    My First Songs

    Well, they're not quite songs - more like structured doodling. One is a rip of Pink Floyd Breathe, and the other is just the first thing I thought of when I pressed record. :thwap Mic: Aiwa DMH-200 Guitars: Taylor 310, Epiphone PR325S SW: Audacity (Linux) 3rd Mix Second Audacity Song

    Lifeson

    There's a great doc called 'Beyond the Lighted Stage' It's the best Rush docu out there. Includes bios of all the guys. Great stuff.

    Chicago

    Wow, I never thought of those later albums as anything more than 'retirement padding' by it's surviving members. You've made me reconsider my dismissal. I agree with you about those early albums though. I also used to sneak into my brother's room and listen to them on the quad system! I wonder...

    Tips on Playing in Time

    Usually backing tracks are free use as far as I know, but yeah, I only use them for practice. Another fun use though is collaboration. We've done a few here actually, where someone creates (or finds) a nice long backer and we all have a go at playing lead over it. Yes, that sounds cool. I...

    Hi from a new Taylor owner

    Glacies, I will take you up on your suggestion. I got through with the PR325 project today. Put on new (generic, off Amazon) tuning pegs, a set of Martin SP lights, and cleaned and polished it up as well as I could (It's 20 years old, and never saw the inside of a case). FWIW, here is the guitar...

    Tips on Playing in Time

    Thanks everyone for your great suggestions. I will look up some backing tracks on the net. Who knew?! Are these 'free use,' or just for practice purposes? Anyway, it's more rewarding to work out your own backing tracks, I think.

    Tips on Playing in Time

    Wow, that's awesome. I have to look up that thing. It sounds great. I also discovered 'click tracks!' That enabled me to at least get a handle on the timing. I even made something that sounds like a song. I am so stoked about audacity. :dance Thanks a lot for the info. Right now I'm SOOC (no...

    Tips on Playing in Time

    Hey guys, I just installed audacity into my laptop, and started experimenting with recording. It's a lot of fun, and interesting, but I seem to have a problem keeping the individual tracks in the same time signature. Each track is either behind or in front of the others. I am listening to the...

    Hi from a new Taylor owner

    Hi, all. I recently added a 310ce to my only other guitar, an Epiphone PR325S that I have been abusing (both physically and musically) the past 20 years. Now I am learning how to play a 'good' guitar, and man, what a difference a good 'player' makes. The 310 is just musical all by itself, and it...
