[Strumming with a thumbpick]

http://shop.bluechip...ies/Thumb-Pick/

 

Missed this thread before

 

Nifty tunes there PM...are you attempting up strokes when strumming with the thumb pick

 

I also am bringing strumming into my technique ... but find upstrokes not working too well..am starting to hybryd using finger for up strokes and tb for down..sounds poretty good

 

those Blue Chip picks could be good..but $40 feck that !

[finish checking]

Don't some people actually look for checking on a vintage guitar.. to make sure its pukka

 

I actually like some of the examples I've seen with it... nitro should check over many years..? unless its kept under the bed..or in a glass case

Sounds a bit funky on this one, had to compress it down a lot as it was loud and there was some clipping.

 

You guys are good PM.. nice upbeat stuff..I bet you are fun to see live... what shoes ya got on in these vids then ?

Ooops. Sorry. Made it more complicated than it needed to be.

 

The "notes" in a MIDI file are not really music; they are just triggers. You can make them trigger any sound you connect it to using a software synthesizer. When you play a MIDI file on the web, it is just your computer giving the "triggers" a voice... usually a really awful computerized sounding voice. If you have the right voices (called samples) you can have the MIDI notes trigger samples that were recorded from real instruments. That's what I've done with the non-guitar tracks in my cover song.

 

Your cover of Fire n Rain is excellent Drathbun..very pro sounding

 

I use pro tools and drum tracks downloaded from web. What midi files are you using for your drums? Do you make them yourself?

 

also you play keyboard i take it?.. very nice
