Ok guys. I went ahead and posted something. Just to get my feet wet. This is total newbie beginner stuff and I hope Neil forgives me. This is stuff I have been playing on my acoustic. This is my Strat, as I do not have a good way of getting my acoustic's sound into the computer yet.
Everything was recorded just with a cable into Garageband on my G4 iMac, with my 60th Std. Strat. Please listen to Hey Hey last, if at all. I am not satisfied with it and can play it better. I threw it up there anyway just for the different amp tone. After listening to all the surfabilly, I was trying to go for a beach toned Heart of Gold in the SurfGold track. The Surfgold 2 track is just trying out a different amp setting in Garageband. Hey, it's for fun and learning, right? Thanks guys.
Steve

Yea! Now this is great. Even the new guys are posting their playing. This is what it's all about.
Good job and especially to pull out the cajones and 'get er done'.
Good meter for not having a drummer.
BTW. Your third track is the same as the second.

Steve, that sounded good! Now you are over the hurdle of the recording software and the logistics of recording, all you have to do is add some of Neil's patented one-note solos and you have a hit. OK, may be it isn't quite that easy, but you are doing great.

Man this is so inspiring hearing you guys play! I wish I had the self-confidence to play in front of people and record a long time ago back when I started. No use crying over spilt milk though... better late than never. Each track I listen to just motivates me even more!
Great stuff! That's a nice tone you've got going there...
Maybe you could do 'Rocking In The Free World'. We use that as a loose jam towards the end of a gig. Always a crowd pleaser!

Steve, its good to hear that you have made your first GB recording. Isnt it simple? The built in amps are rather good.

Steve, man, all you need now is practice enough to get comfortable with those chord changes on some new songs. The ones you posted sound good!
BTW...what in the world is "surfabilly"?

Thanks Glenn. I guess surfabilly is guys with idaho plates on a pickup trying to surf in So. Cal. (I went on that trip once, it was way fun!).

LOL,
When I put it up I was thinking more of a hillbilly in bib overalls listening to Dick Dale or the Surfaris!
