Re: Who has had the opportunity to meet and mingle with famous musicians? (27 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
well the timing on this post is coincidental. I flew out of Houston intercontinental air port ( sorry i am old school George H bush IAH now )on the fourth to go work and while I was checking in I noticed a guy standing off to the side and said to my self that is dusty hill from zz top. he disappeared before I could get my phone out and get a picture. well two hours later who is sitting two rows in front of me ? ZZ top. they had them in a special section in front of business class with a curtain closed once we were airborne so I never got the opportunity to get a picture and I am not the type to bug some one for an autograph but it was pretty cool sitting that close to a group I have listening to since I was a kid. I guess they have a persona to keep up never saw them the whole flight with out the cheap sun glasses on. they had their roadies with them they were in business class with the regular folks

I really enjoyed both versions of your song Mojo ..... both had my attention, both were great listening. I think the studio one was more professional on the recording side and I think you played it without the capo on the 3rd fret? where as the original you played it with the capo on? I think the original was still good though as you have a natural talent anyway. Hard to choose between the two songs which i preferred as they were both good. I guess if it boiled down to it, the recorded version would be better listening on the radio for the sound quality but as I said tough choice as i like both versions.
I went back and listened to both and you are correct I did play it with a capo on the third fret on the first one, I some times forget to make notes on things like that and forget. now you have wondering what it would have sounded like in the studio on the third fret.

well here is the first from my trip to the studio. curious to hear from every one opinions on the difference in the two recordings. Questions I ask myself, was it worth the time and money?

( jury still out on that one)I am heading off to work tomorrow and will post the other songs I recorded in a few days. looking forward to HONEST opinions and input.

Sorry to hear about the annoyance, Bill ...
Do you use a tuner (to keep from tuning too high)? These little clip-on doo-hickies are cheap and work surprisingly well. It'll help you prevent over-tightening, if that's the main source of the breakage.

sitting in a dark house with the power out playing around with the guitar and thinking about last weekends annual trip to the river with my old friends and well this is the result.
PS I picked up the CD I made today but realized I don't have a CD player on my lap top anymore so I am having the files emailed to me as soon as get them I post on sound cloud. until then have a listen to this one hope you like it

Topic: recording (6 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
well I finally went into the recording studio this week for the first time . I go to pick up my CD tomorrow. it was an interesting experience. a couple of the songs I felt like I nailed them on the first try and a couple took a few tries and probably could have done better on but time and money, well I was ok with how they turned out.
as a side note I can now say I have recorded in the same studio as Willie Nelson and Chris Kristofferson it was pretty cool hearing from Dana the guy that owns the place telling the stories about Willie and Chris when they were recording there.
I will try to get them up on sound cloud in a few days

as for me I don't know if it is wrong or right but there are artist I will change the channel on and a few I make sure I don't spend a penny on there music, even though I may play one of their tunes on occasion. liking there music and giving them my money are two different things in my book any way

Here's my go at The Weight.
I was going to record Wish You Were Here last month but MOJO1 nailed it so well that I decided to let it slide.
I'm going to pass on Jack And Diane...can't fit any harp into it, so far.
good job on the weight, lol but that is a lame excuse for not doing wish you were here
