Thanks @Growl its not you the entire session was buzzy. It’s not the basses. It’s the cable from the iPad to my amp. I didn’t hear it but once in post it was too late. Lol.
Yeah it’s upside down string like playing left handed, it’s mind bending a bit. This is when instinct can’t take over. Consciously playing is very difficult because you have to take everything into account timing, fingering, muting and orientation. By the time I get to the second cover I was more relax.
Highly recommend anyone to try it.

That’s a great tune @Ant always great to hear a Pink Floyd. You did great and stayed in the pocket the entire time.

Every instrument in this song is straight-up pimpin’ the sound. Excellent song to learn for anyone.

Heck I missed this part. So on how I approach syncing is simple.
First start video recording, then audio with some empty space, as many bars as you need.
In that empty space I do one hard pop, and it’s picked up by laptop mic and also through DAI.
So that pop is the point where you line up/sync audio and video, then just do cutting and video editing.
P.S. Don’t forget to remove audio track picked up by mic from video.

It’s not so much an issue with my know how, rather I am still using a 2011 MacBook Pro that is so painfully slow, running ableton, iTunes and my internet browser makes the fan run so hard I am afraid something might explode 
Been eyeing a new MacBook but I’m not sure I want to drop $2k at the moment. I hear really good things about the new MacBook Air and those are a bit more reasonable at $1200

Try reaper or garage band instead.

Here is one from the 50 Song Challenge, linked here.
For so little actual playing, it’s a lot of fun to play!
The goal here was to learn a tune in a day and record it.

That peavey sounds tight and angry. I love it. This by no mean a gimme. Great job @John_E is it active? Of course it is with that many knobs lol.

Thanks Al
nope, lol.
Vol/Tone for each pickup, but…
Tone knob work like this - 1-7 is single coil mode and tone control / above 7 puts the pickups in humbucker mode.
One toggle for pickup selection.
One toggle puts the pickups out of phase for the most nasaly sound in the land.

Hey welcome to Fleetwood Mac corner, nice to have some more people over here!
The slide from C up to E and then the walk back down is just pure fun isn’t it? The more John McVie stuff I learn the more I appreciate his restraint and impeccable timing.
Speaking of which, that was all spot on the money. I think think the beard trimming has helped tighten things up bass wise 
Great cover

Oh yeah T40 has craziest electronics, like 4-5 basses in one.
I have read its anchor however, hows yours @John_E ?
Great cover btw.

Mick and John McVie are a great match they have their things with beats especially the off beat counts. Kinda like Ringo genius and understated.
