I spend a good amount of time playing clean sans delays most days and have been playing a beat-to-shite Goya nylon with a busted bridge that i've detuned in a fun way, right? > > we did meet and i was pretty excited to chat with > you> (although briefly) about what you have been using> and> why you made those choices. i guess there is just a> priority clash with myself and some of the list> members... yeah with the bandage right :) I was playing mainly nothing, my personal weapon of destruction. when a jam reaches a level that my physical playing is not helping then I get to practice and listen to what is possibly losing me. most times, I simply have nothing better to add. I stick to playing what I can, having been a person who went through many effects only to find that I love the sound of certain instruments and have some bent ability to coax some sounds out of same. go with that dude. > > > i'm not sure if I gave you any music, but would > love> > to swap tunes if you'd like. > > i'd be more than happy to swap stuff, but > unfortunately the most current things that i have to > offer are just random jam sessions with friends and > nothing with any real looping...i'd prefer to get > together, sync up some devices and just jam (to me, > that is what it is all really about) or even leave > the> devices at home...but i'm itching to hear some > inspiring looping stuff that can open my ears to > some> new approaches, ideas, and influences. i am in the> process of putting together a project studio so that> i> can have a disc ready to hand out at will...but> again,> up until recently, the extent of my gear acquisition> was a yamaha 4 track and a few useless bass effect> floor boards/stomp boxes (which the only one i still> use is a boss auto-wah ---if you set the sensitivity> at about 1/4 up and everything else all the way> down, > you get a pretty nice envelope filter effect). cool. I would be happy to give you some of my discs, just to give you an idea as to what I. but i'd like to get together and make some real time sound with you also, if you think the fit would fine. I actually have a good amount of time on my hands in the next few weeks, so let's do something soon, eh?! > > just use the gear, Luke. if it sucks and doesn't > > extend your over-all abilities, then question it's > > use. > > i look at as if it sux...learn it better before > forgetting everything you know and just playing. right. it should be that way. but, so many people with some many different ways. oh, well. > > > btw, i'll be doing some type of "entertainment > > music"> > (some type of party) at Chama on Friday if anyone> is > > interested in hearing some sounds. > > > > please email off list if you are interested in > jamming> at any time and give me more info on the chama> gig...if i'm available, i'd love to hear your solo> set...i noticed that you did some really cool things> during the open loop (although a lot of it got lost> in> the ambience of that particular day) sure, ah heck i'm doing this on-list. I think this discussion is and will bear some good fruit. are you with me? thanks for saying so. I have a handle on my instruments to some extent and follow that up with some adventure. but that open was for me, a bit difficult, because I just wanted to listen, so I stopped playing, because I wasn't going to have much to add that could help. > sorry for so many posts in one day, but work is a > bit> slow today.... > e va n > cheers bro, Pedro __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
