Greetings!
Posted January 4, 2008
Well, its the New Year and I've decided that I'd like to start playing with other musicians or start a band. I really feel like the only way I'm going to get better is to do so. I've also found that recording is a good way to improve as well so I will use this site to upload some songs and jams that I've done in my "man room". Right now the recordings are a bit rough since I don't have the equipment I need to achieve better sound quality. All songs were recorded with a Sony Condenser ECM-DS70P mic and a Sony MiniDisc MZ-R700. Software used to convert to mp3 was Cool Edit 2.0. I'll also use the site to post some of the photographs I've taken and some pics of some of my favorite musicians. Now for the details on the recordings.
Feel Like Goin' Home
I recorded this one in the bathroom at my old apartment. This was the first and only take and I thought it came out pretty good considering the equipment. I actually performed this song last summer for Capital City Opera's "Songs of the South" performed at Callanwolde Fine Arts Center here in Atlanta.
Gimmie Gimmie Blues
This is a backing track provided a fellow member at tdpr.com. Its a great blues track with just drums and upright bass. I had played through the track only once previously and this was second run through but the only recording. Here are the details.
Guitar: Epiphone Casino [Neck Pickup]
Effects: Fulltone OCD [Vol. 8:50, Tone 12:00, Drive 8:00, LP mode]
Amp: Epiphone Valve Jr Head [Vol. 12:00]
Cab: 2x10 Hartke bass cab loaded with Eminence Ramods
Thanks for checking out the site and your comments are welcome.
