Thanks! I like the waltz beat, breaks up the 4/4 or 2/4 timing we all use constantly.

Next one has singing, Big singing actually, lol. There's a hint, fun one on the way!

Wayne

Well, I don't know about that but it's a simple, nice folk idea.

Thanks man!

Wayne

Thanks Michael!

Wayne

Thanks!

I'm feeling more comfortable and confident singing within my abilities. Having some fun with the lyrics and story.

Wayne

Thanks! The lyrics are fun.

For an amp I am using a Fender Bronco tweed amp, 15 watts, 1 8" speaker. It has a clean channel and a drive channel, no reverb. It makes some nice tones and makes a cheap guitar sound pretty good.

For electric guitar I play a couple cheap ones, Fender Strat Squire and an Epiphone Riviera Custom P 93, an ES styled guitar. Here I used the Strat.

Glad you liked it!

Wayne

Thanks!

Wayne

Thanks for swinging by again!

Wayne

Cheers man!

Except for the drums, EZ Drummer, it was all played and sung live. Not at the same time though, he.

Wayne

.....as you're storming the new congress. lol. Got your back brother.

Just got my "MTG is as ugly as a big bag of #####" t-shirt.

Thanks! Had some fun with the lyrics.

Be good, be safe.

Wayne

Cool man, glad you liked it!

Wayne

Ha! Yup still fooling around with it, it's fun!

Thanks Maj!

Hey Cam!

I bought a Moog Theremini theremin and have been experimenting with it in my music. Fun to play and it gives me some interesting sounds. I also like how it interacts with the guitar, like an organ with one sound and an ocarina almost with the other.

I've never been to California, seems like it would be nice to visit. We are starting our 7 months of nice weather here in florida after 2 hurricanes.

Happy holidays!

Wayne

Thanks Paul!

Wayne

Thanks Michael!

The search you took was prob set for most recently uploaded so naturally mine was at the top. Also there were no flutes used or abused in the track. The sound you are hearing is a Moog Theremini theremin. The preset I used sounds like a flute, granted, but I never touched the instrument while playing it, unlike a flute. I'm not much of a singer, just do it cuz I can and it adds to my tracks to have singing on them.

Thanks Gothi!

Wayne

It's interesting you mentioned the timing of the singing, good feedback.

I actually did that on purpose. I've listened to countless live performances on youtube and watched so many performers do the same thing. Whether it's done on purpose to break up the monotony of singing the song the same way every time or just the breaking up of everything coming in on the beat, it is commonly done. To sing a song and break up the phrasing so that it isn't always perfect and on time is perfectly acceptable. It just makes the ears work a little harder to hear something that is expected but isn't necessarily wrong either. It's just how I chose to sing it and I re sang it twice to get it right, he. Just my interpretation in the moment. But thanks for inquiring about that.

If you listen even closer, every thing is moving in the song, delays and phasers were put on everything but the drums and automated to some extent.

Thanks Mykael! Hope my explanation helped you see into why I did that.

Cheers!

I remember finding my first gold neckless while i was metal detecting, I was so excited. It was half an ounce of 18 carat gold worth about $1,200. I got the fever then!

Thanks!

Wayne

Whidbey Island is just north of Seattle. I chose that and Portland as landing places to and from the Klondike, sounds reasonable enough to me.

I am going through another tropical storm as I type, windy and rainy now, worse to come today and tomorrow. Hope my temporary roof from the last hurricane holds up.

The theremin is like the harmonica, all the right notes are there, it's just finding them with the right hand then, with about 20 seconds of practice you can hone in on where the good notes are. Over 20 scales to chose from which is handy. Gonna be fun seeing how i can utilize this in my music.

Be safe!

Wayne

Thanks Paul!

I am very happy with the overall sound and feel of the song. The theremin adds quite a bit of that feeling I think.

Take care!

Wayne

Thanks Michael!

Wayne

Thanks!

Oh wow, that's a lot. It was $100 cheaper a year ago, now $400 in America. Totally fun to play, I actually played the notes in the scale I chose. It's versatile in being able to choose the root note and scale and displays the note you are playing, which is very helpful.
