Nutty 1

That would be great!

Thank you for doing this Danny @Texaspackerfan it sounds great to me. All mixes are only a guide for the band members until the final mixing and mastering, here is a link to Danny's mix for a sneak preview GG4 bass rhythm drums Ready for you @gotto when you are free.

Hello All, This months topic comes from Wim VD1 "Play us something acoustic" Everyone is welcome to join in. 1) IanD playing and singing his new Original "Picture On My Phone" 2) Mark_h playing "Perfect" 3) Wim VD1 playing a shuffle in E on the porch 4) Nutty 1 playing "Dark Lady"

Thanks Danny.

I have smoothed the edges of frets with a small metal file, if you do it carefully and gently you will not affect the finish on the fretboard and neck. You do not have to press hard or do much. I have a Yamaha THR5a modelling amp for my practice (and playing!), it has some nice built in effects. I have never needed to put it up to full volume or anything approaching that, not even for the distorted simulations. They also do bigger THR amps with even more effects. May be worth a look at.🤓

I always knew algebra was a good thing to learn!

Hello Greg, it looks like we have all of the instrument tracks that we need to proceed now. Over to @Texaspackerfan. Danny can you give us an idea of when you will be able to produce a mix for Greg to use to do the vocals please?

That sounds great! Thank you Jusca.

Wow @Texaspackerfan that is impressive! Well played and sang. I agree with Ian, you have an excellent voice and it would do well if it was louder in your mix.

@Texaspackerfan Danny I have put 2 rhythm guitar tracks in the GG4 folder on Box.com. In my DAW I panned one a bit to the left and the other a bit to the right. It is up to you if you use them both or not, I would be interested in hearing what you think.

Excellent @WATSON43, beautifully played and sang. I love that song, they used it in the movie "Dirty Dancing".

It is great to see you posting again @Mustafa and to hear the good news that you are playing your guitar and having some fun. Never give up hope my friend.

Hello All, Here is a new guitar track for GG4 GG4 New Drums I hope it is ok

My sincere apologies to you all. I am sorry I really have made a hash up! Thank you to @Texaspackerfan for noticing it. 1) The drum track is too difficult. I used the GarageBand (or was it Logic) drummers and combined sections from 2 different drummers and this may have made the rhythm really tricky. It is not a good track for our Collaboration. 2) I had meant to add the count in on the rhythm track but it looks like my inexperience with driving Logic Pro X (I am attempting to transition from GarageBand) and not checking the track before uploading it has lead to the count in being omitted. I am very sorry for both above and I will put them right. I will do another drum track with a count in (using only 1 drummer) and contact @guitarben and apologise to him. Best wishes Mandy

Hello Danny @Texaspackerfan did you manage to do the drums and guitar mix. I think it would be good for @Jusca to have it for her bass track as your choice of amp simulation may influence her bass line. Greg @gotto you should be able to the the Guitargathering folder in your box account as you are still there as an editor. Jusca I have sent an invite to the box guitargathering folder using an old email address I have for you.

Thank you Ian, you are very kind.

Thank you @Wim VD1. The sinking mic did add a certain novelty factor. I think you can see when I started to realise what was happening!😁

Thank you Mark. I love that song. I have just bought The Moody Blues 3 cd box set. I am re-discovering them!😎

Thank you @gotto that would be great! I will put you down for both. Thank you for your description of your artistic approach. I have always thought that the vocalist should at least be a co-writer. Not all writers want to do the vocals.

Here is my entry "Nights in White Satin" by Justin Haywood, performed by The Moody Blues. It is a tale of posh bed sheets, wasted stationary and a love that is lost causing pain which no one understands. You know like when you get that sinking feeling .......I had a bit of a microphone problem during this song. Looks like I can not have the boom arm out too much on my mic stand.🤣🤓😂

Hello Scott @Mouseslave, Steve has done a Fingerstyle course under the Learn & Master label. That has loads of exercises in it, it is a very comprehensive skill building course.

Lovely @Wim VD1, beautifully played. I enjoyed that.

Thank you Randy, very interesting video.

Congratulations Mike, great choices. Enjoy!😎🎶🎸🎛

@Jusca do you want an intermediate mix of the drums and rhythm guitar for your bass part?
