An interesting recording technique

Attaching a microphone to a ceiling fan. This is a rather unusual recording method to achieve a phase effect on a recording.

'Take On Me' Guitar

Tab:

Bm        E    A                 D      A/C#
Talking away,  I don’t know what I’m to say
Bm               E   A              D      A/C#
I’ll say it anyway,Today’s another day to find you
Bm      E    F#m                      D    
Shine away, I’ll be coming for your love OK

Chorus:
A   E/G#  F#m  D 
Take on me  (take on me)
A   E/G#  F#m  D
Take me on  (take on me)
A   E/G#  F#m  D
I’ll be gone 
           A  E/G# F#m D
in a day or two

    Bm            E    A               D      A/C#
So, needless to say at odds and ends, but I feel
    Bm      E    A               D      A/C# 
stumbling awake slowly learning that life is OK,
 Bm       E   F#m                           D      
Say after me, it’s so much better to be safe than sorry

Chorus:
A   E/G#  F#m  D
Take on me  (take on me)
A   E/G#  F#m  D
Take me on  (take on me)
A  E/G#  F#m  D
I’ll be gone 
           A  E/G#  F#m  D
in a day or two

'Take On Me' Vocals

I will record the vocals with a Sure SM58 dynamic microphone.

Lyrics:

We're talking away
I don't know what I'm to say-
I'll say it anyway
Today's another day to find you 
Shying away 
I'll be coming for your love, OK?

Take on me
Take me on 
I'll be gone In a day or two

So needless to say 
I'm odds and ends but that's me-
stumbling away 
Slowly learning that life is OK. 
Say after me 
It's no better to be safe than sorry

Take on me
Take me on 
I'll be gone In a day or two

*Instrumental*

Oh the things that you say 
Is it life or Just a play my-
worries away 
You're all the things I've got to remember 
You're shying away 
I'll be coming for you anyway

Take on me
Take me on 
I'll be gone In a day or two



Foldback:

I will play the track that I have recorded so far.
