Acousti-christmas

[offthewall]

 
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 

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 

I hope ya'all enjoy it.

You have a way with recording/effecting stringed acoustic instruments, Mr. Fraser.

Lovely take on a great classic 
Very interesting to hear all those string instruments playing together 

Just wondering how you did this with only 2 hands, or do you have somewhere a secret hidden band ? 

Great playing James

Well.... you know all about Reaper and it's armoury of built in plugs .... this is one called ReaFingers 

PS - you have a very nice collection of instruments also

Those are just the ones used for this track .... there are a whole bunch more in the other corner

James,

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.
