ParlourMan Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Another wee bit of fun from last night. Cheesy overdose :D Original source was quite clipped so it's compressed quite badly to get a manageable volume level. Just the chords really as it was the first attempt and last song of the night. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NR8M4p8YS00& Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drathbun Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I thought this might be an appropriate song now since the leaves are all turning brown. I put down some tracks for "California Dreaming" and asked my daughter to sing the lead while she was home from University for Thanksgiving (Canada). She is in her third year studying Opera singing. I'm rather impressed in her progress from just a couple years ago. California Dreaming Taylor 12 string Gibson Songwriter Squire Vintage Modified Bass All other parts MIDI samples.

MorrisrownSal Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 OK. I tried a John Mayer cover. What was I thinking? I don't know. I played my Gibby and sang on one track, and recorded two separate harmony tracks. Did it on Garageband: http://soundcloud.com/sal-from-chath...hiskey-whiskey Hope you like it and feel free to critique. Sal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Git4Life Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 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 ! Greetings from Paris Olivier http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVhbD688FbI Olivier, that was beautiful...! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorrisrownSal Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 My take on Lyle Lovett's Natural Forces. I recorded this using Garage Band, with a little reverb for the first time. I am playing my Gibson J45TV, which is just a natural choice for such an "Americana" song. http://soundcloud.com/sal-from-chatham/natural-forces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duluthdan Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Bravo ! I need to start listening to more LL - this is good song - loved listening, thanks ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorrisrownSal Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Thanks Dan. I used to play a lot when I was young. Just started back up recently, and I am learning how to record simple stuff. The key for me is finding songs that match my cowboy chord repertoire and keeping it simple! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Thanks Dan. I used to play a lot when I was young. Just started back up recently, and I am learning how to record simple stuff. The key for me is finding songs that match my cowboy chord repertoire and keeping it simple! Like riding a bike. Good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duluthdan Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Some good pickin' in there ! I'm not much of a sound engineer / recording guy, but is there room to back down the gain a bit? Clipping and distortion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duluthdan Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Song written by a very talented friend of mine. Wouldn't you know it, tuned down half a step and its still just a tad out of my range. Still trying to get the sound on my Q3HD camera to settle down - it will take me at least a few more trys to get 'er dialed in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice one Dan.Good slice of life song and a cool performance by yourself.I usually miss stuff posted in this thread, glad i looked for change.I find i'm using the "high" mic setting on the Q3HD now instead of the auto...sometimes i seem to get better results with that.

Mojorule Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 he played that with his feet !!?? Yeah, he taught Jeff Healey everything he knew. A man of many talents, Bill. Apparently his seminal work with two guitars - the first fingerpicked, the second toe-picked - had Dave Van Ronk confused and believing that he could hear four flatpicked instruments playing simultaneously. His talents extended beyond the guitar and songwriting. When he first came to England, his stint working on the Earl of Grantham's shooting range left him with the alias Big Loader Bill Owney. Rumours abound, but it is not sure whether the name came about because of his stature and unusual gift for inspiring poor shots to hit more pheasants, or whether the ladies were impressed with prowess of another sort. I have heard similar questions surrounding his further nickname, Big Beater, which he picked up while working on the Wragby Hall shooting range in Nottinghamshire.
