Don't Be Shy by Cat Stevens (Vocal Cover)
Sit back and enjoy my cover of one of Cat Stevens’ most magical songs, "Don't Be Shy" which he wrote for the soundtrack of Harold and Maude.
🎶 Support me and my music! - buymeacoffee.com/andrewhelbig 🎶
This is the first video I’m trying where I focus on just the vocals and don’t learn a piano arrangement of the song. For one, it take a lot of time and practice to learn and play a song at the same time, and also, there are some songs (especially folk ones like this) where I just prefer the sound of a guitar being played.
So I’ll probably do some videos like this on occasion of songs that are especially fun or meaningful to me to sing.
I’ve mixed in footage around Chiang Mai for backgrounds in the beginning, a couple shots from Norther California later, as well as some footage from Harold and Maude and some concerts where Cat Stevens is playing live.
This is also the first video in a long time where I’ve done a spoken introduction. Hope I kept it entertaining and brief enough.

Bach: Cello Suite No. 6 BWV 1012: Gavottes I & II
Переглядів 114Місяць тому
A piano arrangement of the two joyful Gavottes from Bach's Cello Suite No. 6 in D Major, BWV 1012. These galanteries, or optional dances, are contrasted in character. The first is complex and courtly, the second, simple and rustic. 🎶 Support me and my music! - buymeacoffee.com/andrewhelbig 🎶 I recorded this a few months ago back during the dry season here in Thailand, and have mixed in footage ...

    No offense my friend, but I prefer to hear this song at half tempo in a more subdued tone, as if the singer is half crying. The style from the song was originally written and played is more energetic than that, and closer to your version than mine. But still, you did a good job, son. Thank you.

    • @AndrewHelbig

    I must say, that is some pretty good video editing, bringing yourself and your keyboard into the shot. I've been visiting Green Music in search of a guitar -- originally under 4000 baht, then under 5,000. I wanted an acoustic-electric, but the one I like is a Gusto guitar with a solid cedar top, rosewood back and sides. 4,500 baht. I like it -- but no pickup/electronics. I think that's the one I'm gonna have to go with, though. I like a cedar top. And a solid top. And I've always wanted a cedar/rosewood combo, actually. The action is too high -- and there's no room to lower it, as the saddle is already as low as can be, literally... The guys at Green Music have not minded me stopping there three times now and playing that guitar.
