Hows it gong Steve, your playing a real low profile these days

I've been about Alan!

Just got SONAR 8 today and I've got a lot of reading up to do - looking forward to it though

Bill,

I had an early Thanksgiving due to schedule and my current local, Korea, so I'm ready for a bit of early Christmas too. Thanks for all your post and happy holidays to all you folks, especially Pete without whom there would be many fewer things to laugh about.

OHHHHHH I'm gonna chop me guitar up and use it for firewood after listening to your holiday Jam..Pure envy mate...absolutely BRILLIANT

I have to agree 100% with Alan here Bill - that's some awesome picking mate!

Quite superb - now get yourself off the Songs forum and get it posted

Cyrus,
Bill's a man of many styles and talents. Its a good while since I heard anything anywhere near as good!

Happy Christmas Pete...Where ever you are........

Have a look under his avatar Alan!!


Anywho - goodnight gentlemen, catch you soon.

It could happen, Bill. We tried it once before, but I dropped the ball.
If someone wants to take the helm, I would be glad to contribute.

Thanks Pete,

I had a hard time getting used to the steel strings. I played on it a couple of days to get rthe feel. but as you can tell I haven't spent much time on a folk guitar lately. It belongs to my brother-in law. I think it has a great sound. I believe its an Alverez.
About the string sqeaking, not too many people know about the finger lift technique you mentioned. It works and I should have had that in mind when I was playing. Many producers don't want that in their recordings. Excellent point to bring up and anyone not familiar with what you are talking about need to check into this if there is excessive noise in their guitar tracks.

thank you Alan,

That jam popped into my head when i talking to steve last week. I tried it on my classical but the string bending didn't sound right. I don't have a folk guitar and I couldn't find one here in Missouri. When I got to shreveport my brother-in law had one in his living room. I snuck off into one of the bedrooms for an hour or so to figure out how i was hearing in my head.
The classical is just me playinmg with myself. So to speak.[sm=rolleyes.gif]Next year when I have more time I"ll make into a solo guitar thing.

The holiday jam song was pretty good. There is a lot of string squeakin though. (A lot.) You can buy various products that you can wipe on the strings to help cut this down. Your technique can be slightly changed too by lifting a just little more off the fretboard before sliding to the next position.

You sad cretin.

The guy is quite clearly a gifted musician you idiot.

If you could have been bothered to look past the end of your nose and read a little bit more and maybe engage in some sort of normal social interaction like normal people do you'd have realised that Bill hasn't played for a while but now he's just starting to get back into the swing again.

Telling a guy of his technical ability about his technique just shows what a complete twat you really are - you ain't fit to polish his plectrum you self-obsessed plonker.

Are you that inadequate that you can't even be just a little humble and say something nice about someone who's got more talent in his big toe than you'll ever have?



Bill, I remember saying you were worth ten of this squirt - well, make that twenty....

Very nicely done, stratman. I was feeling like a complete holiday grinch until I heard that.

Sorry, SteveScrumpy but I real saying that I thought it was good. I just offered some constructive criticism on how he could improve. This is something you wouldn't know about because you are too busy playing with Photoshop.

It goes without saying, Get the colab with Bill and Steve sorted first...I'm looking forward to hearing that too,

ORIGINAL: pistolpete

A collab with Bill and Scrumpy? That would be funny. Bill would have to play "breakin the law" over and over again. Thats all Scrumpy knows how to play. (not counting the one or two punk covers) That could turn into a real "guitar ruckus"...

Feeling left out Pete? Wanna contribute? Go on - I dare ya!
