sounds like good advice.
I always tap my feet and do get the noise from the floor picked up because I do it aggressively…it doesn’t ruin the recording but it does get picked up.
It’s a good thing to do to help the individual play in time…of course if you can play in time by listening to the band then even better.
It is a hard habit to break. I…[Read more] -

well, King Curtis used what he had in his time which was the wah-wah pedal which of course was made for electric guitar.

yes I do…it’s more of a “morant” than a grace note but I think you get the drift

ya right on…you’re doing it right. I also discovered that a long time ago; when we play a tune from memory it sounds better than reading off the sheet. I would say, we don’t really know a tune until it’s memorized. I still need to read some while recording a video because I simply didn’t have enough time and need to get them out. But when…[Read more]

yes, I can do either. If you decide to go for another song let me know which one and I’ll get it to you. If you prefer a refund I can do that as well.

“You are still showing Pay Pal symbol at the bottom of each song purchase you click on, thats what fooled me John.”
do you mean after you have purchased it? I don’t actually go thru that process so I’m not sure what you are seeing.
But what I meant was the Paypal link is not showing at the cart/checkout stage…please let me know where you are…[Read more] -

I’m not familiar with the Boss product you have but it’s all in the transferring / downloading / rendering stage.
My recording program used the term “rendering” and then has many options for what you want your audio to end up as when you take it from that DAW or program you use.
Just keep in mind that when you convert an mp3 to a WAV file you…[Read more] -

right. I am trying to do less with paypal as we found better options and many have complained or refuse to use them. Not all of course and it is very convenient for some.
So I take it you have money in you paypal account and prefer to use that instead of a credit card?
If you are using a credit card then Paypal is not needed. -

john replied to the topic Q about learning songs from memory in the forum General Questions 1 year, 10 months ago
yes it gets easier the more you do it.
important to know and understand the key you’re in. This will make it more of a guarantee that at least the notes you’re going for are ones that are actually in the song.
when composers write melodies they use the main notes in the scale almost all the time. You can prove this to yourself by just looking at…[Read more] -

solid information.
un fortunately many students won’t have the patience to put in the time, they just look for a magic finger position and when it does’t produce that high note they give up….congrats sx! -

yup, I’ve had the problem of going thru my mp’s cause of my exremely hard bite (according to my dentist).
patches never worked as they wore out in hours. Even as they were still whole it felt very weird and uncomfortable so I agree. But there are many who get used to them I guess. -
