Re: New Postings On Sound Coud (25 replies, posted in My local band and me)
Well, I managed to grab a few 5 minutes yesterday, and you play awesomely!! Moonlight Sonata has been a favourite of mine since I was young, but I've got to say the stand out track for me was Malaguena - I've probably heard it before, but didn't know the name of it ...
I'm not sure why you'd think people would be reluctant to hear classical music - I love it when played on guitar; it has a certain quality that can't be captured on other instruments, it may not be everyones cup of tea, but I would hope that (as a collective bunch of guitarists) we'd be able to appreciate well played piees on th instrument of our choice. I love rock, but don't really like heave metal, but I can appreciate a good tune in that genre too ...
Anyway, hope you post some more for us mere mortals to ogle ![]()
Cheers
Richard

Re: Mr Sandman (13 replies, posted in My local band and me)
This sounds great. I think Beamer has rubbed off on me because I was expecting to hear Enter Sandman, which is a different song entirely.
It did get me wondering if anyone has attempted an Enter Sandman cover on uke, which I shall now research.
Again, sounded wonderful!

Re: Having trouble with Song Book (19 replies, posted in About Chordie)
Have a look for the CCleaner keyword in the forums - I remember Classical Guitar wrote a lengthy description on how to fix this issue - or you may want to touch base with him to ask him (sorry, I use Mac's, so I'd be slow to guide you through a Windows process) ....

Re: Jamming with son (6 replies, posted in My local band and me)
Thanks all - I was hoping to record it with him, but found the continual arpeggios hard on his fingers ... but he was happy to learn something outside of his normal music class - I told him he should play it for his teacher, but he gets a bit shy(?) - anyway he loves playing keys, and I think he's top of his class - but my opinion may be biased ![]()

Re: Pawn Shop Guitar Cases (8 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
I buy very expensive classical guitar cases and have never had anyone to try to take something that does not belong to them. At the same time there is nothing wrong with being thrifty and buying a used case if it fits your guitar. I doubt it has to with "would-be thieves".
I probably should quantify my response with the fact that, when working in a band, I've worked a lot of pubs/clubs where people can be tempted under the influence of alcochol to take something that's not theirs - it's happened to me at least once, fortunately I got that guitar back (the red and black acoustic) and I'm on a local group where there are weekly posts about people gear getting nicked - but most of them are from parked cars with all the gear in the back.
I'm glad it hasn't happened to you; it's not a nice feeling when gear goes missing ...
Hope that explains it.
Cheers
Richard

Re: Pawn Shop Guitar Cases (8 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
That is a great deal. I have been known to buy a case here and there. I have no problem buying a used case.
Sometimes it's good to have expensive guitars in cheap looking cases, so they look less appealing to would-be thieves ....

Re: Recording Onto SoundCloud: Do I Have To Pay? (7 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I'm not a SoundCloud expert (one app I have on my iPad uploads it's recording directly there), however I believe you need to record the tune onto your local PC and do all the adjustments there, prior to uploading it to SoundCloud. I've never seen where you can record directly into it, like a recording program ... I hope others can chime in if I'm mistaken.
Cheers
Richard
