@Wim VD A bold choice. Well done!

Thanks, Randy. There was some tricky new stuff in this like learning the thumb over neck technique. 

Wim.

@Texaspackerfan,

Thanks, Danny. I wanted to record some songs with solo's before ending Session 19 and moving on to the final Session 20. I am working on Fleetwood Mac's Albatross now. Do you have plans to finalize Session 19 soon?

Wim.

@Wim VD 

I will forever be working on solos. lol! but on a serious note, I'm going to keep working on 19 through the summer along side other supplemental material then move on to 20 this fall.  Ive adding chicken picking and slide guitar so that has slowed me down.

Thank you so much @mark_h

This recording thing is an art all of its own.  Your recordings sound excellent, any advice would be much appreciated. 

It certainly is but you seem to have a a good handle on it. I use a Zoom H4n digital recorder for video or just the zoom’s mics to record I to GarageBand. If I use GB I double the guitar tracks and pan them hard left and right. Not very high tech I’m afraid. ?

Although the lyrics are rather about being unhappy, I have chosen this Jimmy Hendrix song for the monthly recording challenge because I like his playing style so much. Learning to play this kind of mixed rythm and lead guitar with chord  embellishments is very rewarding. 

Wim.

 

Hey Wim! Great track. Your tone is awesome. Well done.

Mark

Well, this is about as raw as it gets. ? Dean Martin was always signing this song in my house when I was a kid. It still makes me smile. My sister had me play it at her wedding last year, so it’s a definite a “feel good” song to me. It was a bit cramped in the car, but I was on my way to a wedding and thought I’d give it a whirl before packing the guitar.

Vita bella, @mark_h.

Thanks for sharing this beautiful feel good song. It would also fit well in last month's theme "To the movies" ?

Wim.
