Hi Phill I am having a difficulty with sound my hearing requires me to wear hearing aids and when I play some notes just sound awful it seems the only keys I can play in is A or E  I am hopeful my new hearing aids will fix this problem so I can get back to picking out some new stuff my 24 track is beginning to gather dust (not really) but I still hack on the guitar and most of my time is playing chess online or study it is my second love hope all is well with you smile

I had a few similar events only it was my Les Paul guitar it fell off the stand and the top neck snapped at the bridge and Elmer's glue to the rescue! it still stays in tune and I keep it in the case when not playing it.

I must admit I dont check in or post that often after it slowed down but I still come by to read and take care of spam and such once in a while I post a video but my health has slowed me down I will be 80 this year (good lord willing) I have had to suspend playing gigs just dont have the oxygen for it due to my emphysema, it kinda bums me out but I have to accept my limitations and make the best of it. On a up note I still practice and record but the ideas for song writing just dont flow as much as they used to and old age is everything it's cracked down to believe LOL and I am to much of an egotist to give up. smile     

Good luck bring home 1st smile

Russell - that sounds great ! It appears that you are really into it and very satisfied.
I think you have already gotten your money's worth just in that video.  Awesome!

Can you record with that system ? ( as in add lyrics - singing as you play ?

Jim

Thanks Jim smile there is a way, I am just running the spark headphone jack out direct to my camera for this and the 1st video to add a vocal I would need to run the output to a mixing board or my PA head and plug in a microphone via a vocalizer to get reverb with harmony, I have not tried that yet I think the best way is instead of plugging in my headset I can run a stereo mini jack out of my camera to my Tascam DP24 track and use another channel to add the microphone with effects in real time then combine the video and audio in my video program that's one way but I am not quite ready to add vocals and I can experiment with this more as I learn how to use this new dimension keep ya posted smile

Looks like a handy little piece of software sure could help folks figure out the chords alright but I dont think it will help a bass player if no chords are played only root notes.

Beamer I can take you this far   it is in E not A    it begins  EBE AB EBE AB  A B  A B then A Db B   A Db B   A F#   A F#   A B Db  AF#   Db F# Ab B (the last four are quick) these chords or notes will get you most of the way just play along with it
