Here is my offering. I fancied having a go at 12 Bar Blues. It is daft and not all that good but I had heaps of fun doing it and I learnt a lot.? As Country Lou Watson once said "The Blues Is a Good Woman Feeling Bad" Well, this is a bad singer and guitar player feeling good, thanks to this new forum!

By the way, the warning notice you will see is only a photograph of a message I was getting, it is not a warning about soundcloud or the link above.

You just made my day!

Okay in all the years I've been here (Aug 2011) I don't think I've ever done this challenge. So this is NEW for me. I used an Older guitar and I haven't really been playing too much guitar due to arthritis so playing guitar feels new to me. Also I decided to do something a  little different and I only used the open D chord for the backing picking part and then only the 5th and 7th fret for the "lead" if you will. I plugged my older Godin 2013 into Logic Pro X and hit record.I used the Godin nylon for 3 tracks!  I also used for one track a "new" Baritone Ukulele. 

I call it Repentance on a D chord because today's Mass was in honor of my mom Angelica who will be gone 3 years on Valentine's Day and my dad had a mass today (and for the next year or so every month) and the homily was about repentance and of course it's all on the D chord...

Thanks for the challenge and thanks for listening~~

That was absolutely beautiful Maria.

Thank you for the description of how you did it, it is very helpful information. You have made a lovely flowing blend of the instruments.

thanks again

Maria that was just lovely! Reminds me of many of your previous posts way back when! You know you can re-post older recordings yes? ?

Those of us that have been around awhile always enjoyed your music.

Keep them coming!

awe! You are so nice to say that. I'm so happy to be back amongst such nice people!! 

You are very encouraging. In fact it gave me the comfort to try another one. I just did a cover song I posted in the open talk forum!

Thanks again

I finally got to record me Peavey Classic 30. Here is a couple samples from my Sound Check.

The first is just a simple rock rhythm I came up with last night. Maybe someday it will be a song, but for now it is what it is...

The second track adds the Flashback Delay pedal. I am just improvising for the fun of it!!!

Sorry @Randy120 I just realized that I put your stuff on the first page but didn't leave you a comment on your songs.

The new amp sounds great.  Really nice grooves both of them.  Well done and thanks for posting.

Thank you for listening! The Peavey amp is everything I hoped it would be. All the hours practicing pentatonic, major scales, and 3 notes on a string are finally helping me learn all the notes on the neck. I can even make sense of the notes from time to time. Still having fun!
