Yep I love Bowie and that album, and his playing on that album, and I appreciate SRV’s skill and uniqueness. His material just leaves me cold. I don’t actively dislike it, but it doesn’t do anything for me. Virtuosity isn’t enough, I have to like the music too. I have a similar take on Eric Johnson, Steve Vai (outside Zappa), and other savants.

@mclaincausey I’m in the same camp you are as far as SRV goes especially with the not listening deliberately part.

[Jett129]

@mclaincausey I think you hit the nail on the head when you said the material leaves you cold. For me no matter how great any musician is, if the song doesn’t grab me,I tend to loose interest. And if we circle back to Robin Trower,the material that he was given to work with, in Procol Harum,was light years better than anything he could come up with on his own. He thought his guitar playing would be enough.

Has anyone recorded music on GarageBand and successfully turned it into a CD or an album of some kind? I have several tracks recorded on there and pushed to WhatsApp but want something more permanent.

And some weekly variations of Bach

@WhiskeySandwich I have a collaborative album ( just for fun/nothing serious)I've been working on with a few friends around the country - 2 of us use garageband out of convenience but after the initial work is done we export each track as individual wav files and it goes into protools.

Are you essentially just looking to export your track onto a cd?

[WhiskeySandwich]

@GraemeE I dont have protools or anything, just record cheap on celly with Garage Band, layer tracks and share on WhatsApp with friends, but I’m wondering if I can either make a CD or put it on Bandcamp or something. Maybe YouTube? I’m not great with the tech

[WhiskeySandwich]

I’m not looking to do anything serious, it’s for fun, but the recordings that I consider “done” I’d like to have someplace other than just on my phone

[GraemeE]

@WhiskeySandwich both YouTube and bandcamp seem like good options maybe SoundCloud as well.

@Aetas do you prefer the 1955 or the 1981 recording?

had to be said

plus lyrics

[Aetas]

@endo
Depends on.
Love the force of the 55 recording. Also that he starts to bumble in version 15.
But the 81 recording is a bit lighter and more precise in tone.

[endo]

his bumbling was something special. but same here, I love the 55 version for it's virtuosity, the 81 for it's maturity

I discovered John Smith this week - I can’t believe how I have missed him over the last decade!
John Martyn v Ray LaMontagne vibes and definitely looks like he could rock our lovely brand!

@endo can't say it often enough...

@endo deserves more than 1 upvote. Just as great by Antilopen Gang/Danger Dan, as you probably already know:
