NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, ask a regular participant (such as @Sleazy or myself).

If you already know what's going on, you probably don't need to click any of those links. You can still visit to see if any changes have been made, as that's also where we kept the archives and have a second forum.

By the way, we're down to just two of us. If you want to help, let us know.

Hello again everybody. My good buddy Chris came over again to jam some tunes again earlier this week.

Here is our version of Townes Van Zandt's song If I needed you, would you come to me?

That sounds pretty cool. I don't know the song. I've never heard it before. If I have, I don't remember hearing it before now.

Townes Van Zandt never got widespread airplay or acceptance, but he does have a lot of fans at the same time.

Yeah, I know who he is and some of his music. Chris likes him a lot, which is okay by me.

Hmm... I was hoping Carl would show up. There's still plenty of time for him to do so, though I think he's in the same time zone I'm in.

He said he would, so he probably will

I am optimistic.

I haven't received any emails saying he cant get in or anything

I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to lead you on. I just told you what he had told to me. Damn. Now i feel like i misled you, when that has never been my intent

He did show up, eventually. LOL He forgot about it. Then, he must have remembered it. So, he eventually came and posted.

That made me happy enough just to have him check in. We are a community of sorts, after all.

[ - ] Sleazy 1 point 7 monthsNov 16, 2024 15:47:54 ago (+1/-0)

I got an email from him saying that he forgot it was Friday and that he tried to post something when he got my email and he said it didnt work, but now seeing you say he did post something, maybe his post did work! That's cool. Better late than never

This site isn't as 'smooth' as the rest, regarding posting and working from within the comments section.

So, I could see it confusing someone.

I made sure to type a 'welcome' reply to him. I'm pretty glad that he showed up.

Your boy Chris is getting real good at singing folk music. Van Zandt. He wrote some famous song. I forgot what it is. May MOTHER. "kicking hippies asses and raising hell"

Ain't really sure.

[ + ] Sleazy

[ - ] Sleazy 0 points 7 monthsNov 15, 2024 21:44:07 ago (+0/-0)

Thanks. He is getting better at playing guitar too.

Here's the song I was talking about. I guess Van Zandt didn't write it. Some other guy similar. https://youtu.be/WI1sTyaErW0?si=Fm6gQdMGdS-qrn9_

That's a pretty rowdy song. I bet chris would love to cover this. Stay tuned lol

Hello and welcome to another Friday Night Guitar Thread. Like normal, we'll get you started.

We've been busy this week. We had a new track last week, for those that missed it. (It's probably worth going back to check it out, or so I think...)

So, to keep it simple, here's one from the archives - even hosted at an old site:

GnR Sweet Child O' Mine

Enjoy!

Rock on, Goats! Rock on!

You played that one great but I do believe that if you did it over now it would sound better. It sounded electronically somehow to my ears, but I'm half deaf LoL

[ + ] TheRealBuddha

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 3 points 7 monthsNov 15, 2024 20:23:40 ago (+3/-0)

We're better at recording than we were then, so you might be correct. It sounds a little off to my ears but not far enough to worry about it. It'd work just fine in a bar or even in front of a big audience.

[ + ] Sleazy

[ - ] Sleazy 3 points 7 monthsNov 15, 2024 20:25:04 ago (+3/-0)

yeah, it would great anywhere, the performances were terrific, and that is what really matters. I just know you like to recreate the sounds exactly if you can LoL

I can be pretty picky with my tone. That's one of the reasons why I own all the gear I own.

At the same time, there are times when I don't give a shit about perfection. It's only got to be 'close enough for who it's for'.

Wow that was girl on lead? Didn't know that. That hook is hard to play with a pick.

Indeed. She's much more skilled today.

That's what happens if you consistently practice a lot, I suppose.

Aye y'all. Cool you did some Townes here's an Eddie Vedder cover I did this week. And there's a few new tracks on my bandlab

That's pretty good. You and Sleazy's buddy got that folk song thing going on.

[ + ] Sleazy

[ - ] Sleazy 1 point 7 monthsNov 15, 2024 23:03:36 ago (+1/-0)

That's pretty fucking good

You playing that as you sing? It sounds like it

Kind of Dylan tint to that tune

Yepp. I've been big on live, raw, and few takes.. have a more industrial type piece I collaborated with Theo on just posted

Nice. We don't get much Eddie Vedder in here.

Chris and I also jammed out this Charles Dobson song Hard by the Highway

Huh... That's another one that I've never heard before.

[ - ] Sleazy 3 points 7 monthsNov 15, 2024 21:43:34 ago (+3/-0)

I had not known that one before chris showed me. I like the melody and it's a fun one to play

It's the same chord progression. Reminds me of the Dylan song.

Good morning everyone, well needless to say I got distracted last night and totally spaced FNGT.I will be back next Friday with something new recorded. Until then

You made it! It's great to see you.

Quite some time ago, I replied to you on YouTube - but their comment section didn't allow URLs. To make it worse, it still showed my comment to me, so I had no idea that YouTube didn't allow links to websites.

We're glad you're back and I hope all is good enough at your end for you and yours.
