Hello All...I'm going to try this for the first time here...

What you hear is BB and the guitar is a patch played by me on the Yamaha Motif keyboard.

Please enjoy!

Thanks Tommy...thanks Sundance...and thank you Steve...

Just giving this thing a whirlie-woo-who.

(I'm so ashamed, I should be doing much more...and much better)...

You know, this whole "audio" thing has me wreeling...

The technique of "make pre-recorded audio {bend} to your way of thinking" is, well, a real mind bender.

My school...is OLD school for sure.

In my "old" days (ok, enough with the quotations), I'd sit with my analog 4 track cassette recorder (please...please...hold it down please...*snarf)...

Program my drum machine (uh, JUST the way I wanted it) to compliment my song (you know with the accents and upbeats and holds etc just where you wanted them)...and lay down the other instruments at hand (ok, it was just the guitar then...I have songs to prove it!).

Ok...so, boooooooooooooring...unless you like instrumental drums and guitar driven songs eh? On a 4 track? (STOP it I said!)

Well...that is the current crux...I'm at an impasse.

I want to GROW as a home-grown musician...I've got some great tools (perhaps too many!)...and the marriage of such has been difficult thus far.

RT's offer GREAT foundations...yet...they don't obey my every whim (dangit).

That's the over-controlling creative side trying to bust through...seeking equalibrium.

I drool at the mouth just thinking of the possibilities...as BB/RB is one heck of a platform...but...can it uniquely represent what I want to do or accomplish?

Well, I think with enough grace...and plenty of learning and exploiting to the fullest extent of PG's capabilities...I can probably get...close.

Like rharv's little signature: Make it your own.

I want so much for that to be my artistic truth!

Enough ranting...I'm hungry.

Thanks again guys...I'm just getting my feet wet...and it's FUN!
