Then, I load the midi file into either Cakewalk or another very simple (and free) midi sequencing program and transpose the whole thing to the key in which the song should be played. Then, I add an audio track playing the guitar. Save it as a .wav file and load it into "Audacity", (another free audio manipulation program) for final editing, balance and any effects I might want, then save as an Mp3 and burn to a CD. Lots of fun and keeps me off the streets. Eisboch I have been reading this amusing thread this morning and something came to mind.

Let me know what you think of it after you've listened to it a few times. Clapton's lead guitar guest spot is pretty amazing. At the beginning of the song, he's sort of in the background, barely noticeable. But then a simmer eventually becomes a boil and by the end of the song he simply owns it. I haven't heard him play such smokin' guitar in a studio recording in many years. Winwood is in very fine form and the songwriting is very good. |

Jean-Luc Ponty was a master at it. I'll see if I can round up (round, get

Nope. I also call BS. Oh, and there was no synthesizer. It was a sequencer. All the sequencer does is record and playback a loop of what is fed into it. The only thing the carrot was in tune with was itself. Question answered - it would be. I need to read up more on sequencers. Re-watch the video. At 1:31, the sequencer is turned on. At 2:58 it is turned off. Listen close and you can actually hear him step on the foot switch at 2:58. It's a sophisticated echo chamber. Do you remember as kids we used to sing rounds in music class (Row, Row, Row Your Boat)? It's exactly the same concept, except it is done solo. You lay down a basic foundation, recording and playing it back in real time. Then you build on the theme. Jean-Luc Ponty was a master at it. I'll see if I can round up (round, get it?) an example of an early Ponty recording from my collection and send you an mp3. I'm familir with Ponty's music - he's in that weirdo category "New Wave" kind of thing that I really enjoy. Never knew the technical details though. Interesting. |

Quite a guy. He acknowledges that he is more of an inventor than a musician. Still around, too and occasionally plays gigs with local bands. 93 years old. He's also the reason a Gibson Les Paul Standard is so damn heavy. He insisted on it for acoustical purposes, because the first solid body guitar he built was from a used railroad tie or something. When the first recordings were released using sound on sound, it took the industry by storm. It sounded like there were three Mary Fords singing together and nobody could figure out how it was done. A couple of months ago, I saw a documentary on Les Paul and Ampeg, which eventually came around to his way of looking at recording technically, didn't believe it would be possible to do over dubbing and multiple tracks on reel-to-reel equipment. Not that it means anything - just thought that was interesting side bar to the whole story. |

I'm familir with Ponty's music - he's in that weirdo category "New Wave" kind of thing that I really enjoy. I've never heard him referred to as "New Wave". Usually considered Fusion or Progressive Jazz. Before going solo, his resume included long-standing gigs with The Mahavishnu Orchestra and Frank Zappa. But he certainly does have his ethereal moods. In fact, a song title of his is "Ethereal Mood". |

Quite a guy. If you ever have the opportunity, there is a pretty good movie about Les Paul called "Chasing Sound". Netflix has it. My favorite moment in the whole movie is when he opens an old guitar case on his bed, and there is... Django Reinhardts guitar! WOW! You know - Django Reinhardt is a name most people don't recognise. Same with Stephen Grappelli (sp?)... :) Yeah, most people. For those who don't know, Django Reinhardt was a young French gypsy guitarist who was starting to make a name for himself when he was badly burned in a fire in his gypsy trailer that was filled with paper flowers. Gypsy's don't have access to doctors. His left hand was reduced to a lobster like claw, with fingers fused together. He had essentially two clumsy "fingers"when it was all over. He could no longer play chords, which was all guitars were used for (rhythm accompaniment) back then. Rather than give up, Django came up with a whole new style of playing, which is mostly arpeggios, or playing the notes of chords individually rather than all at once. His style was so distinct that they started letting him do guitar solos in the middle of Jazz numbers. He INVENTED lead guitar, and changed the background instrument's role forever. It's hard to find a serious guitarist who doesn't think of Django Reinhardt as the father of modern guitar as we know it. Never knew that. Thanks, it was interesting. Eisboch |

Used to have a tenor sax that I played around with. Finally taught myself the scale and "The Saints". Gave it up though because the vibration of the reed drove me nuts. Come to think of it, I have an alto sax in the closet. Haven't even tried it. Never will either. Eisboch Tenor is actually a little easier to play. |
