Yo

For about last three months I have had a pinched nerve that caused my fretting hand's little finger to go numb and totally useless. Thus my guitar playing has been to a bare minimum. It just started to get better so I played this jam. I wasn't going to post it but a couple of friends said that I should so here is that jam.

BiaB style = Visions1 - Dreamy New Age

I deleted the bass and drums.
I kept the piano, changed the guitar to bells and the string I modified to better fit the song.
The drums are from Groove Monkee MIDI loops and also modified.
I am playing the guitar and fretless bass.

I hope you like it for what it is.

Yo Mario,

Sounding pretty danged good to me! As you know, I, too,have left hand issues. Focal Dystonia is a nightmare for musicians and authors (I also write novels, so my puter keyboard gets a real workout).

A nice arrangement and selection of tracks. That was a real pleasure to listen to. Glad you listened to your friends! Very nice, indeed! Wishing you the best with thand and all else.

Alan

Sorry to hear about that, Mario.
I also experienced this on one of my fingers a long time ago.
I'm afraid you have to take some time off, but something tells me, you are probably not going to do that wink (neither did I back then) and eventually it disappeared.

This track however is rather soothing laugh

Great work on this, Mario smile Sorry to hear about your hands - hopefully you've have full functionality again soon! I really liked the arrangement on this, the song has a really nice flow to it.

Great job, and thanks for sharing!


Cheers,

Yo Alan,

Sorry to hear about your hand problems, they make mine seem minor.

Thanx for listening and yes the hand is getting much better. At least I can now play some guitar.

Thanx Rob. I did take about 3 months off of serious playing. I could use my other three fingers but it was different. I didn't play much as I didn't want to get into any bad habits. How in hell did Jean "Django" Reinhardt do it!

Thanx for listening.

Thanx Deryk. I have about 95% back and I should be to 100% in a few days, I hope.

Thanx for listening.

Sweet tone and good looking too!

It is the expression that matters. And this has plenty of that!

A good listen. Cool music.

Thanx Torrey.

It isn't often that you hear a non-distorted guitar on the radio anymore. A lot of the time I like a clean clear guitar tone.

Sounds good, Mario! It seems several of us "old folks" around here have had some problems with our hands lately. While I am not nearly as old as you, smile I have had some issues with my hands as well. As you get more feeling and strength, keep doing what you can do. Your music is a gift, not only to you, but to all of us here who care about you.

Keep it up, young man!

Interesting music Mario!! It has sort of a hallucinogenic merry-go-round quality. Very trippy. Love the feel of the guitar on this. Is the nerve issue from the neck, the elbow, or elsewhere? Hopefully you will continue to recover fully ASAP. THanks for posting!! Take care. Greg

Glad you are mo betta! I knowt anything like that puts a serious dent in a musician's life. I've reached the age where I ache in places I didn't know I had places smile

We like the jam and the ethereal feel of it. There is a Garcia aura to the playing but it has your stamp all over it -- a good thing.

Oh, the drums are outstanding!

Nice...

Very good as usual.

Mario, I hate to hear of your hand problems. I have had some problems, but so far they come and go. I just finished a tune that I had been working on a guitar solo for, but tonight it just wasn't, there so I just routed around it. Sometimes I just have to let it go. Looks to me like you managed to work around yours quite well. Hope things work out for you. Nice job. BTW I think I heard a trace of deadhead in there as well.

Wow Mario, I really like the sound you've captured here.

The musical blend works extremely well.

There's a lot of interesting things happening right throughout this song.

A good listen for sure.

Mario,

Once more you lead the listening along the the road of musical invention. Whenever I see a thread of yours in the forum, I know that I'm going to be hearing something good. I enjoyed this smile

All the best,

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
