Gidday,
I`m always trying new things,this is my attempt @ doing a kids story.

The story is quite good, but when listening to it, I found myself dubious about the amount of echo you've put on ... spoken word needs to be a lot clearer (and it's also probably caused the 'peaks' in the recording) ... looking forward to the next installment of the series smile

Cheers

That looks like an interesting instrument - never seen a nylon string one before!!! It would be a bit too big for my smaller hands, but sounds like it 'matches' a classical guitar sizing from the description in this video - good luck with it, post a video and show us how you tamed it!!

I had a 6 string banjo, and tuned it the same as a guitar ...

Shallow Mind - recorded live to the desk, excluding the vocals and bass, which were added later (as we were without a bass player at the time):

It was also remixed in 2013, which fixed up some bits:

I liked the jangly sound you got on your guitar!! But it's hard to hear the words (in my el-cheapo $2 headphones) ....

Ha ha!  "Hello Kitty!"  That guitar sounds good. I didn't expect that from the novelty decoration. 

I'd never heard that song before and didn't know what to expect, but I liked it and couldn't tell that you had a cold. The diction was clear and you were on key. You're very good at keeping a steady beat too. That's something I need to work on.  Very nice recording!

The "Hello Kitty" guitar is made by Squire - it doesn't sound too bad, but needs a new set of strings (as the wife never plays it) ...

Thanks for the kind words!!

This was from my solo CD recording:

Got a fair bit of air play, mostly on the local stations.

Enjoy!

This was recorded for my solo CD (a little bit Pink Floyd inspired):

I didn't get a chance to listen to your contribution yet, Neophytte, but I'm eager to hear it. I like your whole approach and style.

Thanks - my voice was a bit off, as I was coming down with a cold, and didn't know it at the time ... I may re-do it now that I'm on the mend smile

This is an instrumental I wrote a long time ago:

This was a re-recorded version for my solo CD project. I also used it recently for a backdrop to a video I put together of random photos of the sunrise from our front yard over a couple of years:

I already did "To her door" a few days ago, just before this wretched cold got a hold of me:

I love A Horse With No Name. Four chords, three of which you don't really see anywhere else, and it has a terrific bass line that I've never been able to get right.  To quote Jimmy Buffett from God's Own Drunk, "It's so simple it plumb evades me."

4??? I only used E and Em LOLOLOLOL

When I replace my scanner, I'll send you a chord chart that came from the America website. I haven't been there in a while, but they used to have chord charts to a lot of their songs the way they played them.

Not sure if this will help, but I wrote a chord diagram program some time ago:

Will also work for different stringed instruments (via settings) ...
