Members kwakatak Posted March 17, 2010 Members Share Posted March 17, 2010 Though I probably won't ever learn this technique I have to admit it's pretty damned cool. And, for some odd reason I can't put my finger on, it seems to be "you". Nice, Neil. I just love the "groove" of this song, that's all. As for it being "me" I guess maybe I'm still just very impressionable. I still find myself falling on Travis Picking in my own musical efforts but now I also find myself slapping the strings a lot more. I think it's beginning to help me to keep tabs on the tempo.

Members DeepEnd Posted March 18, 2010 Members Share Posted March 18, 2010 Michael Martin: Nice job as usual chriscarnucci: You're right, it is different but I like it. Kind of an old fashioned feel. BlackHatHunter: Nice job. tbryson: Good to hear one of your originals. Better than you led us to believe. Oldskool_Texas: Really enjoyable. Good job. Fendouglas: Loved it. Reminds me of the "filking" that crops up at science fiction conventions. Stackabones: Another nice one. carguy: Thanks. I haven't heard that song in ages. You have nothing to apologize for. One minor suggestion though: Take it slower; it sounded like you were running out of breath and having trouble keeping up with the guitar. Probably attributable to nerves, with any luck you'll get better. g6120: I liked it but it's very different from what you normally write/sing. Harder edged. You carried it off though. I've tried it a couple of times but I have that "old folkie" voice. Frets99: Nice playing but maybe tune down or transpose so it fits your voice better? slingblade10: Nice job. Surrealistic: Sounds good. Looking forward to hearing it with lyrics. riffmeister: Another great original. bludog79: Nice job. bobc: Same comments as when you posted it originally. I really like it. I'm even willing to overlook the Strat (almost). Pine Apple Slim: No worries. Pretty good, first attempt or not. Starrshine: Nicely done. You don't have a "standard" male singing voice and neither do I. Then again, neither did Tennessee Ernie Ford or Lou Rawls. phoniclab: Nice job. Not spot on the original but nice with a Country flair. Jkater: Great job. Nothing to apologize for at all. Wish I could play like that. kwakatak: Coming along quite nicely. 'Way better than I'll ever be. Buck62: Very good. Nice Alt-Country tune with good social relevance. Very professional sounding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FussenKuh Posted March 18, 2010 Members Share Posted March 18, 2010 Hi all. Seems like I'm following in the footsteps of others this month. Work has had me slammed for quite a while now. And, living in Michigan, that statement seems even more surprising to me. As such, thanks (again), Joe, for the streaming player. It means I can now rather easily listen to everyone's submissions while working. It's truly an awesome feature of the VOM archives! I tip my hat to anyone who can find the time and dedication to listen and comment on 30+ submissions each month That, in itself, is quite an accomplishment! So, thanks to everyone who took the time to give my submission a listen. And, a special thanks to any and everyone who provided me with some feedback. I know I always say this, but it bears repeating, it's truly appreciated and really does help me grow as a musician ( not quite sure if I can call myself that if I only ever play in my basement ).

Members FussenKuh Posted March 18, 2010 Members Share Posted March 18, 2010 Fuss--I didn't comment on every submittal this time but I did hear them all, and yours was exceptional. I have a new friend/musical partner/fellow guitarist from China and we were discussing our respective musical life-goals yesterday. I told her: I want to learn to play like THIS and I showed her your VOM video. You just made my morning, Michael Hearing (well, I suppose, reading) this comment and knowing the musical chops of the person it's coming from... well, lets just say that I rarely see such praise for my playing. Your feedback is just going to motivate me to work that much harder to, hopefully, improve on my play that much more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members g6120 Posted March 18, 2010 Members Share Posted March 18, 2010 Thanks to everyone who listened to our song Live And Die In Love!I've been listening slowly when I get time.Good news is work has been picking up for me. Bad news is this allows me even less time online now! So I'll finish listening and post my comments later. What I've heard so far has been great! Thanks again and I'm proud to be amongst you all. LOL......yes Sangemon I read your comment about missing seeing me in my "closet" but actually I'm like Fuss and am relegated to my basement to play guitar. My basement is under a detached garage so I can wail away and not disturb anyone! I designed a larger space for recording but as I look to my right I see that it has turnd into a storage room!! Which is why you see me always squeezed between my computer and audio rack.Someday I'll clean that room......someday..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
