Hopped a bit

Post by 12bar »

In order to refresh my playing, I practiced a bit to the uptempo "Hopped up Blues" in D. Some repetitive licks, nothing special, several glitches, but a fun to play without thinking too much. Sheraton and strat mixed through Toneport GX. Fighting with delay/timing and volume, that Win7 and Gearbox. So only 2 minutes were recorded. Anyway:

Sweet! :clap:
It's good to hear from you again. :big_smile: I particularly like guitar 2 in this piece. Is that the Strat?

Good note choices though and beautifully played - bends, vibrato and phrasing all working well.

Glad you won the fight - the end result has no hints to my ears of the struggle you had. :thumbsup:

The contrasting sounds of the two guitars came through well - good work by you to stop the software taking over and imposing too much of its own sound! Both guitars sounded good and I'm guessing Sheraton first and Strat second in the running order. If it is that order I would say I partcularly enjoyed the sound you got from the Sheraton - nice airy sustain whichever guitar it was.

It's a great shame you have this battle with the equipment on recordings. :wall:

Thanks, folks! Yes, the second one is my good old strat. Both are clipping a bit, I still can't control the toneport volume through windows. :wall:

Now there are still several things on my todo list - I have to look for them. The album thing also isn't dead, there a re enough great uploads to fill it. I thing we need a monster collab with our members from all over the world!

Can certainly pick the difference between the 2 Gtrs, the Strat certainly stands out (not that the Sheraton doesn't sound good)
