    So glad to hear you you say that, because, well, pentatonic wankery is all I got, so I'll take that spot and try to help avoid this jam coming off as monozygotic

    But really. I was messing about with my PPOD interfaced to my new PC today and thought a good little practical test would be to add a little bit of noise to the jam track.

    So here it goes. I kept it real short 'cause I was strugglin to get into the groove for some reason and well, as a guitar player I make a great stratified keratinized squamous epithelium

    Guitar: Maton MS2000DLX Bridge PU (SD SH4)
    Amp: 1952 Fender Tweed Deluxe Reverb (wide panel)
    Cab: 1965 Fender Twin Reverb "Blackface" 2x12's
    Little bit of spring reverb in the amp

    Recording process
    Step 1. Connect PPOD-Direct Out -> PC Line IN (you didn't think I actually owned those amps did you?)
    Step 2. Use Audacity to play the backing track whilst simultaneously recording new lead track.
    Step 3. Export the whole thing as a single mp3
    Step 4. ?
    Step 5. Profit!

    (OK the last two are an inside joke)

    Apart from the terrible playing and raucous noise (who knew you could make a little old deluxe reverb snarl like that hehe)

    I would have liked to EQ it better. I'm used to hearing my guitar through a really old 4x12 bass cab so to me this sounds really quite shrill. I don't however, currently have nice way to apply eq settings to a track in audacity, and in real time, so I guess I'll do some research there...

    Also I knocked 3db off my track in audacity but I'm worried it might be a fraction too loud in the mix still....

    Anyway, I hope this serves as sufficient incentive for some other guys to have a bash. You know, "wow dude, that guy sucks so bad, I HAVE to have a go now" haha.

    I'm the shock to the system at about 6:10 and I play for about a minute (trust me thats more than plenty)

    Quick update: I dropped myself back into the mix and re-up'd

    Nice to hear you play Chojin. Good job.

    Ya, you're a bit hot in the mix. I would probably pull the lead level down a bit more so it sounds more like playing with the band. Otherwise

    Good playin there Chojin. Agree with Spud about the mix. I'm not in any position to give someone advice about playing, that said, if I was, I'd say look for a bit more space between some of the notes. Air is as important as the notes.
