    Here is my contribution to this months challenge. It is a new original that I wrote this month and have been practicing to play and sing at the same time. It is called "I think its time"

    I think its time

     

    Well done @Nutty 1

    Ive got hundreds of songs I wrote but haven't taken the time to perform them yet!  You are going to be my inspiration to start doing more of my originals.

    Thank you @Eracer_Team-DougH@NeilES335

    Neil, for my recordings I have a 14 channel mixer. It is made by soundcraft and is able to record directly to my software. The software or DAW I use is Studio one 3.5 artist. As far as recording all the parts, I mic up real drums most of the times, however on some cases i use a drum pad if the drum parts are not that complicated. The pad is just too slow for me.

    How i record the drums, I make a recording of the original song in my DAW and play along with the song.  Then i record the bass and that is plugged in to my amp and i use the direct outs on the line 6 amp. then it goes to my mixer which i can EQ it before it is sent to the DAW which that then is also EQ. I don't add any plugins for the bass parts. I try to keep it simple. 

    Acoustic guitar, I mic up and use the direct outs on the amp and mix them later. I add Reverb,eq,compression,etc...

    Electric guitar, I used 71 fender tele, its got a great sound for the old school country songs. the amp is a Line 6 and i use the built in affects.  That is mic'd in front of the speaker and i also use the direct outs and mix the two later. I don't use plugins that much. I try to keep the sound pretty raw. I'll add different eq's and compression that came with my DAW. 

    That's it basically, hope it helps.

    Danny, I don't know how I missed this original post at the 1st of the month.  Congratulations on one very remarkable accomplishment.  You are among a very few that can say they have done this.  And thank you for all your very positive contributions to this forum while you completed L&MG.

    @matonanjin

    Thank you. I was going to start the blues course but instead i'm trying to learn chicken picking, pedal steel licks, etc. However i play a lot of blues, find fairly easy to pick up and the other is pretty challenging. what can i say, im a sucker for a challenge. lol

    Hi Danny,

    that is an absolutely interesting sound you are creating here. It makes me think of pedal steel guitar.

    Beautiful and original rendition. I have listened to it several times. Thanks for sharing.

    Wim.

     

    Thank you @Wim VD1

    I've been trying to get my sound to mimic a pedal steel. slow process but its coming alone. Its used a lot in country music.

    Thanks for creating this thread and for your nice words, Neil.

    Recording has become a fixed element in my learning routine. It also pushes me to work harder on the quality of my playing. Learning of a song is only complete when the recording sounds good enough to my ears.

    And most important: it's a lot of fun. I can only recommend it.

    Wim.

    Very nice Wim! i enjoyed listening.

    Hey Danny, congratulations on this great achievement!

    I agree with you that this LMG course is excellent and that completing it  gives even more appetite for taking the next step on the guitar learning journey. 

    Your recording is beautiful and sounds professional. Great production as well.

    Well, I made through all 20 lessons  Learn and Master Guitar!

    I want to thank you, @Steve Krenz for putting together such a wonderful, well thought out, and educational course. Your guitar course is hands down the best guitar learning course out there!!! 

    I started Steve's guitar course many years ago and never expected to get this much out of one course. It has been an amazing adventure.  

    I began playing the drums in high school, well Jr High first then decided I would like to learn the guitar as well. I started learning guitar, (i guess i was in my twenties) had a teacher for a year or so, i might add he taught me the bass along side the guitar and then life its you. stop playing for a while, well off and on but never really got anywhere with it. Sure, i could play songs and new a lot of chords with the help of Mel Bay books, ha! But it wasn't going anywhere. It wasn't enough. So many years later, now in my forties i came across Steve's guitar course. I told myself, i'm going to stick to it this time and wow!!!! What an adventure it has been. Now after completing the course I see now this is just one step in many more to come. So much more to learn. I can't get enough.

    I've since moved on to learning chicken picking, slide, and trying to emulate the pedal steel and fiddle sounds on the guitar.

    Also, I would like to thank all of the people on this site. This is truly a great family. Thank you guys and gals!

    I made a recording for session 20. I found a song I could Incorporate the B &E drone sounds. The song is called "Don't Ya", by Brett Eldredge.  I left out some of the vocals so you could possible hear the B and E drone sounds.

    Again, Thank you all! Remember, Never give up and never stop learning!
