Topic: Mando jam :-)

Hi all
I'm no mandolin player but... It's got strings frets etc so I gave it go..
Don't think I got the hang of that particular madolin sound you get while strummng so I will have to work on it.
Not sure why I put in the guitar break. I just added the strings for added interest..
Anyway have laugh and give it a listen lol

Re: Mando jam :-)

Nice job, Ark. What did you use for the drums? (I've been looking for some software to take care of it for me, as I can't play.) Thanks.

Re: Mando jam :-)

Hi KajiMa
Thanks for the comment. My recording "Rig" is pretty basic sorta spare bedroom type..
An old Tascam 4track handy as an interface for the instruments to the PC and Magix Music maker software which will basically make a guitar etc sound as you want it to with a bit of trail and error.. err lots of error. smile

Hi Russ
Thought I try something different. Not sure about lyrics though on this one..
Thanks friend..



Hey ShadyWilbury
I can't play the drums either so this particular beat came from

Thanks for the comment.


Hi daddy
Thanks for thanking the time to listen and for all your postive comments..


Hi Selso
Yes it's quite a bit different but I guess it's more like the stuff I used to do
Hope to hear more from yourself in the future.

Re: Mando jam :-)

Sweet :-)
I don't know why I love the sound of the mandolin but I do. I wish I could play and strum one but that will be another time.
Real nice work on this Ark. A good change of direction for you.
Keep at that mandy....I want to hear sum strumming.  :-)
