    Swing by 50/90, if you weren't already planning to? I am going to get brave, and use that guitar often enough to post a bit of strumming for those boards!

  • @elainedimasi  Mar 2022

    Yes! I am already, a little bit, following your path on letting a flesh and blood guitar liven up the grid. It's great to be encouraged to do more :-)

  • @elainedimasi  Mar 2022

    Thank you for that forum shout-out, I really appreciated that! And congrats on the win. These farting around years absolutely count - I am certainly counting all of mine! Will catch the rest of your board before the week is out. Cool to have been chatting this year and come to know you and your stuff a little.

    Hey Alastair! Thanks so much for adding bass to my "Valentine" song.

    Here's the latest mix (bass comes in after first verse)

    Shout if you'd like anything tweaking.

    Thanks again for the collab.

    I smoked a cigar one time. Threw up everywhere because I thought I had to inhale. I've learned my lesson. Havana Cuban cigars are to be slowly savored and smelled.

    Improvised guitar playing like that is incredibly impressive no matter how many "takes". I also thoroughly enjoyed the piano. I liked your comment in the Discord thread, btw. No online presence--respect!

    Looking forward to Latin recommendations if you think of any...

  • @katestantonsings  Feb 2022

    Was that you playing the guitar? DAMN GOOD!! Definitely revisit that song if it's not finished. It's got great energy. I've been trying to listen to more Latin music. Any recommendations for sounds like that?

  • @altum Feb 2022

    Seems we were both listening to each others tracks at the exact same moment! Weeeeird.

    Thanks! Re: Game Theory, this is a good place to start since there's not much of them on youtube or anything else I know of:

    Pandora Radio served them up to me. in recent times. Tom met them in person back in the day - maybe opened for them iirc

  • @nadine Feb 2022

    Thanks for listening to the blues draft. Haha I haven't thought about game music. I just liked the theme cayse it's happy a quirky and was stuck...

    Thanks! Should’ve labeled “Carly” as shoegaze lite.

    Re: speaker comparisons, absolutely. I spent hours last night reading ten year old forum threads like "What setup can I use to make my RIckenbacker jangle" (responses like "So, the jangle is supplied with the guitar, learn to play..."). After clicking on too many high end speaker pages, I went to Craigslist and found an $80 used V110NT to plug the Valve Jr into and maybe learn to play and not feel entirely like a dilettante with more money than sense.

    Saw your recorder post and just wanted to say not to worry too much haha. I have a xylophone and am also a guitarist.

  • @elainedimasi  Jan 2022

    Saw your post about the "recorder" "avatar" - LOL, I agree - and I actually used to play it! So here now is a yellow one also posted helpfully on your soundboard :-)
