I’ve posted here before about playing guitar. I used to play alot, went thru blah blah blah, am playing again. I’ve been wanting to put something out, ie record something, make a video, throw it up on youtube, I’ve been doin too much plannin and not near enough doin.:smack: I’ll do it when I get a better computer, guitar, camera etc.:rolleyes: This week I said screw it, I’m gonna make something with whatever is at hand. I posted a video of a short acoustic jam this week. Daisy shot it on a zenpad. I chopped out the part where we jammed and posted it with a title card, no sound editing or nothin. It was the first time I ever saw a video editor.😃[Sweeney and Cam - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Nx2PBQSwHs) Today I posted this. [Sloppy Slidin - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lrQLznbEJY&feature=youtu.be) Video Sony w830 Widows video editor Audacity audio No microphone, no audio interface:dubious: I had to record the audio on a smartphone, e-mail it to myself, convert the file M4a\>mp3 to put it in audacity edit a few spots, add some jape and marry the works in the vid editor. I put this out there for me mostly. But also for everybody who wants to sing, play, paint, tell a joke of do a backflip. The first one is gonna SUUUUCK. So you better get started cause the 100th or millionth might rock. Go see my vid, throw me a thumbs up. ( I accept pity thumbs up too:cool:) More to come. thnx ---

I think you should cut yourself some slack. I’ve seen waaay worse videos on the Utoobz. Some nice dirty slide work on the second vid and your buddy’s got a pretty decent set of pipes. ---

Like almost any performer, I run on applause.😃 I think the people I used to play with/around (monster players) gave me a complex. The Dallas scene in the 80’s -90’s was full of KILLER guitar players.🆒 ---

Oh, I get that. You can’t throw a brick in most places where it won’t hit a guitar player that’s probably better than you unless you’re Tosin Abasi, Tommy Immanuel or Kaki King. Take up blues harmonica and you’re guaranteed to be better than 90% of all guitar players… (Cos they can’t). 😃 - the generic you. You’re a much better player than I am and I definitely can’t throw a brick that far… FWIW, playing with far better players is a great way to get better, but you already knew that. What are you using for video editing, BTW? I have a video I want to put together and Imma vid virgin. ---

> [@BobBitchin](#): > > … > I think the people I used to play with/around (monster players) gave me a complex. … Hell, why do you think I play bass?! 😃 I like the sound of your guitar, and applaud your willingness to put it out there. One question - what are you trying to accomplish with the video editing. I found the jerky movements and distortion distracting. But that’s JMO (you asked!) I tend to favor more old time music, where there is more an emphasis on seeing what the musicians are doing. But, like I said, I love your sound. ---

Thanks for the kind words, it means alot too me (from everybody) I’m using the windows video editor (in the start menu/windows 10) I tried a few others, but they won’t run on my little laptop. I’d like more control (especially some transitions) > [@Dinsdale](#): > > Hell, why do you think I play bass?! 😃 > > I like the sound of your guitar, and applaud your willingness to put it out there. > > One question - what are you trying to accomplish with the video editing.

Don’t hold back. 😃 I was tryin to be artistic, grew up in the MTV generation.:smack:😃 And to be BRUTALLY honest I pick my own appearance apart. I’m 50 years old, 6’0" 255lbs. I don’t wanna see my double chin. LOL (just regular people nerves, no disfunction) I’ll get used to it soon enough. I guess since it came up, I’ll try to push in that direction on the next project that I’m the forcus of.🆒 ---

Thanks Bubba, next video will be a static shot, no MTVisms;) I miss Wordman too, I looked to see if I can nudge/poke him on youtube, but I don’t see that utility. Off to the studio I go… ---
