    @rocker doesn’t have to be a guitar cover … my last one wasn’t. And I think Danger Zone on piano and accordion could kick bottom.
    Actually, @Bezzer said my brass part sounded like an accordion on the previous cover challenge ('Beauty Has Her Way'). So if anyone needs any advice on getting inadvertent accordion sounds, I'm your man :)

    No pressure intended @Rocker if you don't want to enter. These things don't appeal to everyone. At least I kept my promise, and it helped me pick a song beginning with D.



    Thanks @stratman3142. ; I would like to enter but shortage of time is a problem for me.  I am preparing for our family singsongs at Christmas and the New Year and I have musician friends who call every two weeks for a music session.  I am in the process of trying to setup a recording system on my computer.  Realistically it will be several months before I get comfortable recording and mixing.

    Just do an acoustic version on your phone.

    we don’t judge on production it’s judged on interpretation and performance… get your family to join in!…or your muso mates…

    I'm in, but probably not one of the suggested tracks.

    Yes I am too, but also not for either of the tracks. I do like both though, especially 'Danger Zone' which is one of my favourite film clips to turn my little surround sound system up to maximum and sit with a silly grin.

    Good afternoon all. Been out of this for a while but I'm going to commit to a return.

    Looking forward to destroying a song that I don't like. Better see if I can remember how to work Reaper and brush up on my Spanish

    Mine is recorded and partly mixed, but in a holding pattern behind the earlier Composition arrival.

    Why did I pick a genre that needs a lot of production tweaks when I've forgotten how to use Reaper? 

    Might be closer to the deadline for my submission

    Sent mine.

    I've called it "Desperado cheat" because I patched it together phrase by phrase, as I worked it out. Now I need to learn to play the whole thing in one go :)

    It's not a competition.

    @stratman3142 have to say, well done sir! That’s a really nice arrangement. I bloody despise the original and that’s maintained the feel but made it something I can listen too.

    and cut out about 78 minutes which may also help

    Thanks. I have to stress that I did it section by section as I worked it out. But I suppose I could learned to play it in one pass if I get the time.

    @poopot I've added a picture to the track now. I couldn't think what to do, so I ended up drawing it myself. I tried to draw what a Desperado might look like. But, to my eye, it seems to have come out looking a bit like David Gilmour with a beard and hat

    Hey, get it down how you have to get it down, takes nothing away from the arrangement or the performance in my opinion. You’ve done some fab work on that.

    You make a valid point! Ha ha.  Still don't like to let the side down though.

    Please remind me never to do modern pop ever again. My zero knowledge of how to get good synth tones plus only having a couple of free plugins means this is going to sound like it was recorded only using a cheap Casio keyboard from 1983.

    And I've not even done the vocals yet. Apologies in advance!

    Sent. Decided to quickly get something down so went to my comfort zone of German Industrial Metal.

    Will try to submit my other idea as well
