I play through the Nu-x more than anything else at the moment. It sits on an end table next to my couch.
I live in an apartment and haven't played in a band in almost a decade (with no intention of doing it again) so I don't have a need for anything more powerful than a few watts. I also haven't picked up a guitar more than a few times a month in almost as long, so i'm probably going to wind up getting rid of most of it.

No worries man. It actually worked out better for me because the Tapatalk app doesn't show any comments.

Here's the track by itself:

Araphel what do you play now?

[ghilliesuit]

Rainmaker Well that's up to you if you want to record it again. You were hanging with the melody (well my attempt at melody haha) quite well. Plus right now I am just trying to glue this together into a song demo that I will use to then record as a whole idea. That way it will be recorded performances instead of copy and pasted cuts once its done.

Meant to comment ... but posted. Oh well.

[Rainmaker]

ha- i'd probably want to re-record it. it was a spur of the moment. But yeah, definitely if you want it!

Wow that ukulele sounds perfect. The Shimmer on the notes is great. I may need to get that isolated track from you lol

[Rainmaker]

Added a little to your previous one... Uke with reverb and distortion sounds pretty slick.

well it's not perfect. And I have overlapping parts but this is the general concept I am going with. Time to pull out the tracks and start adding drums at so I can shape the song more before doing more strings.

Rainmaker it sounds great. Very clean, but the top end is nice and tame. I appreciate it. Hard to write music solo because it's all internal... there is no collaborative process like when I had my band as a kid. So it's actually nice to hear something set to the track without any input from me.

[Rainmaker]

Haha, your track sparked a thought. The cleaner sound of the riff gave me a whistl-y vibe. I just used a headset mic and BandLab

[ghilliesuit]

I was not expecting to here my track when it loaded haha. Very freaking cool. You record that with a mic?

Noodle B Phrygian and it should sound pretty damn tight. C over E followed by E over B. That's pretty much it. The runs are C B G F# OR A B E(bend up .5 and release)

Alright, switched some stuff to clean because it's easier to write (for me) that way. I think I got the foundation of riff 2. Maybe lol

My tin whistle got bent by my kids the other day so the sound is terrible, but you get the idea

[ghilliesuit]

Rainmaker well you have a great natural flow with the ukelele. Very cool..
