Enjoy

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 
Cheers

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
That's very nice ... you should be proud ....
Great outcome - any photos of your handiwork??
Beamer posted his vid of jamming with his son, so I thought I'd show you my boy learrning last months FSOTM:
Cheers

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 ....

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.

But we live in an MTV generation, where looks are more important than talent ...
Ok here is my entry that easybeat challenged me too. I had a bit of free time tonight to learn it, practice it a little bit and record it. Actually easybeat, when I listened to Frank Sinatra singing it, I didn't know the song at all really, it was not what I was thinking it was. Anyway, I had to do it tonight or not at all as I am babysitting my 2 yr old grandson for 3 weeks and today and tonight was my only child free day to do anything this month. Also, I have never really tried to play Jazz before, that in itself will take me a while to learn how to play properly. So I am not sure it sounds very Jazzy to be honest, and the vocals aren't the best in places as I am not that familiar with this song. It is another song that I wouldn`t mind having another go at but I had to stop, it was getting late and the neighbours probably aren't impressed!https://soundcloud.com/ukulelejan/fly-me-to-the-moon
Sounds good!! I did a version over a year ago, but my recording techniques weren't so good then (vocals are a bit distorted!!) ...
Can I challenge you to do Nancy Sinatra's "Boots are made for walking" ... ???
Cheers
Richard
Nice work!! Sounds good!!

So i`ve got both them in one shot.Haven`t heard the original for a long time.
this is a real singers song,so not one i should do,also i think classics are best left alone.
I`ll only leave it up for a week as it`s a bit of a dogs breakfast.But hey, i`m entering the spirit.
https://soundcloud.com/rough-as-gut/crazyThat was good ... is that in the Willie Nelson style? I haven't heard the original for a long time either, and tend to play it a bit more down-strummy rather than picked ... I hope you leave it up for longer!!
This is my down-strummy version ...
Cheers
Richard (with kid sitting in guitar case, who sneezed at _the_ most inappropriate time .... )
neo ..... nicely done, the sound effects on the vocals really make it too.
Thank you ... I did this one a while ago, but felt it needed to be re-done to add some effects to the vocals ...
Cheers
Richard
hb2u Russell!!
Thanks again - I'm going to throw out a challenge for Roger to do "Roxanne" by the Police ....
Have you tried the free version on CCleaner - it works well on getting cached files and corrupted cookies out of your system (I sounds like an ad!!):

I am not to worried about any indentations as the clams are designed to not leave any looking forward to putting on the strings and cranking it.

I was wondering what you were doing with clams ... until the penny dropped ...
