Thanks - lol, trumpets ...

Here's a video I took a couple of years ago of some buskers to satisfy your trumpet craving: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tROBac57qC0

That's no problems - I used to hear this played on the radio when I was a kid, I changed the key to suit me

Capo's on 3rd, and playing in 'C', so it's probably D# ....

Thanks to both of you for the feedback

Cheers

Thanks - it's a Rode lavalier mic like this one:

I got the 'headset' part from a cheap $8 mic on eBay, and pulled that off and hot glued the Rode in it's place ... this goes directly into my iPhone and I use one a bluetooth camera switch to turn it on and off ... that, coupled with a stand for the phone, is about all I use.

The guitar and vocal all come through the one microphone, and it's sometimes hard to get the distance right to pick up the voice and guitar equally, but I've found a little bit of post-processing in Logic helps before mixing it all down in iMovie ...

With this song I did a bit of experimenting with the EQ and applied an 'auto wah' sound to the one sounds most associated with the guitar, and reverb to the ones most associated with my voice. So don't use a PA or amp throughout, and the computer is just used at the end of the process.

Thanks for listening!!

Thanks for the explanation Peatle, we've been at home for 2 weeks now, so I took the kids to the local park today (only saw about 10 people in the hour we were there, and we all kept well away from each other). After that we took a drive to the beach and back to give the car a bit of a run, and saw a lot of teddy bears on gates and in windows; I told the kids I'd seen something on Facebook about it (but I don't really _read_ FB, kinda just flick through), so I'm glad I can tell them what it means now

And thanks for posting the poem/song lyrics EB!!

LOL, funny story      

Sorry for your loss, Joe, it was a good song that I could hear ...

In Perth, we are all instructed (as far as possible) to work from home, to limit exposure. Our company services a large supermarket chain (based in Sydney), and they're doing the same - unfortunately the digital networks and ISP's are slowing down as a result of everyone working from home. Store shelves are empty, un-imposed rations are being administered, every concert has been closed (after a lady went to the WASO concert in a contagious state). https://www.perthnow.com.au/news/public … 881483565z

Sporting events are to go ahead, but with no crowd in the stadiums, I'm guessing until one of the players is diagnosed with it, then they will probably shut down as well. Kids are still attending school, but every event and after school activity for the foreseeable future has been cancelled.

Strange times we're in ...

If you're going offline, OnSong has this feature ...

If the action is still high, try lowering the tuning from EADG to DGCF and play everything two frets higher, or use a capo ...
