Be gentle ! I have practicing PT for about a year. Prior to that, nothing but open chord strumming and flat picking.

Thanks!

Hmmm... file didn't upload.

mjwjr · #3 February 18th, 2006

try again

It seems file will not up load. It says Invalid File. It is a 4.3M wav file.

Will this work ?

Thanks,

Good first attempt. You just need some more confidence in your playing. Shame the take was so short. You seemed to be hitting your stride around the 35 second mark.

Thanks AT. Yes its crude but my goal today was to just try and get something on the boards. My first taste of recording and I like it. Long way to go though, it looks like the recording side of things is going to be as difficult as guitar playing.

Here is another take ... lots of room for improvement

Nice one, mjwjr ... keep working away at it, recording, listening back, fine-tuning ... that's what it's all about. Keep posting them here, too; there's nothing like constructive feedback to keep you on the right track.

I really enjoyed your second upload, it sounded very nice. It just seemed to have a better flow to it than the first one. Good job!

Good effort bro...!!! The second one did seem to flow better... One of the toughest
things in music is timing, something I think every one struggles with... One thing that
helped me immensely is practicing with a metronome, it keeps things focused on an outside
time source, rather than our internal ticker, which in most cases is much less accurate...

Here is a utility I found most useful... It incorporates a guitar tuner, metronome,
chord chart and most common scales... It's not very fancy but it does the job...!!!

Guitools.exe

It needs no installation just download it and have fun...!!!

Cheers...

Just note and listen critically to yourself and try to improve on the weaker spots.

Thanks .. the guitool metronome is nice and really helped keep the rythm steady. That will work well.

Here is another with the help of my 5 year old, Nick.

Thanks for the feedback.
