JoLa and Friends: UNDUN (The Guess Who) Cover

[JoLa]

Hi Active Melody friends!

It’s a rarity for me to post anything here but once in a while I may sneak something in … 😉

The Undun project took us way longer than intended as there were many hurdles along the way. The first recording sessions started in November/December 2024 , and then somewhere along the way, we lost all the recordings and had to start from scratch 😫 At one point I even thought it would live up to its name and just stay forever “undone”…..

Anyhoo, for me, it was fun working out Randy Bachman’s jazzy rhythm and putting all this together with my music buddy Ray and other musicians. Hope you enjoy it, too!

Wow that guy has a killer voice and that’s quite the studio. Of course your guitar work was perfect Jola. Very impressive.

Go slow and practice correct technique, and your abilities will dramatically improve.

Wow JoLa! Pro level all the way. And … what a setup! Top production (together with tight, rhythmic guitar playing from yourself) from start to finish. Loved the pics and videos too. Time to hit the touring circuit. All the best! 😎🎸😎

Oh wow, Jola, I like your friends. What a beautiful set up, even with a recording track sheet. Who knew?
Amazing rhythm guitar, you looked so rad hitting those harmonics without skipping a fraction of a beat.
Wonderful group effort, please pass on our praise to your band members.

Amazing work, Jola & Friends! It’s not a surprise that such a professional work took a long time, guessing that you all have a regular day time job! Your guitar parts are flawless, with a perfect timing and tight rhythm and the others guy job was amazing, included the brilliant vocals: that guy can really sing. Great job also for the video production. I knew The Guess Who only because of American Woman, but this is another great song: thanks for sharing, Jola!

This is awesome, JoLa! Terrific on so many levels. Tight, jazzy and clean. Vocals are superb. Accompaniment is spot-on. Solo is magical. Mixing is great. Everything is pro-level. Kudos to all of you.

[James B]

You and your band mates made a great recording and video. Love your rhythm with harmonics and the vocalist too. The producer must be a professional, he’s got the gear and the ear. Congrats, JoLa.

Huge congratulations to you JoLa, that’s a tight combo you’re playing with and your part was pro level, loved the quick dip to the harmonics.

Wow, we have a genuine session player here at AM! Congrats Jola on a great sounding piece and some excellent playing. So much fun listening to this and watching you play.

[JoLa]

Aww, thank you, my friends, for such nice comments! ❤️❤️❤️

Congratulations. You never cease to amaze me. You really stepped up (no surprise) and crushed the Randy Bachman rhythm guitar part. I’m trying to think of something that hasn’t already been said but….. you all are so tight and professional sounding. Looks like tons of fun. I hope there is more to come. Thanks for sharing.

I am a huge Bachman Turner Overdrive/Guess Who fan!

Be well,
John

Well, where to begin with this Jola. It is a fantastic performance and i can understand how work like this can take a long time especially when there are so many moving parts.

All the musicians were great and your rhythm accompaniment was excellent 👌. You have gone a long way with the guitar since I started on this forum.
