    Well, seeing as this is "What are you working on month"  and no-one minds something a little rough around the edges, here's my humble submission (my first on this forum I believe).

    This short jazz fingerstyle tune is something I wrote a while back (still a work in progress... Ive since lengthened it ); played unplugged on my Godin archtop. (1 take recorded on my cellphone so I apologize for the low quality) 

    Thanks for listening.

    Excellent job Neil, Keep'em coming. I really enjoyed that!

    @Texaspackerfan This is really good! You really are a good old boy in the best possible way.

    @Wim VD1 Finger pickin' good mash up.

    @IanD Nice start Ian. I would add some compression to bring up the soft parts. 

    Thank you Randy

    Thank you for ya'lls kind words. I think the mixing is harder than the actual playing,lol!

    @Texaspackerfan that sounds really smooth and professional. Is that you singing?

    If you need any help with recording, then post specific questions on things you'd like advice on and I'm sure you'll get loads of suggestions.

    I was singing backup vocals. The one singing was my old band member, he has since  moved away.

    BATTLE OF THE AMPS!?

    in Guitar Open Talk

    Posted

    Thank you all for your comments.  I think I have them convinced that we are struggling not only to hear our playing but everyone else.  My drummer is on board and promised to tone it down as well(wait, a drummer said he would tone it down?!! lol). I think doing an unplugged gig the other day help.  We could hear and no one got lost, and we sounded good.

    BATTLE OF THE AMPS!?

    in Guitar Open Talk

    Posted

    Hello everyone. 

    This is for all you guys and gals playing in band.  I've called this post the battle of the amps because of the last gig we played yesterday for a benefit memorial celebration with the proceeds going to a scholarship program for victims of drunk driving. 

    Anyway, this has been a ongoing thing for awhile, the other two guitarist/singers fight to hear themselves so they keep turning the amp up tell the thing starts to distort. Which in turn my lead gets totally drowned out (with my volume pedal at full) by about the last half of our songs, so which i have to compensate myself. But of course my amp at a quarter volume would blow the roof apart and totally drown them out, but i choose not to fight this battle because you can see in the look on peoples faces their ears are about to explode from the other two playing rhythm sound loud. i have politely ask them to set the volume and leave it alone but to my avail it never happens. So yesterday to prove a point i refused to turn up my amp so i could take a lead and was given evil looks because they couldn't hear me. Wait, Let me back up a little. I tried to stop this by talking them into letting me run everyone through my PA system which solved it for the house the week before but they were not satisfied, even though i turned their monitors up so they were the one "shinning".  They insisted that the room was to small to need one for this gig yesterday. so, here we go again battle of the amps....argh!!  I just sat there and smiled. i know this wrong but i just refused to play that game. Everyone started listen to us inside and when the battle of the amps began they slowly moved outside one by one. The drummer asked what happened and i just blurted out "They were too loud".  I'm sure I'll catch heat for this one but i was right. should have been more subtle but i just couldn't hold it in.

    Has anyone dealt with this before and how did they handle it?

    Wow! Fantastic job Danny.  Sounds like a professional mix. I don't know why you don't like your voice (I'm referring to the comments you made in your June 21 post). I think the vocals were excellent.

    Thank you for your kind words @matonanjin @WATSON43

    Watson43, i would love to take credit for the vocals but that was my buddy Joe. He is the singer of our band.

    Great playing and singing, Danny. Nice fills as well. So this is how summer sounds like in Texas.

    What equipment and SW did you use for recording?

    Wim. 

    Thank you, @Wim VD, and @Nutty1 @UncleHammy

    I used a line 6 for my guitar amp. I can play with the settings and try to get my Gibson to sound like a fender.  It also has an octave setting so i can use my guitar as a bass. For the drums i just used a pad this time, i didn't feel like setting up the drum set for such a simple beat. My software i use is Studio one 3. As far as summer here in South Texas, it's hot. "It's hotter than a snakes a** in a wagon rut!" lol good thing i live on the banks of a nice cold clear running river.

    Thanks, @UncleHammy, @DianeB, @Nutty1,  @Texaspackerfan, @Randy120, @IanD and @Oldjock.

    If you ever look for a song to practice string bending, then this is the one.  ?

     

    Wim.

    excellent @Wim VD !! absolutely amazing!  nothing but perfection. 

    i think we need to start a recording thread on it own? maybe we can get @Fretless to help? just recording issue kind of things.
