may 27 improv vid
OK, another tech test. I made a backing track on the big laptop with garage band, then sent it to i tunes. just a basic 12 bar blues in A. then i put that on a jump drive and put it in the little laptop. i plugged that into the amp, along with the fender, and played a 2 track thing. I did this because I didnt't buy a looper pedal today. so i figured out how to make my own loops and run them on the little apple ibook. now i don't need no pedal!
the miked amp is too distorted. mike placement and volume is critical. still working on it.

May 18 vid with 4 tracks in A
OK, this one is a little rough, but it's 4 tracks. drums, 2 guitars, keyboard. didn't really keep the beat so well. it's a mix of direct input and mike. sounds like a bad practice session of a garage band! oh well, it's all practice, that's true.
the video if from 1975. guess who they are..

May 15 improv in G
after you read the sunday paper, take a listen to my daily vid. guess the film clip used for the video. garage band was set on texas blues, the fender was plugged straight into the computer. that eliminates the annoying hiss from using the mike. next time i'm gonna plug the amp into the computer and record the drum loop, then play the guitar on a second track.
enjoy!

May 14 improv in A sort of
ok, this improv was done with some distraction, but that's OK. family first! so I'm in A mostly, with the amp drum loop. i like the drum loop; it keeps me in time and it's a second instrument to work with.
i'm feeling better about recording my music -- and that's one point of these daily vids.

vid of the day
here is the vid of the day:
I knew a guy back in the 80s who tried to write a poem a day. i'm puttin out a vid a day, good or bad, better or worse. watch me improve!
this one had a few glitches. i like the big wheels effects. not my best playing. lately i've been favoring the epiphone. so next vid should use that one. go epi dot! I put new strings on it, ernie ball 10s -- slinky! my fave strings!
Friday, May 6, 2011
today's video
ok, here is today's video
improv in E, using "barroom lead" in garage band. too much distortion! i'm using the 339 but you can hardly tell. anyway, i'm going thru all garage band guitar effects -- good or not so good.
anyhoo ---- enjoy!
