PeteM Heya Pete, would be great to have you enter again!

PeteM

It's all about time V8... very busy teaching guitar and vocals to my 32 kids, writing and arranging songs for my two bands SAGE and Misty Mountain Band and gigging with them. A seriously full life for a 72 year old. I love it! I'll see what I can do with the competition.

V8

PeteM Whoa...send me what you have for breakfast, incredible! Keep it rockin' Pete!

Can I ask question here regarding the chords and how to press the etc.... ?

RodneyVikens

Please explain to me how this works:

How do I press these Chords?

How do I apply them?

When do I use the "inversion" ?

Nevermind. I found this:

RodneyVikens

Are we supposed to combine #1 & #2?

The 3 major chords into the minor C 12 bar jazz which I am currently learning at 30 bpm? ?

V8

RodneyVikens Are we supposed to combine #1 & #2?

It was meant as a either or scenario - though #2 was meant as a 'joke' for @domhatch who wanted something 'hectic'...so I dug out the 'finger twister' for him.

Honestly didn't think anyone was reaallly gonna attempt it. FWIW, a few brave souls are trying it - though I'm not sure how much they like me at the moment. ?

RodneyVikens

V8 and here I was preparing 6 hours a day, waking up at 3 in the morning. ?

V8

RodneyVikens Grin, I have tried learning this finger twister twice before - 3am is cruel and unusual punishment - beyond some of these inversions (I hate the first chord of bar 9 - the Ab7 inversion).

But then again, I'm from Cpt, so if it's before 10am it's far too early. If it's not wednesday I ain't interested. If it is wednesday, I'm far too busy. ?

It is not possible to move the end date a week later? Work got hell busy this week, but I will try record something tomorrow..... Eish... Might not make it.

V8

RodneyVikens @klassvakie was also keen on a extra week. Cool, we'll now aim at 18th August, 23:59PM

RodneyVikens

V8 I found some free time tonight to do a recording. Week is going to be crazy so here goes. I am not sure how to record or master so it sounds good or "fuller". Haven't done any EQ on it. If someone would like the individual tracks to properly mix let me know. =) Sorry but I didn't do the 12-bar jazz chords, it's above my skill level for now but I will keep on practicing.

V8 welllllll... this is an interesting development... hehe. Mayhap I can scratch something out!

RodneyVikens

studmissile

RodneyVikens I like that. What's the ambient effect near the end in the background? Sounds like a choir chant, is that the ambience plugin?

RodneyVikens

studmissile lol, it is my voice and then I added massive amount of ambience.

V8

warrenpridgeon Do ittttt!
