...I was gonna ask you to put a Bass line in it with BIAB, but I think my timming might be too far off. I;m just a toe tapper, and not that good at keeping good time.
Sounded good though.

Jim - I'm gonna d/l it and try my hand at a bass line a little bit later on. No promises, since I just started playing bass - but I'll see what I can come up with.

Stratrat, cool, go for it, I was fooling with a bass line on guitar. The bridge is the tricky part, but It can be done, march up from C .
like this^means the note is higher than where you are,< means it's lower) B,^C,^C#,^D,^F#,^C,C,<Bb,^B,<G ..and so on.

OK, here's my first try at recording bass. I'm not sure how it sits in the mix - it sounds entirely different when I listen to it through headphones or my computer speakers. It's not bad in the headphones, but kinda boomy through the PC speakers (with a sub).

That adds some nice depth to the piece and it sounds great.
Stratrat, Your Bass sounds great.. Here is the bass line I was working out on Guitar, since I don't have a Bass. If you listen to it, it might give you some ideas to fill in if you are looking for some thing like that.
On guitar it sounds a little thin, but on a big fat bass like you got, yeah.
anyway
I put together Johns Stratrats and Mine into one,
Looking to fit slickcats slide in there but still working on how to edit that, I got audacity today ( had no Idea it was free! thaks eddie)
Jim
Stratrat, no Problem on the Bass you did, Those BIG half notes did the trick. I put my guitar bassline in there to give it that two step sound,(regardless of the time sig)
Jim
Great Job everyone. I like it. Even gets a Greatful Dead studio album feel. That's impressive from being on line and not together. You all could be on one porch together doing it live for all I know. The changes are welcomed and give me a feeling of actually going somewhere.
six strings bangin' on a board, (makes it sound simple)
Thats not an easy one although it's sounds as if it should be. It's tricky to make melody and lead blend which is what these type of songs sound best with .I like this type of music and should ty more to develop this lead style.I remember the days Jim is talking about, Give me another one somebody. johnbullard
That was a cool lead! Kinda reminded me of this a little bit (starts at 1:00 and lasts til 1:40 and then another part at 3:45 to end) I love that stuff!
Download the PDF of the 'Guitar Chord Slide Rule', print it out, fold it together and you'll have at your disposal a very neat tool that will not only show you all the positions for the main flavors of chords, but will also teach you a very important lesson about how the guitar works... It consists of a folded sleeve and six double sided inserts, instructions for cutting it out and folding it together are included with the PDF ... it's very simple to do, and if you botch it, you can simply print it out again!
