Does anyone want any?

This is a little clip of less than a minute.

If anyone has any requests (other than shut the **** up) I'll do what I can.

I have to ask, are you multi-tracking this? It sounds a little like you are playing the chords and melody on separate sessions.

Sounds great though!!! What "genre" of guitar are you using? Being primarily a bassist I find it a bit fiddly to use anything except a classical guitar for "proper" playing... but I have a Les Paul that I like to strum (Epiphone, not a proper Gibson).

I've spent the afternoon learning some Status Quo songs for next Saturday's "Status Quo are cancelled but we're bl**dy well going to hear some live Status Quo songs Goddamit" recital.

Needless to say I'm picking them up rather quickly

Keep up the good work, and if you can record "Another Rock'n'Roll Christmas" then it means I can sing along to one of my favourite Chrimbo songs without being accused of listening to kiddy-fiddling music.

 

[joe-90]

Yes. It's not a secret. I'm not pretending to be a one man band.

I put the chord track down and then played along to it.

I used Adobe Audition.

The guitar is actually my cheapest (less than £200). It's a Gibson L5 copy but I put a pair of Bill Lawrence pups in it and set it up correctly.

It needs new strings but I'm too lazy. Glad you like it.

New strings... I love having new strings. Fortunately bass strings seem to keep tune quicker than guitar strings and last longer. But they cost 4 times as much for a set.

I asked, because I was listening thinking "what hand position is he using for this?!"

Good to see someone else isn't afraid to set things up by themself. I spent ages getting the action just right on my bass. Never considered doing it until I played a friend's identical instrument and found it to be 100 times nicer than mine!

Here's mine then:

I disclaim that this is the first take from no practise, is not produced, was recorded via a webcam, and I had to dig splinters out of my 3rd finger on my left hand with a needle today. Oh yeah and on a really rubbish guitar (the low E is particulary heavy), not my proper classical one.

Perhaps this is why we liked Joe's stuff ..He let his fingers do the talking !!

This is another little clip I've been playing around with. It uses layered guitar solos (twin lead).

Does anyone like it?

Yes, I recorded them just now. The walking bass is my own addition to the score. It's supposed to be G G G G, but I changed it to G F#dim, G, G#dim. Leads nicely into the Am, I think. Sometimes I get bored of comping and add new chords in. "Hey, I spend my whole life looking for great new chords" (as jazz muso might say - ahem). I played in a big-band for 2 years. Phew them different unusual chord shapes on every beat.
