------------------< RULES >-------------------------
SUBMITTING: To complete the challenge, record an eligible song and reply to this thread with your your direct-linked or embedded track (Soundcloud's great) before the end of the month.

GUITAR REQUIREMENT: You must play at least one real guitar track heard in the mix.

GEAR: All content must be recorded with your home studio equipment. You may use BIAB or loops as long as you play the majority of the song with your real guitar. This is a guitar playing challenge not a sampling/recording challenge so keep that in mind.

TIME: A recording made at any time before the entry deadline counts, but do not enter a recording in more than one challenge.

ONE ENTRY per person or collaboration. But, I doubt anybody will complain if you want to share another on-theme track too.

NEXT THEME: The person to choose next month's theme will be chosen randomly from those who complete this challenge. 
-----------------------------------------------------

Have fun, try something new, and give us something to listen to!

Vacation, freedom, flying like a bird...

To me, Albatross is all about that.

Thanks for listening, 

Wim.

 

[UncleHammy]

Another great one @Wim VD beautiful tone and smooth as silk.  

Thanks for sharing.

 

[DianeB]

Sweet! Shades of Peter Green and Fleetwood Mac!

[Nutty1]

Great sound Wim, beautifully played.

[Texaspackerfan]

Danny

 

[Randy120]

@Wim VD Nice tune for a hot day.

[Oldjock]

Well done Wim.

Henk

[Wim VD]

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.

[WATSON43]

I'm not exactly sure if this song meets the guidelines, but my understanding is that Neil Young wrote it about one of his old cars, so I guess you could say it's about driving.  Thanks for listening.

 

[UncleHammy]

Really well done @WATSON43 that is a great recording.

Great song and well played.

 

[Oldjock]

Great job Watson43, that was very good. You even sound like Neil. I'm not sure but I think this car was an old hearse.

Henk

[Wim VD]

Simply beautiful, @WATSON43.

I love everything about it: The rythm parts, the solo and your singing. Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed listening to it several times today.

Wim.

[Nutty1]

Well done Watson43 great job all round. I really enjoyed it.

[Texaspackerfan]

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.

Danny

[WATSON43]

@UncleHammy, @Oldjock, @Wim VD, @Nutty1 and @Texaspackerfan: Thank you all for your words of encouragement.

By the way @Wim VD, you did a really nice job on "Albatross".  I must admit I didn't know anything about early Fleetwood Mac, but after hearing your song I listened to some of their stuff online.  I particularly like the blues tune "Need Your Love So Bad".  Peter Green's solos on that song are so tasteful; he plays with beautiful tone and feeling.

[Texaspackerfan]

well folks, here is my entry for this month.  this recording thing has got me consumed.  I need to learn more. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

name of the song is "Some Beach" hope you enjoy.

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

@WATSON43 "Need your love so bad" is definitely on my list of songs I want to learn some time soon. Learning guitar also makes me discover great songs and players from the past.
