocals. My friend, Luke Pehoski, laid down the bass and drum tracks and my guitar teacher, Jack Mansk, did all the final mixing and production of the CD.
The tempo is slower than the original recording as I am not able to play the song up to speed, yet. The vocals are a little strained, in my opinion, as the key is a step or two on the high side for my vocal range, as Rob Halford I am not. I think it turned out pretty good considering I have really only been taking guitar lessons for 6 months and I have not done any “real” singing in 30+ years since graduating from high school.
So here it is, the first single from the John Ellis Band, a cover of Johnny B. Goode.
