BAG's youngster rides again.

BAG · February 18, 2009, 03:41:51 AM

Here's a small part of Sultans of Swing with my 8 year old doing the lead break. As it ended up her first take was one of the best but i then realised that i did it over one of the rhythm tracks so i hit the undo button and started it again assuming she'd pull it off in one hit again. As Murphy's Law kicked in she fluffed a few parts and we had to do some punching in the fix them.

I think she did quite well for a youngster.

(For those that didn't hear her on my first post on this site see here http://microrecorders.org/community/post-your-work/newbie-alert-t1779/0/ )

Much as i like bragging about my daughter's playing

and appreciate the kind words (as does she too) any tips on how to improve my recording would be greatly appreciated. It's all pretty new to me.
I was trying to get more bottom end on the rhythm (acoustic with piezo pickup plugged directly into the BR) but whenever i push the bottom end up on the guitar or the BR i find the sound starts to break up/distort.

So good I still can't believe she is only 8. Has much talent.

Hey, my daughter will be turning 8 in a couple weeks. It's been my dream to teach her to play the guitar, but hasn't happend yet. I bought her a keyboard when she was 5. Thankfully, she seems to be taking to that just recently. I was just amazed to hear your girl playing the way she does! I haven't heard the 1st one yet, but I'm heading over there right now! That is just great! coming from a future Elementary Music teacher!- AWESOME

Oh, you might want to try just micing your acoustic- or use the onboard mic. If you haven't tried that yet, I think you'll be surprised

Also the Breakup/distortion is probably clipping- YOu can keep the fullness of the guitar by turning down the sensitivity and turning up the master....

I do want to do this but as i've said on another thread, getting 5 mins of silence in our house is near impossible.......but i will be trying that whenever i get a chance.

I think i'm going to have to find another teacher for her soon as she tends to respond to others better than her father........typical child!!
