@Ron Service

I surely enjoyed your playing. It's perfect!

I also love your rendition of Misty that I found on your YouTube channel.

That ES-150 is a stunning guitar with great tone.

Wim.

@Ron Service I just put all my recording equipment and guitars on ebay 

I know you didn't put your stuff away! Thx for the comment though. There's no reason (after COVID) that you and Neil can't do some recording with me. The finished product always sounds better than the live sounds. I've heard your playing with your choir and it's good!

@Ron Service asked about recording software.  If this forum has not previously done so before, it might be helpful to have a new topic on recording hardware, software and best practices.  I did not find much in search, so I guess I will start one.

Ron,

My recording setup is very basic using Garageband on my iPad and a clip on microphone. I do plan to upgrade the microphone to a Shure, because I am not satisfied with the current clip on one.

Hey Mandy,

That's a sad song. Singing and playing at the same time, I envy you for that 🎤🎸. Well done,

Wim.

It is very kind of you to say that. I only do simple stuff, not complicated things like you and the others who post here. 😎

I have been slowly incorporating some very basic fingerstyle into my performances,  my goal is to do more fancy stuff but I am limited by my arthritis and trigger fingers and the fact that I have a terrible memory.🤣🤣🤣

I enjoy your recordings Mandy and admire your progress in recording and performance. I too deal with the scourge of arthritis so I can deeply empathise with the challenges. Playing and vocalizing is especially challenging and often I too use a simpler chord strategy, particularly when I am playing with bandmates-they can cover things with more complex play while I sing. When i am not the singer, I get the chance to expand my chops as well. Keep it up and keep giving us the pleasure of your contributions. 

Greg

Also, in my opinion, "fancy" should never be the focus in this monthly challenge and I hope others take your lead and share their skills, regardless of level. I tend to  like building layers in songs to develop my recording skills, but I personally enjoy going to public venues and listening to the solo artists as much as any band, and many of these artists use " simple" play in their performances.

I can not detect anything wrong at all. We are all our own worst critics.

That is excellent, beautifully done!  Thank you for sharing it with us.😎👏👏👏

Nice playing.

Did you create all parts or did you play it over a backing track?

Wim.

Very nice!! This is clear proof that you can create quality productions in Garageband. You put together a fun project and I just had to have a copy.😀

Hello Everyone;  Here's my submission for the May Recording Challenge on the topic of "Emotions" ... 

Black Orpheus - Mahna De Carnival, by Luis Bonfa.

This song is about dreams, love and the excitment of the Carnival, the beginning of Lent in Brazil.
I'll sing to the sun in the sky
I'll sing till the sun rises high
Carnival time is here
Magical time of year
And as the time draws near
Dreams lift my heart

I'll sing as I play my guitar
I'll cling to a dream from afar
Will love come my way
This Carnival day
And stay here in my heart?

Will true love come my way
On this Carnival day
Or will I be alone with my dream?

As many of you know, I'm "into" Jazz guitar, and lately, I've been explorig the classic popular sub=genre of Bossa Nova, which was very popular in the 1960's and '70s. This song is considered a "Jazz Standard" and has been recorded by every major artist and singer that you can think of from Perry Como to Frank Sinatra, and guitarists from Jose Feliciano to Earl Klugh and George Benson.

Recorded direct to Reaper 6.1 DAW with my Gibson ES-137, clean with a bit of reverb (post recording production Voxengo Bogex Pluggin) .

I hope I've done it some justice, and you enjoy it!  All the Best! Neil

By the way... I posted the "Lead Sheet" (sheet music) in th. DOWNLOADS section for you. Give it a go!

@NeilES335,

You did a great job on the comping and the melody, Neil! The tone you get out of your ES-137 is very sweet.

It's a beautiful song full of melancholy.

Wim.
