A Couple of 80s Keyboard based covers

[KeysDude]

Hi Guys,

I've been in a bit of cover tune mode over the past couple of months. I was surfing youtube and came across a lot of isolated vocal tracks posted up and a few which are favourite tunes of mine. I thought it would be a good challenge to see if I could cover all the instruments of these tracks and below are the results. They are all mainly keyboard based songs. I played all instruments on my keyboard apart from the guitars which were all me playing guitar (I'm a guitarist as well). All of it was played by ear so maybe not entirely accurate and has my own spin on things.

Heart - Alone: https://soundcloud.com/j-d-elliott/heart-alone-cover

Van Halen - Jump: https://soundcloud.com/j-d-elliott/van-halen-jump-cover

Genesis - Land of Confusion: https://soundcloud.com/j-d-elliott/land-of-confusion-cover

Not quite sure I got the Keyboard Solo on Jump entirely right but it was a good stab at it by ear

Hope you like, Justin.

Wow they are excellent! Big thumbs up from me I'm very impressed that you did them all by ear too, good work. Think I preferred the Van Halen cover to the original.

Hey Becky,

Thanks very much for listening, wow that's a nice compliment about my VH Jump cover, I didn't think I got close to the original with my version. I sort of took the live approach Eddie does where he plays rhythm guitar along with the keyboards so adds a bit of meat to the bone. Thanks again
