Jam-1-01

Note that this is just a jam so if you don't like jams we might want to skip this one.

This is a jam that BobH and I did a couple of weeks ago. We had our guitars plugged into my DAW and we recorded this. I was facing BobH and following his chord progressions. This was adlib and totally spontaneous. I later added my fretless bass part and strings.

I did a minimal amount of work in Melodyne to correct a couple of bad notes.

Strings BiaB style = Fedility MIDI - Pop Strings Ballad
Adding the strings took a lot of time, as I had to match the BiaB chords to our chords via my DAW and then rewrite a number of areas to better fit the jam.

Note that this does have a few warts and buzzing strings but we thought it might be worth sharing so let us know what you think, good or bad.

PS - Don't ask about the title. I have no idea why I titled this as I did shocked


OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?

Thanx Dan. I do like both kinds of jams! Yep, BobH and I always have a good time just about every Sunday.

Thanx so much Scott. I wasn't sure that I should post this or not as it is just an open jam so I'm glad that you liked it.

I always enjoyed jams soooo much more than gigs!

Nice performances guys ... but, hey, can the word jam and the time of 2 minutes occupy the same space? smile

Mellow, smooth and most cool.

Keep having that fun!
