That background, together with the Jazz Chords Fretboard Workout, helped me a lot when learning this slow blues.

Thanks for listening,

Wim.

 

Great job with that Wim as usual! Maybe you'd like to try this backing track on my SoundCloud  station.  I can't take credit for it. It's in the BB King style. https://soundcloud.com/search?q=neiles335

Thanks Neil. I just started learning a solo in BB King style on "The thrill is gone". It's 24 bars long, so it will take a while to learn to play it from memory.

How is your guitar journey going?

Wim.

I posted this in a Ukulele post else where but probably deserves to be here.

I've signed up for beginner group ukulele lessons at the local store Jan 27-2019.. and I've rented a Uke for the grand sum of $12 for 3 months.

but the lessons haven't started just yet.

plinking on it, took a song book out of the library while waiting for the class to start. but I've be volunteered by my wife for a retirement community Hawaiian Party on March 2, to play a couple of songs..

Wife thought a 'standard' is Tiny Bubbles.

so without further ado with out lessons (shows) and 30min practice time.. here is my very first take of Tiny Bubbles on Ukulele.

(Post edit, I was the only one to sign up for group lessons,  ukulele class canceled)

It's been quiet a ride... but here's my first "real " recording. 

I originally started learning this song from Steve Krenz's "Learn and Master Guitar - The Song Hits" some time ago. That version is in the key of Fmaj. 

I located a transcription in Dmaj, which I found much better (for me) to play.   I'll be glad to share the chart (sheet music ) with you on request.

Recorded with my Godin 5th Av Kingpin archtop, Focusrite Scarlet 2i2 interface into Reaper DAW. (yes I like this MUCH better..) 2 tracks in Stereo, panned left and right, with a touch of reverb and compression.

Moon River, by Henry Mancini, from the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's.

I hope you like it.... Thanks for listening.

Wow, @NeilES335, that's superb! Great job on your first recording. Most people (including me) would tend to go way to heavy on reverb etc when they start out, but you got it tastefully just right. Beautifully played in a way that befits this sublime piece of music. Congratulations, and bring on the next one!

Thanks @SandyB53 you're too kind..?  I'm aleady working on another one.  Now I've learned the basics of using a DAW , recording and editing, this is becoming more fun.? Recording really forces you to pay attention to playing cleanly and in constant time.  ( just playing alone you can get a bit sloppy and not notice)

Cheers; N

iPhone recording practicing the solo for Paranoid with a backing track.  No guitar in the backing track so you'll hear when I come in and go out.  

Fell off at the end but pulled out a reasonable landing.

Lest you may think that I only like jazz... I offer you, for my 2nd recording, something completely different;

"Crazy", written by Willie Nelson, A "country" classic, most closely associated with the great Patsy Cline, (who incidentally hated the song at first), recorded in 1961.

Continuing with the "Song Hits" theme, I decided to go for a "old time" feel  on this song, as it might have been played in a smokey dance hall/ jukebox joint, somewhere, in the 1960's . 

While basically following Steve K's chart, in Key of Cmaj, I recorded the rhythm using a mic (a first for me) in one magical take, played twice through with only a slight bobble here or there for " authenticity ? "

The melody track was another matter, requiring countless takes. The chart shows the lead in the first position, but I chose to play the lead in C at the 8th position, (which required me to transpose the chart and fingering)  to more closely mimic a vocalists register, with a few "jazzy" touches of course! 

I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for listening.

All the Best!

Neil

Just super Neil,  constant tempo throughout. You are really learning to use all that recording hardware. Love the Willie Nelson songs, each one tells a great story.

Thanks very much @Oldjock Henk, especially the comment about tempo. I always thought my "internal tempo" was pretty good, but using the metronome clicking in your ear while you practice/record really forces you to pay attention, apparently with good results. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
