Hello Everyone, The theme for the Recording Challenge for August 2020 is 🎩"Jazz" 👠and comes from Skip Russel This is what Skip said "For this months guitar recording challenge, I suggest recording a Jazz Standard. There are thousands of standards to choose from. Pick up a Real Book or Fake Book, or look in the Learn & Master Guitar course chapter on Jazz. In addition, this month Steve is launching the Jazz Standard Academy, it would be great for all of us enrolled to submit a recording of a standard we are working on." Here is a list of Jazz Standards from Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_jazz_standards however I am not strict so you can post anything which loosely fits the category or mentions Jazz. 1. Fretless playing "Spirit Song" 2. Skip Russel playing "All of Me" 3. Wim VD1 playing “Autumn Leaves“ 4. RockinRickard playing a jazz turnaround from “I guess I’ll have to change my plan” https://drive.google.com/file/d/19VYW1FM6IRV6DgEGyiaP9EPHC3JbEQIQ/view

Unless the guitar has a "photo flame" top, you're dealing with a living product (aka a tree) You will find wood does not grown exact perfect That little swirl in the top would not bother me. Fix/replace your tuner, get them working, don't look back It's a guitar, they're meant to be played and chances are dinged, nicked and scratched.

Beautifully done @Wim VD1 it really does sound like you have a bass player in there. Top job!😎👏👏👏

@Wim VD1 Great playing Wim, love the walking base line.

Thanks, Greg. Of all the courses I have done so far, I like the LMG Fingerstyle course the most. Wim.

Perfect timing. I am right now in session 7 "Jazz" of the fingerstyle course, so that fits perfectly with the challenge of the month 😀. This is a walking bass style arrangement of the jazz standard Autumn Leaves. Wim.

This is a really great deal! Greg

Acoustic amps are superior for acoustic guitar. DI boxes do help. I have the Fishman Loudbox Mini below. I bought this artist package and it is a great value. The Sennheiser mic goes for around $100 by itself. The sound is rich and you can hook up a mic also. Fishman Loudbox Artist Package The Roland AC amps are also very good as stated by @John Wells.
