Daryl, Sandy, Craig, Ness, Kev, Chris, Tom, Bob and Bart,
Thanks everyone for being so sweet and supportive, so encouraging. That’s one of the many things I love about sharing stuff on TG. I also love that you all know what’s involved in learning a song, singing it, recording it and posting it; and the challenges involved in each of those steps.
I tried to record this on the weekend and ended up with a couple of incomplete takes spoiled by dogs barking. Yesterday I had about ... 30 min... maybe a little more to record, edit the video and post. I was tempted to wait for another day when I could try again to get a better take, but I thought it was going to be a little while. So I decided to put my pride aside and post an imperfect video. This is a learning site after all.
Daryl - thanks - I’m using an iMic, USB into GarageBand. Now that I’ve got a mic stand it’s much easier to position it so I’m getting fairly reasonable sound. In truth, I wasn’t happy with the balance, a bit too much voice, but it was good enough for a WIP video.
Ness - thank you... I do think nerves is a huge part of it. But yes I need to iron out a few kinks too and slow those right down while practicing. Right?!? D/F# - yep you’re right of course. I think you’ve pointed that one out before, or a similar shape. I’ll go back and work it again.
. Actually, it may have been simply D, which I guess is same, same. But, to D drill boot camp with me. I’ll start this afternoon. ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
Thanks again. I’ll post again a little while from now when I have it in a little better shape and I’ve managed to ... reeeeellaaaaaaaaax a little more in front of the camera.![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
