Title: Acousti-christmas Post by: offthewall on December 16, 2009, 10:28:07 PM 8)
Well ..... I haven't contributed much lately ::) Apart from not having too much available time I have also had some nasty flare-ups of the arthritis particularly in my right hand .... not too good for an instrumentalist :-X So, I finally got myself motivated to put together an 'Acousti-christmas' thing. We have two acoustic guitars, acoustic fretless bass, bouzouki and dobro .... these guys all got together after the bar closed to have a country jam on Silent Night 8) I hope ya'all enjoy it. ;D ;) James Title: Re: Acousti-christmas Post by: offthewall on December 16, 2009, 10:31:03 PM 8)

Very interesting to hear all those string instruments playing together 8) Just wondering how you did this with only 2 hands, or do you have somewhere a secret hidden band ? ::) ;D Great playing James :; k Title: Re: Acousti-christmas Post by: MarioD on December 17, 2009, 12:03:35 PM Thanks James, this is beautiful..Lovely as it is timely. :D You have a way with recording/effecting stringed acoustic instruments, Mr. Fraser.

At the risk of being a nit-picky pain in the ass and in as much as I've enjoyed this,I would have preferred some occasional pitch bends to smooth out some of the transitions from one note to another...but this did not stop me from thoroughly getting the X-Mas spirit out of it,as I found your rendition to be very unique & very soothing. :D -Thom |
