Hi Everyone, Alan here. When I was going through 8 months of chemo last year, I was unable to play guitar at all (no feeling in all but the index finger and thumb of my left hand). My playing is still very limited as only about 60% of the tactile sensation has returned - almost nothing in my little finger. But I'm here to talk about it - so, no complaints. So, I spent countless hours with BIAB creating dozens of instrumentals and backing tracks. I did 12 - 15 for a local high school drama group. If you don't mind, I'm gonna post one every three or four days - or until the current one falls off the first page for a while. Some of my favorites are acoustic interludes and acoustic beds. This one is the first of five acoustics interludes. I played nothing ... it's all BIAB. All I did was plug in a few chords and select the tracks. Thanks in advance. Alan Acoustic Interlude #1: https://soundcloud.com/alananddi/acoustic-interlude-1RealTracks in song: 1814:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking CelticAir Ev 085 RealTracks in song: ~409:Fiddle, Background George Ev 085

Alan,
That is a terrific listen.
I don't recall anyone ever doing one like that. Nice choice of tracks. Folks often overlook the fact that many of the "background" RTs can be used for nice, melodic leads.
I would think you could place this in a "library" - even break out pieces for shorter cues... if you wanted to spend the time that requires (to make 5 cents... a tough way to make a living, but ya get bragging rights...)
Really enjoyed that.

I agree, that would make a great "library" tune. There's a fellow over at another board who has placed hundreds in well know TV and film productions.
Very nice.

Hi Floyd,
I'm more than delighted you enjoyed this. I've had very little experience with music libraries. The issue I've had with them is when you sign up with them, you have to allow them, or one of their customers, to rename the song without your permission, nor are they obligated to inform you that the name has been changed or what the new title is. And when they pay you your "royalties", they do not inform you from whom the money was collected.
Perhaps you've had better experiences. If so, I'd love to hear about it,
Also, I could send the tracks out as stems - that way they could edit them for length and placement as needed.
Take care,
ALan

Janice and Bud,
Thanks for the listen and I'm very pleased you liked it! I think you're referring to John Lawrence Schick over at JPF. I've know him for about 10 years. I was very active over there for many years - over 10,000 posts - a top ten poster out of 50,000. Woo-Hoo! But, that won't even buy a cup of coffee, or in my case, a can of Dr Pepper! (Don't drink coffee at all).
He's an excellent pianist and super nice guy. It would be nice to make ten or fifteen bucks here and there!
I mentioned to Floyd, in my reply to him, why I've shied away from music libraries. Perhaps I just happened to look at the wrong ones. And, maybe things have changed - it';s been several years.
Thanks again! You two are much too kind!
Alan

I can certainly see (hear) this used as accompaniment for a scene, and will remember this from you.
