JamGuy Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Here are a couple of videos I made this morning on the freshly finished Les Paul project I've been working on. Naturally, not with out a few goof-ups but that's the way it goes. Enjoy... any feedback welcome and again, thanks to those of you on the forum who helped me get this project together. Cheers, JG. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMsLhdNmENc&feature=player_detailpage http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgBNw5FSzGg&feature=player_detailpage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitmore Willy Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 JG, Liked the vids, enjoyed the music. The first one reminds me of Peter Green in the early Mac days. (Very smooth and airy) Anyway....very cool. BTW, How did you go about cuttin' the vids.? I've been thinking about doing some but have no experience at it.

Walterego Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Hey great videos. Let me know the technology and software you use to do that. I would like to keep a historical record of my playing improvements (or not!) over time. Walter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midiman56 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Lovely stuff, JG ... really fine work! That first one spoke to me especially. Are those your backing tracks as well? Vids like these are just more proof that the Les Paul is as close to the "perfect guitar" as anyone has ever gotten. Thanks for sharing!

JamGuy Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 Thanks folks, much appreciated! I'm really enjoying the new Les Paul... it's a fantastic guitar and has a real depth to it that many of my Fenders lack (not that I don't love them) I'm also bouncing between guitars so the flatter radius is something I'm getting used to, as is the weight although I have a tele that's just as heavy. It's always been a bit awkward playing up in the higher registers but I'm sure I'll get used to all of it. I'm thinking very seriously now of wiring up my Epi G400 with the same pickups and wiring scheme as I think it sounds just fantastic. I thought the SG sounded fine until I finished the Les Paul....so it goes huh? So... not too much in the way of technology at work (which works for me ) The underlying loops are mine that I played first on a Boss RC-20 loop station... I simply start recording on my digital camera (Nikon Coolpix S8000) and then jam over the loop track. Nothing fancy and no further sound or video editing. I have an older mini mac computer, plug the camera in, the videos download via image capture to my desktop, then I upload them to YouTube. The camera is elevated off the ground at about 7ft using a little gorilla pod and is about 10 ft away from my guitar rig. I know these aren't the cheapest little point and shoot cameras on the market but the quality of the photos and videos is really nice IMO... here's an iguana from my recent trip to Puerto Rico.

Walterego Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Hi JG, Thanks for the info regarding your audio and camera setup. Sounds simple enough. Thanks again for the UTube. Opens a world of opportunities for me to research. Walterego Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
