This months topic is "Relationships" and comes from Texaspackerfan.

This is a nice wide category that encompasses a huge range of songs. 

To anyone who is new to the recording challenge, you do not have to submit a stage ready polished piece. If you have never recorded (or video recorded) yourself then give it a go.

Even if you never share it with us (which would be a shame) you will be surprised at how much it helps you to progress. Before I started doing this I had never played a whole song, let alone practice one piece so much. This site is well administrated and this makes it a safe place to share your progress, you can be assured of a warm and encouraging reception.

1) Wim VD1 playing "Gypsy Waltz"

2) Texaspackerfan playing "Amie"

3) Nutty1 playing "Baddest Blues"

Gypsy Waltz is an old fiddle tune that has been reworked for guitar.

Dancing a waltz together is great for a relationship, so I guess this tune fits to the topic of this month 🙂

Thank you @Nutty 1

I was using this song to practice my triads on the electric guitar and it turn out that was the easiest part of it all. The lead solo took some effort and getting the beat down was the most challenging for me. It had an awkward rhythm. but I appreciate your kind words, Mandy.

@Texaspackerfan Really well played Danny! Clear chords, good timing, rythym very good.  One small suggestion (and not from an expert by any means).. if you plan to remix the track at all, maybe you could lower the level of the rythym track or raise the level of the lead track... it deserves to be hear more. Good job.

@Wim VD1 @NeilES335

Thank you. Wim,  I've been working on trying to stay in chord shapes with my lead playing. Its made a world of difference.

Neil, your right i do need to turn it up in the mix. I worked on that solo for a week and when i went to record it every take i did i never played it exactly the same way twice.

@Texaspackerfan Oh I "hear" you Danny... when I recorded my first real effort (was that almost a year ago already?) Moon River, I must have done at least 20 takes and when I go it "right" I didnt want to mess with it. Funny thing is, I havent played it since!

I loved this song from the first time that I heard it. The Joe Bonamassa fans amongst you will probably have heard this because Beth and Joe have done some superb concerts together.  "Baddest Blues" by Beth Hart.
