A Guitar And Gear Support Forum

An idea for this first weekend in December...

It would be interesting to hear you play, sing or snap your fingers along to one (or two, or all) of these two-and-a-half minute clips. No rules, no judgments (although constructive input is always appreciated). I tried to steer away from minor keys to take a break from the pandemic gloom.

Do whatever you want: Add a tasty bass line, strum along with your favorite tone or bedazzle us with a mixolidian (sp) mode solo.

If you make a video, there's extra credit for cat content.

Many of these clips will be familiar and all of them were lifted from YouTube without giving proper credit - but check out the nifty avatars I made for each! Apologies in advance if I omitted your favorite genre.



I think the solo would be in E for this one

I like the concept here, trying to decide if there is any instrument ( or skill ) i have that I might possibly sustain for long enough to fill one of these clips. I actually found my old violin from my grade-school days in the basement the other day, possibly a fit for the country tune?

Is there an easy way to download the tracks?

Maybe do a screen capture and save it as a MP3 on your desktop?

It amounts to recording a recording.

I figure if I pitch an idea, I should participate. Rather than watching 2.5 minutes of me trying to hold in my stomach for the camera, I threw in one of my Summer-on-the-Ranch clips.

Background: Thanks to the pandemic, I lost some hours at work but had loads of vacation time built up. So why not try something new? Somebody I knew needed a hand with irrigation and chores so I volunteered.

Most of the summer's clips were quickies documenting the Only-Seen-from-a-Distance tasks I was attempting. On this occasion I just let the camera roll because it was too ridiculous to stop recording. I've sinse improved. The trick: pre-drill the hole and then try to hit the nail head at least every other swing.

The Boss OD3... I have "better" OD pedals but I succumb to tweeking knobs instead of playing. I added a bit of compression to the guitar when I edited the recording, but that's it.

Do you have the original MP3's that you could email if people wanted to participate? Soundcloud used to make it easy to download songs. Dang.

Yes, I think. PM me your address.

Nicely done TL.
