Hi, Second attempt to record. After a lot of messing with BIAB to make it work I was able to record something. My one take guitar track...well...needs a jazz guitar player..lol I had a lot of trouble getting BIAB to do things like play something different on a G7 than a G7b5. The chord structure is just stuff off the top of my head. I could never get the 13th chords in the inversions I wanted. Live and learn!! https://soundcloud.com/planobilly/rumba-expermentCheers, Billy

You have the beginnings of something very good...it’s a very pleasing palette you’ve created so far..I suggest keep working at it.

Thanks Tano,
One of the things I like about BIAB is the many different genres of music. That gives me the opportunity to try to play over styles that are beyond my current skill sets.
Due to some health issues I had to stop playing for over a year. I just started back. I am trying to learn to play some new styles that do not require me to bend notes. This is a first experiment using a ii V I as a basis for the music.
Having played mostly blues in the past dominant seventh chords were common. Major seventh not so much and certainly not 13th chords or sharp eleven's. If everything stays in key, it is really easy to solo over that. As I listen to the notes I played it is obvious I will need to write out the solos to make it sound better. OMG, sight reading for guitar, what a concept...lol
Thanks,
Billy

Billy, your guitar technique is just fine, i.e. you don't need a jazz guitarist, you are a jazz guitarist.
I would like to have the guitar more up front as at times it gets lost in the backing tracks. Other than that this is really good.

Thanks for the kind words Mario. I am trying to do new to me styles of music. As with any new thing it always feel a bit uncomfortable in the beginning.

Well, we are just a couple of old bluegrass rhythm guitar and bass pickers trying
out some Americana nowadays so all the chord talk escapes us!
But we know good playing when we hear it. That was very nice along with the
great tone. Glad you're back with it.

Thank you Janice and you also Bud.
Nothing is hard if you know how and everything is hard if you don't...lol
Sometimes Bluegrass is so fast it makes my head spin...lol Not sure if I could ever learn to play Bluegrass up to speed!!
I like Americana and find it pretty understandable. I actually like everything you guys do.
Jazz on the other hand is pretty difficult to rap my head around on guitar. It is a lot less trouble to understand looking at a keyboard. Some jazz chords were not made for human hands...lol
Cheers,
Billy

Billy,
Very cool free style Rumba. Nice playing! Why would you want anyone else play this? I think you totally got it. I wanted to mention, but Mario said it first: "I would like to have the guitar more up front". Perhaps a little Higher EQ on it? The only other thing, it ends a bit abrupt. This is probably because it is work in progress, so I figured that what happened. Thank you for sharing!
Misha.

Pleasant listening for a late evening. The ending was a bit abrupt, though.

I agree totally with Mario! I enjoyed my listen, Tom

Thanks for all the kind words guys.
Yes David, the ending could have been better. Everything was going a bit fast for me and I was just trying to hang on...lol
Trying to understand BIAB, my DAW, and play my guitar is not so easy for me. I also have the added distraction of my wife taping me on the shoulder being puzzled as to why I am not setting on the sofa watching soap operas with her!!!...lol
