Thank you Roger,I really never know whats going to come out when I start recording I hit on a new idea earlier this mornning and recorded it so I woulden't forget which can happen even if you write the chords and lyrics out,you forget the "feel" and a recording jogs the memory better then looking at some scribbles on paper thanks again for your comments

A rather different style from you this time and a very enjoyable piece too.

there is no easy way to finger frets it takes time especially bar chords it helps if your strings are not to high off the fretboard and not real heavy guage and with time and practice you will play a nice sounding bar chord but it wont happen overnight seek help from someone in a music store who plays guitar and ask this question you may get some good pointers you never know good luck
vanheusen wrote:Hi all players (guitar players that is)
Im absolutly new at learning guitar, and what I found very challenging playing different notes on different ferrets.
I cant seem to get my index finger to push on all strings on the ferrit to produce the required sound.
Take the F# for instance.
finger 1 pushes on all strings on the second ferrit, while the other fingers press on other strings.
Does anyone know a good techniqute to over come this problem?
Any response would be much appreciated.
Mike.
first his guitar is tunned down a half step to Eb on the 6th string and all the other strings are normal tunning ie..Ab 5th,Db 4th,Gb3rd,Bb2nd,Eb1st the bar posistion is a C type x355 and he uses a partial bar for 34xxxx this is moved in conjuntion with the C type theres also another chord similar to a bar Cminor hope this helps a little

Some good news,the US government said they underpaid me for earnings for the years 2006 to 2007 and are sending me a check on the third of december for $150.00 plus they added $10.00 a month to my social security payment and with the 6.5% cost of living increase starting in january of 2009 I can afford to get some more ice cream
dino I appreciate your comments it was a highlite meeting him because I had all his records and I used to laugh my a#* off he was off the wall to be sure,it must have been a thrill to meet Jimmy Reed and I was in california around the same time in the late sixties funny how some things stay with your memories, and thanks again for the nice words

thanks geo and I dont know how to classify it either it felt like a new orleans dixieland blues kind of thing to me I guess its a good thing in a way not being able to put it in a slot and say its a this or that song so I will only say its my music and none is quite the same as the other if that makes any sense but as long as there are people who listen to it thats good enough for me
geoaguiar wrote:Nice tune Russell. Congrats on another quality composition...very hard to classify...Country Blues perhaps?
Randy i had to uninstall and reinstall reaper due to some bugs and the asio driver on the new reaper download didnt let the sound come thru the speakers so i had to reconfigure the audio settings to output from my speakers I may have the latentcy problem again but at least its working now so when I use the program i will do the mixing in my digital recorder first and send the recording into reaper and render them as flac or mp3 depending on the size of the file but till I can get a better handle on this program Im going with what works
Let me guess and give that google thing another shot or two its really cool and I never heard of expaudio must be some software from Europe

i knew what it was called, i just preferred "rumpy pumpy" it's the posh english word for you know what?
thats great! evsynator i will add your name to the producers list and if you list the instruments you play there are links at the top of the page to add your name to and thanks again
evsynator wrote:I got plenty of time on my hands Russel ... dont mind giving it a go at mixing and adding instruments etc ... though I would not put anyone through the suffering of my vocals .
There are more advantages with a digital like mine you get to mix on the fly an example of this is the last song i uploaded to myspace "Rumpty Humpty" I was able to pan a lead solo as it was being recorded in Reaper that's the only way to get that effect plus you can record several tracks premix them and send them into reaper as 2 tracks stereo already mixed so you can add 8 more and send them in as 2 etc... so in effect you cut down on time,time it would take to process all those tracks you can have 16 tracks on 4 on reaper and if you want add 16 more and so on, this will not take away from useing the fx effects on single tracks you can add my recorder uses zip disks 100MB and there are options for long play and the nice thing is because its digital no sound quality is sacrificed and they can be refreshed and used indefinitely over and over with out wearing out,I have been useing the same 10 zip disks for over 12 yrs without loss off sound quality,in short there are a lot of advantages to having one and that's my take on it

This is my recorder a Boss br-8 digital 8 track this is where it all starts
Thank you ark,I do enjoy a lot of genres and I never really know which one will pop up when it comes to an idea for a song so I just move with the groove so to speak, it feels natural and makes it easier to lay down tracks when I dont have to force it,I appreciate your comments "spicey chap" almost sounds like a song title hmm....:)

Variety is the spice of life so it is told and musically you are a very spicey chap
Two great tracks there
Well done...

you can read about it here it looks like a real good choice for the money mine is a br-8

I think this is what your getting looks good
I am working with the Reaper now and for awhile it had me stymied but riddler gave me some advise and the last two songs on myspace were edited in this new program its reallly a cool program and once you dig into it results follow

That's a Squier, right? Yeah, I've looked at those. I played my friend's American Strat, though, and didn't like it much. I also played a guy's Ibanez RG (a $400 guitar) and absolutely loved it, so that's why I'm going with the RG.
So what was it?

thanks Stephen glad you enjoyed it and hows your recording comming along? it takes a little time to get comfortable with mixing and all the effects and editing tools (it did for me ) keep on recording and writting thats the only way that works,time
Phill it was Rumpty Humpty and the vocal effect was a patch on my Boss br=8 called "the chipmunks" the reason it was in Ab is that the rhythm tracks(guitar,bass,drums) were transfered from an old cassette to my digital so I had to retune all the additional instruments a half step down and both songs were rendered in my new Reaper Recording software with a lot of help from riddler(Randy) in setting it up the wav recording is much better but the file is to big for myspace so I had to convert it to mp3 and it lost a lot of punch, Yes it snowed up north and we had a few flurries in Port Washington but the heavy stuff is on its way when you have some time we can video chat on google let me know when your free and thank you for your comments
