Mama You've Been On My Mind (Dylan / Harrison)

This song was originally by Bob Dylan but because his version sounds completely different from George Harrison's version I pretty much consider this one Lyrics: Bob and Music: George.

I wanted to try to use this intonation tool on my audio software but because the guitar and voice were recorded together I couldn't isolate the voice alone to use it.  The tool reads the music and shows you a chart where your notes are and you can manually put them in tune whereas auto-tune graps every note I believe and slams it into perfect pitch which gives it that robot sound. 

The goal of this one is I wanted to sing it for a gig coming up but also because now that I think I have a pretty good sense of 'placement' in order to form a connection with your throat and breath (ugh I hate this abstract vocal speak), whats even harder is to connect at lower volumes - or at least to me it is.  I remember a professor in school emphasizing how difficult it is to hit a high note softly with enough intention to project into an opera theater.  

Also this one I learned in 2 days and threw together a roadmap of how I wanted to sound and just wanted to record it.  6 months ago I would have never posted a recording that sounds this rough, but its important I think to become accustomed to just letting it go and moving on - plus no one really cares if it isn't perfect anyway.
