This is one of your songs that beats everything on Country radio.
I have burned your Hell And High Water CD to my computer. I'll try to find an original to return to you. Text me your address.
I didn't know you were on SoundCloud. I'll follow your station. I used to use it quite a lot, and need to get back to doing so. I miss hearing all Jets60's new songs.
Very nice. Three chords and the truth.
"Recorded on a cheap mic in a spare bedroom under the influence of adult beverages." Wasnt that the warning label on your first album?
I have always appreciated your ability to formulate a song around a phrase. Your word play has always impressed me, and as I've gotten to know you better, I've noticed that its something you continuously practice and hone. There's a lesson for me in there somewhere.

I can't remember half the stuff from last week !
Yeah I thought you were going to do a couple a while ago, though I can't remember which ones
If you want to give this one a shot be my guest. I thought Phill was going to do it but Ann must have made other plans for him
just like my wife does.
Anyway, I'd be honored if you did one of my songs. I'm not much of a musician and it is always so cool for me to hear my songs really played by guys that actually know how to play and can sing.
Thanks and I hope your new equipment is awesome.
Jim
Quick shot at it.

I don't lay claim to "guys that actually know how to play and can sing." I do lay claim to "I have very little shame and will give it a shot."
I like this song real well.
Don't I owe you a couple recordings from like six years ago?
I finally bought the gear to do them. Can you remind me of the songs you wanted me to try?
there's plenty of tutorials on youtube
I got a big fat live tutorial from Jerome. He was patient and gave an enormous amount of his time. I am very grateful to him for it. But yes, you are absolutely correct that anything you want to learn about sound editing and recording is on YouTube somewhere.

You should be able to most anything with it. BGD loves his and my son has one that he likes a lot also.
My nephew does voice acting, and this is the interface that he uses to do recording in his studio. That's what pushed me over the edge.
@zurf I didn't know the classical is hard for learning, It seems I have a difficult path.
@Peatle Jville Thank you for your motivation.
Jsut because it was difficult for me doesn't mean it will be difficult for you. You should follow your path, with encouragement from your Chordie folk!
I purchased a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2. I haven't set it up yet. I'm going to need some time to mess with it and get over the learning curve to see whether I like it and whether it will do what I want.
If you can, I'd say up the ante and go with the Audient ID14 instead of the ID4.. more ins, in case you want to record vocals (or another instrument) down the line.. but also because you get the Burr Brown audio converters..
Thanks. I thought about that, but I've had a PA and a USB mixer for quite some while for that just in case scenario and it hasn't manifested, so I think I'm going to take the risk and just meet the immediate need. I did give your suggestion some serious consideration, though.
Thanks Phillips.
TIGLJK - I'm just getting my feet wet. You could catch up to where I'm at with an hour well spent on YouTube.
@beamer For now I prefer Classical.
Classical guitarists have the maddest skills. I tried to learn classical one of the times I started, and despite having been a classical bassist at one time in my life and being familiar with the learning approach to classical music and reading a score, classical guitar was outside my grasp and strumming Willie Nelson songs with simplified arrangements became much more appealing to me.
Best of luck to you, because if you learn to play classical you'll learn terrific skills and theory that translates to other forms of music and you'll be well positioned to play anything at all.
Thanks BGD and Phill.
Phill, six years from a piece of electronic kit when obsolescence is often measured in weeks sounds like a pretty good run to me. While I appreciate the recommendation of an alternate product, I think I've narrowed down to the three above. How did the Focusright work for you before it became an obsolete clunker?
Welcome. We're happy to help with any questions you have.
There's a bunch of great free sites to get you started. Check out the Beginner's series on www.justinguitar.com if you get the chance and see if that helps you. It's free, unless you want to donate.
I hope you have a great time learning guitar.

Which?
Function is to be a low-latency box to allow me to record multi-track backing tracks for practicing against.
I'll be using Reaper, so the integrated software doesn't mean much.
, dont try to find a rhyme pattern just know its punk and some phrases get strung out rhyme within themselves.
Beamer cutting me off before I start... LOL!
I just read a story wherein BJS shot a guy in an argument, was charged with aggrevated assault, was acquitted at trial, then asked for the bullet back as it was still lodged in the victim's neck. Harsh.
Billie Joe Shaver passed earlier today (or possibly last night) at 82 years old.
He kept the Texas honky-tonk sound alive. He was a good storyteller too.
He broke into the big time by threatening Waylon Jennings, saying if Waylon didn't listen to one of his songs that he'd beat the tar out of him. Waylon's bodyguards weren't too keen on that idea, but Waylon told him, "I'll listen to one song and that's it. If I like it, we can talk. If I don't like it, you never talk to me again. If you see me coming, you turn around and walk away." Billie Joe played him three songs and they worked together for years, with Waylon introducing Billie Joe to whoever he could.
I have been reading a lot of singer/songwriter biographies in recent years. It's astounding how many people Jerry Jeff Walker helped to break into music either by sharing his stage, or buying their songs and making sure they got credit, or pushing his agent to have a record company sign someone on. Shoot, he drove Jimmy Buffett to Key West the first time Jimmy had been there, and then Jimmy slept on Jerry Jeff's couch. Jerry Jeff busted into Michael Martin Murphy's rented studio when he was recording the album with Wildfire on it, and JJW had two leggy blondes each carrying a case of booze with him. He introduced Guy Clark and Townes Van Zandt to Luckenbach, which indirectly lead to the song. When he met Todd Snider, Todd Snider beat Jerry Jeff Walker in a Jerry Jeff Walker trivia contest and they became fast friends. JJW has been a boon to so many singers, musicians, songwriters, and bartenders it's hard even to understand it all. That guy is going to be missed.

Is this a thank you for the arm twisting? Sounds like a thank you. I'll take it.
It's a thank you. Giving you credit.
I'm glad to see some folks on the forum though. Come back around more often.
BGD forced me to buy a The Loar LH300-VT off of Reverb. It's my first semi-hollow body and my first arch top. I've been playing it more than any other when I'm in my office. When I travel, I take the Ohio Valley 000 sized flat top I bought from Dirty Ed at a backyard jam at Mekidsmom's place.
For basses, my preferred bass in my office is my Ovation Magnum 3, but the only one I play on stage is a custom guitar I got from TopDawgz. He let me have it for next to nothing because it didn't make noise. Well. It made zappy crackly noises, but not the boom-boom kinds of noises that basses are supposed to make. The only thing that's left of the guitar he sold me is the body, and I've even modified it to adjust the neck angle. Everything else has been replaced. I play it on stage because it was custom built to eliminate noise on that one stage where I'm occasionally welcome to play. It is lit with LED lights and there's decorative lights all over each with their own transformer. And the electric isn't balanced. And the bass amp doesn't have a power conditioner on it. So...lots of noise with any other bass I own. I guess it's a Zurf P-bass, Model One.
alright. Without a picture it didn't happen.
Here you go. Maybe. We'll see.
