Boozins Thread Of Musical Garbage
 

So ive been messing around with recording stuff a little bit the last few days. Never recorded any of my own stuff but I have written plenty of songs through the years. Thanks to some fellow members who showed me how to use some software now I can start laying down some of my own tracks. For those who dont know ive played guitar since I was a teenager but was happy being only able to form enough chords to get me through the simplistic style of melodies and chord structure I conjurred up. I could always figure something out by ear as far as picking lead but my knowledge of different chords was not very broad. About 6 months ago I learned my first bar chord...yes I know "LAME"...just never wanted to take that step to learn it. Usually if a song required bar chords and I wanted to learn it, I'd just use my capo or simply not play it. A big problem being a Hendrix and Srv fan all these years. Anyway so ive progressed some and expanded my knowledge a lil and been tampering with finally being able to play my favorite artists songs. So ill post some covers from time to time just in case there are any others with a passion for the artists I cover and my own music as well.


Acoustic "Little Wing" Intro by Bloozswagger on SoundCloud - Create, record and share your sounds for free

Also im touching up a cover of "Little Wing" I did with vocals and and some lead guitar work to. Im still trying to figure out how to combine the tracks without all the buzzing and noise. This is all being done on my ****ty computer mic and my patience gets worn easily so pardon the hiccups in my play and poor sound quality. Also all the playing im doing will be on my acoustic because im poor and cant afford an electric :( ...though I would love to have a strat one day..im taking donations.....
*not really*-just joking...thats not soliciting for money dont get the wrong idea

Ok im tired of messing with the audio and im never satisfied with the final take. Ive redone my lead solo countless times and the best sound I could get was only if I muted the track and then attempted to play the lead just keeping time in my head. Which some what worked but I kept either finishing up short or...meh I just didnt like it so I sacraficed a lil on the buzzing to keep the timing right. Again all this is new to me except the playing and singing but as far as the recording and tweeking gadgets im a noobsta. Anyway heres what I ended up with and maybe you can suffer through till the end thanks.

Man, you've got a great voice!
Digging your stuff!!

If you ever need a little help or advice on the recording/mixing side of things, let me know.

At last! This version is great. I like how on this one you added the echo on the specific parts.

Do you think you could send me a copy with just the backing and vocals so i could try playing my own solo over it?

Really? Appreciate it man I may take you up on that
Sure no problem man, and thanks for the compliment

I have to agree with everyone else, very good! The echoing effect made it seem very surreal. I look forward to any future posts.

Simply beautiful! Treated with the respect the song deserves. Jimi would be proud.

Again many thanks to everyone and I appreciate your input. Im thinking of what I want to do next, but cant make up my mind but ill be sure an post if I think its tolerable.

You played very well, and the vocals fit in very well. What kind of guitar was it played on?

Thanks man, its an Ibanez...it needs new thicker strings on it cause im not gettin much sustain(extra lights) but other than that im happy with it. You like to play guitar?
