The Friendly 12bar Blues Guitar Forum

Thanks VB.. I was lucky and am enjoying this years tax return the musical way :D I did another noodle session after I connected the Roland GR-50 and the Roland SC55 I am using on of the buttons on the GK2 as a kind of "hold" function in the GR-50 it's called Sustaino-S When I play a chord...

Ok, took the roland upstairs, connected it quick and fooled around with some patches (read noodled around) No editing just the plain old Roland using the current (previous owners) settings. No number one hit , no connections to my other midi equipment so no soundfonts (must be nice to use though) H...

There seems to be remarkably little on line about this piece of kit.

What there is does look intriguing. I look forward to hearing it get through its paces.

Congratulations on finding the cure for your GAS attack.

Thanks folks :D Still waiting for another approach or jam ;) Well, after his holiday and the relaxed creative mood now long gone, somebody called VikingBlues has been having a go at doing a mix, but someone called VikingBlues has got nowhere fast. :sad: :wall: It sounds very good with the BT and ei...

Concerto for Vuvuzela

as should Brazil vs Holland !!

Absolutely. Two Quarter Final matches that would both be more than suitable as a Final.

Hi VB, This final remix sounds really good to my ear. I went back and re-listened to your original and the first remix. I'm not sure now why I thought the vocals in the first remix still should come more forward. I guess when you first listen you are working hard to get all the words and so you wan...

Final mix on this. I was finding my first remix of the vocal, although bringing the vocal up in the mix was just a bit too "processed". On the car CD player it sounded slighlty like some sheep had got in on the vocals here and there. :sad: http://soundclick.com/share?songid=9329935 Not lik...

Sweet sounds sweetly played. Thanks LzyBlue. VB: How can anyone post a coherent message at 6.15 AM !!!! Unless they haven't been to bed yet. Worse than that - due to British Summer time it was an hour earlier at 5:15 am. :yikes: First day back at work - woke at 5.00 am - bit down - cheered myself u...

Glad you enjoyed the gig Strummer - I can hear your enthusiasm coming through loud and clear in your description. You got some good value in that set - shows an artist can still have stamina around the free bus pass sort of age. :thumbsup: Well found with the video btw - now when can I fit that into...

Congratulations to Germany and now to Holland too.

There's some lovely sounds there LzyBlue - I think you're going to get a lot of pleasure from this piece of GAS.

The march of the Cyber Twins continues.

You see the odd air guitar for sale on e-bay. Here's a nice sounding air guitar on YouTube. The Orange amps will help of course!

:clap: Wow, I am offline for a couple of days, and come back to find that you have really been cranking them out! May not be straight up blues, but excellent nonetheless. Keep them coming. :thumbsup: Thanks again Bb. I'm still over the moon about the sound from the Tele copy, and I think it's one o...

Quite nice, VB. I can hear much more confidence in your playing, and your singing compliments it very well. Comparisons to Knopfler (one of my very favorites) and Chris Rea are on the mark. Good job! I wish I could compose lyrics, but simply singing other peoples lyrics is challenge enough. Thank y...

So much more difficult to do bends on an acoustic as MojoJim and microtech have said. Although I think after three weeks I was probably still struggling at just playing notes! With the normal strings I had on my Tanglewood I would need a bionic hand and fingers to bend the sods. :wall: The situation...

VB - This sounds like your best yet. Your guitar playing sounds a bit more assertive on this song. It may be because of the propulsive percussion of the BT. But it seems to me that you are playing a bit more on the front edge of the beat. I think the languid atmospherics on some of your other songs...

Crikey! Talk about creative juices flowing. Just had a listen and it's great stuff. (Do my ears deceive or do I detect a bit of tasteful reverb on the vocal there?) Only trouble is, you're setting the bar a bit high for the rest of us. Nice one. Ahhh - you spotted the reverb - the secrets out! :shy...

I'm also tempted by the Hagstrom Ultra Swede, after being totally seduced by the Hagstrom sound of VikingBlues's Viking. Unfortunately I haven't been able to try one out, living as I do in a musical backwater, but I would gamble that the ease of playing the very slim neck might compensate for the l...

Hello everyone - it's me again. :wall: There's a desparate rush of creative activity here as the holiday draws to a close and I return to the pit of ordure that is my work on Monday. So I'm feeling a bit out of ordure. :roll: Sorry. So here's a new song. http://soundclick.com/share?songid=9320596 Th...
