Members Michael Martin Posted March 8, 2014 Author Members Share Posted March 8, 2014 Bangalore! A rare (for me) instrumental. I am trying to break out of my accustomed rhythmist typecasting. Recorded a couple of months ago on the Fostex 8-track, utilizing an AT2020 condenser mike for everything. Strat for the lead figure (through a Peavey Classic 20 amp) and '73 Hummingbird for the rhythm, and tambourine track. Melodic line was something that just came up while fooling around on the unplugged Strat, which is how I've been playing a lot lately when at home while others are sleeping. To my ear it sounded vaguely Indian so I named it after a part of India that a friend is from. Edit: I don't know what's up here. Twice I placed the link to the song into this post, and twice it was converted to a link that goes to my Soundcloud page rather than to the song track. So see if this works--the link directly below that has "bangalore" in the title. So nice that they always screw around with this place during V.O.M.s.

Members Hoddy Posted March 8, 2014 Members Share Posted March 8, 2014 Here's one from my band back in the early 90s...this was done at our singers house...he had a small home studio. I play all the guitars except the bass. https://app.box.com/s/zj8tkwq08z19mdif88e2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Idunno Posted March 8, 2014 Members Share Posted March 8, 2014 wtf...gotta give credit where it's due. They're trying. I just hope it sticks after GC gets sold off here shortly. Just recorded this an hour ago. I put a Zoom H4 on a wall shelf about 12 feet from a Fishman SA220. The amp was set for dry guitar with some reverb on voice. The guitar is the Goodall RCJC with D'Addario EJ16s. The mike is a Shure SM57. The guitar system is the PWM into the amp via a Nady MGT-16 wireless. I recorded standing up reading the lyrics from my computer because I can't remember crap these days. Besides a frog popping up to see what the noise was about, at the usual critical point, it came out okay. https://app.box.com/s/5dukrr7aqdey0lsm70u0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members riffmeister lives Posted March 8, 2014 Members Share Posted March 8, 2014 It's been a long, cold, snowy winter. Finally, temperatures are beginning to climb and we're getting ready to "spring forward". So this is a little theme for "Winter into Spring". In a minor key which I guess is "winter" and then ends on a major chord which signifies the first glimpse of "spring". Played on a lovely old Manuel Velazquez classical guitar from 1958, recorded on a Zoom H4n, reverb added in the mix down. http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=12713290 .

Members fatback Posted March 9, 2014 Members Share Posted March 9, 2014 I like It Micheal - The Indian/Arabic vibe really interesting. Do you ever listen to David Graham? Very much the same kind of western - mid - eastern feel to it. Great. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fatback Posted March 9, 2014 Members Share Posted March 9, 2014 Thanks Idunno for posting that. I'm not generally into 'cowboy' narratives but the gentle and sensitive guitar and the singing encouraged me to listen to the end. I'm glad I did.

I'm not generally into 'cowboy' narratives but the gentle and sensitive guitar and the singing encouraged me to listen to the end. I'm glad I did. Phil James Taylor wrote that for his new-born nephew, also named James, back in 1970. I wonder if the kid, now 44, has any stories to tell about growing up the subject of one of his uncle's most well-received songs. Oh, and thanks. I tried to give it my best.

Members Michael Martin Posted March 10, 2014 Author Members Share Posted March 10, 2014 Ha. I love that! Hmmm maybe I should re-name it "Hidalgo"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Freeman Keller Posted March 10, 2014 Members Share Posted March 10, 2014 MM - yes, that is not what I have come to expect from you and it is a nice change. Very effective and very well doneHoddy - I too would have liked a little more vocal, but well doneIdunno - first, welcome to the forum and thanks for posting. That has always been a favorite song and it seems to suit you.Riff - I'm sure glad that you are back. I could listen all night OK, I was going to post a crappy version of Anji but instead here is an old Paul Siebel song that has been covered by Bonnie Raitte, Leo Kottke and so many others. I love the words but since I can't sing I'll spare you. http://vom.infocusreviews.com/index.php?p=play&id=Freeman_Keller/Louise.mp3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jamesp Posted March 11, 2014 Members Share Posted March 11, 2014 How do you give Gold here? To mark HCAG 4.0 we should keep this VOM going all month. We could call it the vBOM. I got my recording stuff set up yesterday, and started working out something to record, but I'm so out of condition that my hands were shot after 20 minutes!
