Trashed my original idea cause i just cant get it sounding the way it sounds in my head. I have not put nearly enough practice time into this.
Started with a new idea yesterday but soon as i start recording, the wheels come off. Why is that??
Ooooii.

    Once that red light starts a' flashing...T'is a bonus of the challenges, it's great 'pressure' to test your skills.

    More forgiving than a live crowd (though the audience in our collective heads is another story)

    I dig the reminder when you see your mates/heroes just consistently play amazing - just how much work that took.

    Hey Wern 101, that happens to me a lot and I’ve noticed that when I spend too much time trying too hard to get what I want recording the idea I have in my head I get nothing that fits, taking some time off from recording and the idea all together and doing something else for a while helps me to refresh my brain and give it another go at it later.

    I’m also stuck with my track, the problem I have is recording my acoustic guitar with the condenser mic. Its so sensitive to sounds around me, picking up birds, dogs and voices. I must wait until its quiet enough to do it and
    if I’m lucky I will enter my track or a piece of it late tonight.
    Good luck to all.

      Click your heels and take a journey down the yellow brick road.

      My solo (Chord/Melody) arrangement of Over The Rainbow on 7 string acoustic. A rush recording this morning, so warts and all.

      Yeti Nice one Yeti!. That's my wife's kinda vibe... I'll be sure to play it for her

        Thanks Jazzman105 . I almost didn't post it after I heard yours. ? I've got a lot of practice ahead before I can play like that.

        And here is my entry. Trashed everything I tried to do and I decided to enter a song I recorded eons ago. Myself and 3 of the other forum members are currently collaborating on this, hoping to turn it into something grand...

        Lots of mistakes and recording issues. Recorded with Stagelight mobile app and tried to clean it up in Reaper. Feedback Welcome.

        Gooolllyyyy, all these early bird entries - well done all!!!

        I'm way behind it seems - nothing new ?

          wern101 I wasn't planning on listening to the whole tune. It seemed long... But then I did cos it drew me in and was easy on the ear. I ended up harmonising with ?

          Nice message!

          Had to sneak this recording in from the guest bedroom while the rest of the house was asleep. A couple of misses, but my camera battery died before I could do another take. The backing track and the arrangement from Yousician.

          Just listened to all the other entries ---- I think if I heard them first I would've been too skaam to submit ---- that was some smoooth stuff my dudes. Wow. Well done.

          wern101 . Dis nie sleg nie, klink soos n song uit die hart. Dit laat my dink aan n ou band member se jongste broer wat ook hou van om iets original uit die hart te skryf en compose.

          Hey guys, I didn’t enter, I was too late.
          I like most of the entries and it made me feel like I did more then I need to with my track.
          I’ve learned a lot and I thank You all.
          If you really would like to hear what I’ve composed, I will upload a piece of my track on SOUNDCLOUD.

          Great work all!!! I'll have the voting thread up shortly ?

          I fell asleep during the Brazilian GP with guitar next to me - was supposed to be a power nap.,..powered straight into monday unfortunately ?

          V8 powered straight into monday

          Alllll righty!

          Voting threads are up - split into two groups. Alas, I had to split into two threads - polls don't allow two votes/person...

          Group 1 for the heavyweights (Jazzman105, EltonGoslett & Studmissile) - check it out here

          Group 2 for us mere mortals ? (Yeti, Wern101, Klaasvakie) - check it out here

          Well done & thank you everyone for entering - high five's all round!
