Members Tupelo Son Posted February 8, 2009 Members Share Posted February 8, 2009 This is an original of mine called "Too Much Grey". I recorded it live with my Sony PCM D-50, internal mics. The guitar is a cheapo auditorium acoustic. The song is pretty self-explanatory, just one of those type tunes I needed to get out of my system..... http://www.box.net/shared/bkfy94830u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members OldGuitarPlayer Posted February 8, 2009 Members Share Posted February 8, 2009 Here is a song called "Cigarettes & Whiskey" I recorded in one take a little while ago using a Dollar Store microphone into my laptop. I played a Sigma/Martin DM2 and recorded using Audacity and added a little reverb. Sorry...I couldn't find anything romantic to submit...To download the song just click on the attachment.

Members rhancox Posted February 8, 2009 Members Share Posted February 8, 2009 My submission will be a bit later. The wife is working in the office/studio. Here's my reviews so far:Garthman - That was beautiful. The voice, the accent, it was like hearing a 500 yr old recording, if it were possible of course. Well done sir.TBryson - I liked your melody. The song is sad and lovely at the same time. I'd be interested to hear those lyrics to a different tune.Totamus - It sounds like you're recovering nicely. I loved the tune. It's the kind of number you can play for hours.mrmoe - Wow. Very cool lyrics. I like our style. Kind of Cat Stevens-ish, especially with your voice.FussenKuh - I've never heard that song before but I liked your rendition. It's an interesting tune. Very well done too. Nice production.g6120 - Another great tune, Gil. The lyrics have hit home (for me) again.MichaelMarin - Beautiful song, Michael, all around. Lyrics, sound, everything. Special indeed. More to follow.

Members Melodeous Posted February 8, 2009 Members Share Posted February 8, 2009 Why do these things never come out the way I want them to? I'm going to have to spend some time with the iMac iMovie thing to get it right. Romantic being the theme, here's my 1-take of Paul Simon's Kathy's Song. Sounds kinda funky because my recording skills aren't there yet (sorry Paul).http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTJCbi2kEZQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rhythmdoctor Posted February 8, 2009 Members Share Posted February 8, 2009 Title: You Shouldn't Speak Author: Myself Record Date: 01/31/2009 This is definitely a 1 take evidenced my the clumsy playing toward the end. Unfortunately, the vocals sound distant since I had the camera kind of far away so I could get the foot drum into the picture. Anyways, here it is - If you want to go the extra mile and give it a rating (my youtube page is linked below in my sig line) that would be great!: [YOUTUBE]f12PICPrzKQ[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only been playing a few months longer than you. Thanks for posting, it takes courage at our stage. What kind of instructional materials are you using? i printed some chord charts off of the net and taught myself to read them,went to a couple of tab sites and printed off songs that i was familiar with that just had the chord printed above the lyric they changed with(i can't read tab real well,can't read music at all) and went from there...if you want you can check out my youtube channel,my user name there is diceman1000 also...i have a few of my originals posted there...thanks for the kind words,and for watching:) Damon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sangemon Posted February 9, 2009 Members Share Posted February 9, 2009 Damon, think about taking a few lessons from a good teacher. It will make a TREMENDOUS difference. I began as you did, just trying to figure it all out by myself, and it is SO much more work that way. The teachers know all the tricks, and the shortcuts, and little things that make all the difference in controlling the sounds that you make. Can you figure it out yourself? Sure, but it will take a lot longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
