Russell - that sounds great ! It appears that you are really into it and very satisfied.
I think you have already gotten your money's worth just in that video. Awesome!Can you record with that system ? ( as in add lyrics - singing as you play ?
Jim
Thanks Jim there is a way, I am just running the spark headphone jack out direct to my camera for this and the 1st video to add a vocal I would need to run the output to a mixing board or my PA head and plug in a microphone via a vocalizer to get reverb with harmony, I have not tried that yet I think the best way is instead of plugging in my headset I can run a stereo mini jack out of my camera to my Tascam DP24 track and use another channel to add the microphone with effects in real time then combine the video and audio in my video program that's one way but I am not quite ready to add vocals and I can experiment with this more as I learn how to use this new dimension keep ya posted

Looks like a handy little piece of software sure could help folks figure out the chords alright but I dont think it will help a bass player if no chords are played only root notes.

Beamer I can take you this far it is in E not A it begins EBE AB EBE AB A B A B then A Db B A Db B A F# A F# A B Db AF# Db F# Ab B (the last four are quick) these chords or notes will get you most of the way just play along with it

Did you play that stupid game where you spin for the discount ? I have played it everyday since you posted and never got a code for more than 10 % ( Which is ok)
I'm holding out for the 20% - if I get that I would get this amp for $209 darn good deal I think - except - as I am reading many reviews - loads of them say it has a huge annoyance in hum feedback because of improper grounding - a bad plugDid you get that hum with yours ?
Jim
No I ordered it straight from Sweetwater and I have no issues with hum, still learning how to use it but I do know you need a Iphone or tablet with 8.0 version I downloaded it on my new phone from Spectrum and have it on my new Tablet also no hum tell those guys to get some better cables

Re: My New Spark Positive Grid amp (11 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Well it turned out the new tablet did not work out I was unable to download the software from Spark the tablet uses a android 6 and spark requires an android 8 or higher but the good news is Amazon agreed to let me return it and refund so it seems it will be a bit before I can download the software on a new tablet so it looks like I will have to do a video using the screen on my phone and I am kicking around some ideas how to present the video keep you informed ###update### oct 10th I purchased another android tablet it will arrive tomorrow it has 8.1 more then enough to handle spark cant wait to download it and they accepted my request for returning the one i have and applying credit for it . I wanted to print out a return but my printer went on the fritz soooooo I ordered a new printer it will be delivered on the 14th of oct. hope nothing else breaks down its putting a dent in my account. argg

Re: My New Spark Positive Grid amp (11 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Ok I will see what I can put together using only the Spark amp I think I will shoot the video with m Sony music cam because I can run the sound out of the earphone plug on the spark directly into my camera I will get on it tomorrow I am waiting for a new tablet from Amazon it has bluetooth and a 7" screen, I already have the program downloaded on my Iphone the screen is a bit to small for my liking.

Re: Mandolin tuning discovery (4 replies, posted in Other string instruments)
I picked up an Oscar Shimidt mandolin for 100 bucks in brand new shape this summer I love the sound and I got a pickup for it which works great too, the thing that makes the mandolin stand out is the tuning it is the same as a violin and the chord sounds are unique and make the bluegrass and folk songs really sparkle. The work-around tuning is ok but you are depriving yourself of the uniqueness of the instrument tuned in 5ths sound in my opinion only
