"How I Got To Memphis" Steel Instrumental.

Post by Jesse Cunningham »

I just finished up my instrumental take of the Tom T Hall classic "How I Got To Memphis".


Thanks for checking it out! These have been fun to do.

I enjoyed that tune on steel...great job.

That looks like a ton of work to play and record all the band parts.
What Is the software you use to edit the video ?
I would love to attempt something like that.

Merry Christmas to you

Nice one Jesse. I've always loved this song, especially Tom T Halls vocal performance.

Thanks! It is a bit of work. I do it in iMovie. I record in to GarageBand and video while I'm recording the part, then I sync the videos up to the mixed down GarageBand track. It's a little tricky (it's not hard, just kind of time consuming) to make the panels but there are tutorials on YouTube on how to do it.

I have trouble with one instrument...and you play 5 proficiently? What a downer.

The Open Road is a nice touch!

Good job. I know the work that goes into these. Looks like you got the technique figured out. I hope you'll share more.
