Re: In C

Hi Michael
This is a good one, one of your best blues improvisatíons.
The combinations of fast runs, long hanging notes with vibrato and pauses makes it very good.

Re: Collab?

Hi Guys
I am interested to add a bass line in this collab.
Decide the chord structure and I could try to build bass line around the drumbeat.

Very nice work!! I would love to see some pictures of the inside and maybe a sound clip? Did you have any problems matching the ohm resistance? The inside of the cabinet is painted black. Matter of fact, i needed to install reinforcements in the top of the cabinet ( around the amp ) to reduce vibra...

Hi Michael
Sounds good.
Your voice sounds like Roffe Wikström voice, the swedish blues guitar player and singer.

Re: New bass guitar

Hi Michael The Bassplayers best friends among notes are the ; Root note , fifth and octave. I.e. the same notes as in a power chord. These notes can be played over all types of chords and sound good. Mixing them in a rythmic way in 1/4 notes and 1/8 notes over a chord structure will sound very good....

Hi Gerd Audacity don´t support ASIO sound drivers, has never done. If you are using Windows Vista or 7 and want to use Audacity with lowest latency you should use Audacity 2.0.4-alpha-Aug 18 2013.

Re: This bass or not this bass. That's the question

Hi Michael et all
Check the bass guitars at http://www.woodoguitars.se/basses.html
They give me major GAS. Neck through is the way to do it..
I have met the guy Arttu who design and sells them.
