Here's a song I wrote last year and finally decided to get it recorded. This is a first for me in that I'm using my new instrument (keys)! Anyhow, I just recorded the vocal and guitar his morning before work. I may re-do a couple of things this weekend (for instance, vocal may be a tad loud?), but I thought I'd post here for feedback purposes. Any and all comments welcomed! Thanks. Alright In the dark I feel the weight of night With heightened senses of the things to come In the dark is where shadows hide To be revealed when the night is done Chorus: It's always darkest just before the light But in the morning it'll be alright Alright In the dark I see unfamiliar memories In the shape of things that used to be In the dark I search for distant melodies Between the muffled voices and the humming of machine Chorus Now in this place that I've always been I see stars above I've never seen The light they give may light my way But they don't give the clarity of day In the dark I feel weary As I prepare my bed to lay upon In the dark I close my eyes And start dream about the new day’s dawn Chorus

I appreciate the kind words from everyone regarding my cover of “Homeward Bound”. @Randy120, what a beautiful rendition. You really nailed it. Best of luck on your physical therapy.

Ok. Maybe it borderline speeds that make it worse. As it is lifting the thumb messes me up without the brace it provides. But as it is. I will continue to use the glove finger I’ve cut out. Everything is just so much easier. Easoecially if I start getting sweaty. And maybe it will help relax. Who knows. But thanks for your time.

I was wondering if anybody had any cool EQ settings they could share with me, I don't have too many setting options on my amp, with gain,treble,bass,and volume.But I would still love to hear your setting for jazz,rock,and blues.

Hi RubberSoul! I have had to experiment with this a lot, and from what I have found every combination of guitar and amp is different. The best thing might just be to try everything! Not that I am an expert or anything, but I usually start with everything on the amp at 5 or whatever the middle is, and the volume and tone on the guitar at 7 or 8. From there you can play with all the knobs individually to get what you want. Often with humbuckers I end up dropping the mids to make the clean tones sound nicer, or you may find that you like a more mids-forward sound and boost them. I think single coil pickups can sound harsh at times, especially with distortion on, so experimenting with the treble or the tone knob on the guitar (which takes out some of the treble) can help. You might even find that rolling the volume on the guitar down not only reduces the volume but also takes some of the highs out. The volume often has a tone-effect with it too. I like to keep the volume at 7 or 8 so I can roll it up to get a little more distortion whenever I like - that's kind of fun. There are also EQ pedals out there too, as well as pedals that doctor your signal in other ways. Infinite possibilities!
