Members LiFeStArTs@40 Posted June 13, 2010 Members Share Posted June 13, 2010 Well, I didn't record anything new for this VOM but I did this little ditty called Shove Off a while back.

Members Mike_E_McGee Posted June 13, 2010 Members Share Posted June 13, 2010 Some very quick impressions and questions and such:Gitnoob, I didn't notice any mistakes. Were you not planning on singing? Your voice was pretty burried in the mix. Sounded like it was just bleed through on the guitar mic. I'd like to hear you sing with it.Stackabones, That's cheating! You're not in reentrant tuning! I just got a cheapo reso uke and it's kicking my...pecker off. I really dig using the 4th string as a high pitched pedal tone, but it sure would make more sense to me an octave down! Assuming you fiddle with it, can I request your next ditty be reentrant tuned?Chriscarnucci, you've got an eagle eye. That is my Larrivee D-02R. All solid wood and with a hard case for $600, some 12-15 years ago. I was heartbroken when they discontinued these. At the time it was the only sub $1000 non laminate I could find. She's my only wood body acoustic...(for now)Frets99, Those kids are way cooler than I was at their age! Looks like you're doing a good job. Nice playing and nice singing for sure!!

Members gitnoob Posted June 14, 2010 Members Share Posted June 14, 2010 Gitnoob, I didn't notice any mistakes. Were you not planning on singing? Your voice was pretty burried in the mix. Sounded like it was just bleed through on the guitar mic. I'd like to hear you sing with it. Thanks for not noticing my several blunders. I was just trying to keep time with the singing. I should probably try humming instead.I'll tell you -- trying to record for this VOM really brought home to me how hard it is to make it through a piece with no mistakes. I have a deeper appreciation for everybody else's outrageous chops now.I really liked your MJH piece, BTW -- I'm adding that one to my list.Excellent performances by everyone! Thanks for enduring the pain of listening to this noob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Pine Apple Slim Posted June 14, 2010 Members Share Posted June 14, 2010 Better late than never......I got it from James King, bluegrass singer.Bed by the WindowTwo old friends shared a room in a home for the elderlyConfined to their beds their bodies giving wayOld Joe lay by the window and watched the day go byAnd Bill lived to hear him tell about the world outsideThey shared with each other the stories of their livesAnd relived all their memories and dreams of a better timeOutside the leaves were changing, summer turned to fallAnd from the bed by the window old Joe described it all From, the bed by the window he'd tell how the children played The lovers in the park, the ducks out on the lake The little boy swept the sidewalk when the sun came up each day From the bed by the window he told it just that wayOn a cold winter morning in the light of the dawnThe bed by the window was empty old Joe had passed and goneThey moved Bill by the window he couldn't hold back the tearsHe'd finally see the view outside after all these years From the bed by the window he couldn't see out at all There was nothing out that window but an old brick wallA new friend shares a room in a home for the elderlyConfined to his bed his body has given wayNow Bill lay by the window as the days go byAnd his new friend left to hear him tell about the world outside From, the bed by the window he'd tell how the children played The lovers in the park, the ducks out on the lake The little boy swept the sidewalk when the sun came up each day From the bed by the window he told it just that wayTwo old friends shared a room in a home for the elderly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sixgunner455 Posted June 14, 2010 Members Share Posted June 14, 2010 Excellent work this month. I've got a couple of songs I'd like to throw in here with, but I seem to be incapable of making MP3 files small enough for HC to let me attach. Is there a way I can get on the VOM site without having participated in VOM previously? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members masterbuilt Posted June 14, 2010 Members Share Posted June 14, 2010 I wanted to post something today and I planned to do so, but the release of the latest issue of Ukulele Player Magazine occupied all of my time. They had to happen on the say day, as luck would have it... but I will post a vid tomorrow when I get home from the office. Meanwhile, Ukulele Player can be downloaded here:http://www.tricornpublications.com/uke_player.htm (Issue 13 has a review of the newest version of MixCraft) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Stackabones Posted June 14, 2010 Author Members Share Posted June 14, 2010 can I request your next ditty be reentrant tuned? It is reentrant tuned. All my ukes (and uke recordings) use reentrant, gCEa. I even have recordings of reentrant tuned guitars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sixgunner455 Posted June 14, 2010 Members Share Posted June 14, 2010 You're all set - details in PM - have at it... Thank you, sir! This is a VOM1T. Song is my arrangement of "Ain True Love", but without words. I haven't done much recording, but I used a CAD22 mic, a Blue Icicle, and Audacity. Guitar is a Takamine GS330S wearing a six-month-old set of EXP16 strings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members skatalite Posted June 14, 2010 Members Share Posted June 14, 2010 Ah! It took longer to export and upload than I thought. But here it is, my first VOM submission! Thanks for the opportunity! This is my first YouTube submission, too. I wanted the recording to be kind of "gritty," so I used my laptop's built-in camera and mic to pick up everything, hence the clipping effect. I decided to match the audio with black-and-white, saturated video. I like the result, but didn't expect YouTube to reduce the quality as much as it did, so it somewhat overblows the effect I was going for. Guitar: Epiphone AJ500ME with two-week-old D'Addario EXP16sPrizefighters All!What Humanism Doesn't Understand [YOUTUBE]72ogQ988hFM[/YOUTUBE] Lyrics:I believe I'm in beginning stages Of awareness of my own sins Of an empty, blank sulkiness Of never-ending distress While my brothers feed on each other Tearing apart flesh and limbs I realize we can find no joy And without God there's emptiness If my refusal to be awoken Is what put me in this place Then let me be buried forever So that I'm out of the way I'm trying to sing my songs But I only form broken words I'll forever gurgle at your feet Knowing I'll never be heard And as anger overcame them In the lives they had before They begin to bite their own bodies Fueled by their wrathful cores If my refusal to be awoken Is what put me in this place Then let me be buried forever So that I'm out of the way Brutal, vengeful and awful is all they'll ever be Hopeless, sullen, withdrawn is what describes me "In weeping and in grieving," a man once said "Accursed spirit, may you long remain" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
