Duende Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Sadly the Gibson forum get together had to postponed recently. Illness' and several people being unable to make the time, meant that we thought it best to do it in style, rather than do so half heartedly... Anyway Simon (Flight 959) came over to my place and we had a great afternoon talking guitars and jamming. I am sure Simon wont mind me writing this; but he lacks a lot of confidence in his playing which I think you will agree that he shouldn't do. Simon has been playing properly only five years and has never played live and balances practising around working for the police and also busy family life; so not a lot of time either! This is him, just 'off the cuff' and I think listening back, he was surprised himself how good it sounded! Lets show this guy some support! I think there is an excellent guitarist in him that with a bit more confidence and practice can come out fully! Cheers to you Simon; a great guy and I think the music is in him[cool] Enjoy!

daveinspain Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Cool jam, sounds like you guys were having a great time too... Who caughs at the end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Good on you guys. I know Flight's been busy as we've been meaning to have a beer or two lately and haven't managed! I've never yet managed to jam with you, Matt; perhaps if you all have a day off you could come 'round my way and we could make it a menage a trois!? Keep up the good work!

I'll be in France visiting the in-laws over the yuletide (Note to everyone reading this; I'm putting the guitars in a secret place so don't even think about becoming a burglar for the season). At least it gives me a few more weeks in which to practice before we all finally meet again! Pip Pip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSG_Standard Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Thanks Matt' date=' I dont even think I can bring myself to listen to it... Regards[/quote'] Sounds good Flight! I prefer listening to others than myself too. Have you ever tried recording yourself playing rhythm and then doing your leads over your own backing tracks? I used to do it when I had the recording gear and I found it very helpful and fun. Keep it up, you rock brother! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Izzy Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Wow, that sounded like old pros jamming. Very nice. Thank you for sharing. KSG, I always felt I needed a looping pedal to jam along with myself. Was your recording gear cheaper ($, not quality) than a looping pedal?

KSG_Standard Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 It wasn't cheaper, and it was useful for other stuff as well. I've never tried a looping pedal. How much memory do they have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Sounds great to me, especially the licks around 2:00. I wish there was a way we could setup a guitar "GoToMeeting" jam over the internet. That would be cool. Hmm, maybe I should start an internet jamming company???

Flight959 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Thanks Guys/Gals To be honest we did a jam at the start of the day which I think went much better... I wish we had recorded that one.. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I waved him off and thought "hmm let me try that!" LOL Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
