Really cool files to watch and listen-to. Not only enjoyable, but inspiring...... Below is a link to some of my music. Most was written by me, aside from the old traditionals. I haven't done any of my own videos yet, though there are a few of me on youtube that I often wish were not there...lol.....Great, great thread. Ain't music cool?..... http://www.family-friendly-music.com/my_music_files

Thanks! The King Of Independence Avenue and the song about Irene were two that really got to me in particular. Just lovely...

 

cheers

Here's one, played on my '98 J-45:

The song is an original called "Westfield Blues," written about a guy who ran a meth lab outside of Westfield, Ill., which is a little town just north of my hometown. The guy got popped by the feds and is now doing a stretch in prison. As well he should be.

 

I usually do the song fingerstyle, but I tried strumming it just to see what it'd sound like, so I label this one the "alternative version."

Hi folks, I did that wonderful jazz song, "Strange Fruit", with my SWR deluxe, thru both the fishman and my microphone, hope you'll like it !

I subscribed to his youtube channel and I hope he will add me in his youtube friends list.

Well (gulp), why not? [blush]

 

I take myself out to a weekly open mic at a pub in downtown Asheville.

 

One of my daughters took this vid last Wednesday (both songs are my originals), and the guys playing along are some of the other Weds night regulars. One of these days, we vow to actually practice, but we never fail to have a great time.

My other daughter helps out on the chorus...

Anne, I absolutely loved both those songs. Bravo... You have great style, and I would love to hear a finalized version of those; especially the first one. And who needs practice, I am sure you have a blast.

OK, hope this works! It's my first audio clip (gulp!) I played my True Vintage Southern Jumbo for the rythymn and lead parts, sang lead vocal and harmony. Mixed it at my friend's house who plays guitar with me in the bluegrass band. The lead guitar part in the background is also the SJ/TV but with Hall#1 Reverb added. The pic in the video is my SJ/TV. Hope ya'll like it!

 

 

Just listened to your clip- SUPER JOB!!! Keep it up!

I finally got a day off to try out my new iPhone4's video capability. I did it in one take so please forgive the odd guitar flub and vocal hiccups! [crying]

 

This is one of my favourite songs to play now. I stopped trying to get it "correct" as in how Taylor plays it. Everything Taylor does is so counter intuitive to how I play! So I play it the way I like it. My wife and I were at friends for drinks on Friday night and I brought my guitar. As soon as I started playing this song, my friend's wife sat up and tears filled her eyes! She started singing along with all the lyrics and told me that her Mother had taught her that song when she was four and the memory came flooding back to her. Amazing what music can do isn't it?

 

I saved the video from my iPhone4 to my computer then used Cyberlink's PowerDirector 9.0 to edit the video. I stripped out the audio and ran it through Sonar Producer 8.5 to add a little compression and a touch of reverb/delay.

 

The guitar is my Songwriter.

Here is the second video I did yesterday with my iPhone4. This is a cover of Keith Carradine's 1976 song "I'm Easy" that he wrote for the movie "Nashville".

 

I decided the background showing my microphone stand with all my polish cloths on it was not aesthetically pleasing so I improvised. :rolleyes:

 

Again, the audio is from the iPhone and only enhanced through Sonar. I must say I'm impressed with the video and audio quality considering it is only going to YouTube.

VERY nice. Do you have something I can run my audio through that will give me a pleasing voice, like yours?

 

(nice guitar.... too bad we couldn't see more of it!)

 

Very nice of you to say Rob! Thanks. :)

 

I'm lucky that I had the camera pointed to where I was actually somewhat centered in the frame. The drawback with the iPhone video, is that if you video yourself, you are bascially guessing. I have a tiny tripod and an iPhone tripod grip mount, but there is no way to see what you are capturing until you're done unless you have someone else operate the camera. I'm going to try out putting a mirror behind the tripod. :)

GREAT JOB, Drathbun! I had forgot all about "Wandering" by JT. You did a fantastic job. Great songs and great playing. I love the editing! You're just a "jack-of-all-trades"!

 

Thanks Larry! Jack of all trades, master of none! LOL! The editing is actually really simple with Cyberlink PowerDirector. Just drag and drop basically. Where I got a little bit "slick" is in grabbing the audio part of the video and processing it in my Sonar and then putting it back into the video. But even that was relatively simple. Again thanks for the kind words. I'm going to try to put my basic live set on video now that I've found a good method, although the upload to YouTube does take 1.5 hrs! <_<

Thanks VERY much for the nice comments.

 

I am torn between playing my Blues King and my new J45 Standard at the moment.

 

Both guitars had a setup, but no other changes. Just fabulous to play!!!!

 

Here is a link to my J45 (Standard) video:

Yea, very nice BluesKing777! I can only add one constructive criticism: lose the C.F.Martin t-shirt!!! [scared][lol][lol]
