Hah Thanks! @dlamson13 Rock on :metal: :metal:

Yeah I’m trying to tidy the fingers up a bit but I think the problem is my finger muscles are a little weak: it’s easier for me to kind of keep the finger straight and use the palm muscles to flap the whole finger around. I could run into some speed issues in the future but it’s doing the job now :slight_smile:

Here’s the first thing I’ve recorded…

Thought I’d have a go as 1) it’s topical with recent events and 2) it’s nice to get feedback.

God Save the Queen (now King)

(will likely need headphones - sounds really quiet on my phone)

Really well played, @Paul_9207! Coming through my monitors the bass is not too low at all, in fact I would have mixed it down a bit more. No worries about the level at all.

Interesting this one is plucked. Isn’t P-Nut a slap bassist usually?

Hey that went really well, @mikeyjayjay! Your acoustic came through no problem for me. Nice vibrato you got in there too :slight_smile:

Nice job @mikeyjayjay !!

Sounds great (even if it’s the ā€œBritishā€ version :upside_down_face:)

Lol. I can’t unhear the US lyrics there either. And even if I did I would stumble on ā€œGod save the Kingā€.

Thanks @howard and @John_E
Appreciate the kind feedback.

I completely forgot there’s a US version of our anthem.

And don’t worry, I’ll be tripping myself up on the King bit for years I’m sure

Thanks guys! I cut the bass out of the original song as much as possible, I just always want to make sure it’s my bass that is coming through so I get concerned about the levels. I appreciate the positive feedback.

Nice work @mikeyjayjay ! Yes, I was singing the American lyrics in my head as you played, but nice acoustic solo!

He does slap a lot and when he does it’s usually fast with a lot ghost note triplets mixed in with his pops or something that I can’t really wrap my head around. So luckily he has a few songs like this that I can play along with.

I had to google that as well. Nice job on your first post. The Welsh anthem is fantastic (obviously) the English one, hmm Billy explains it best :sunglasses:

On it @Barney

Give me 10 years or so and I’ll be half way there :yum:

Edit: On a side note, seeing Charles being percussive in that video - Have noticed since changing acoustic that the one with the F holes definitely is less good for bashing around making percussive sounds via the body than a conventional one with the big ol’ soundhole in the middle
