geoffbassist Posted September 24, 2010 Author Share Posted September 24, 2010 Just realised the volume is a bit low. . . I will try to get some better recordings done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

endorka Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Nice work, love the tone, intonation and articulation. Just the right dynamic in my opinion. What strings were you using at this point? Jennifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoffbassist Posted September 25, 2010 Author Share Posted September 25, 2010 Thanks for the kind words guys. The bass is a Paul Bryant (john lott model) with Evah Weichs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoffbassist Posted October 14, 2010 Author Share Posted October 14, 2010 thanks Johnny, ive done an updated version with better audio (the old one was a bit quiet). [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GO8YwkKuFI"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GO8YwkKuFI[/url] Ive also just posted an unaccompanied version of Autumn Leaves [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYNEUeuphrU"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYNEUeuphrU[/url] they are all just demo recordings done on the iphone. Theres a few 'rough notes' but ive enjoyed the process of recording them. Im going to try some bass guitar stuff when ive got time. cheers for listening Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBod Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Good stuff (always tempting to say "mmm niiiccee" in the jazz voice). I wondered what you sounded like...and now I know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've learned a lot from the process of recording these though. Now I have a better understanding of what areas of my playing are weaker and what I need to work on.

Of course it's more of a shock to people when they first hear themselves because they usually think they're totally awesome before they begin (this isn't a personal comment just a general observation). Anyway i thought it sounded fine. Liked the blues thing. Possibly need to work on the timing in areas but other than that, great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that when I'm playing unaccompanied I'm too concerned about intonation as it's so exposed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBod Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Have you ever done a duo gig with a pianist who plays solo a lot? Its happened to me a few times (also jazz gitar) and the first ten mins or so can be a real challenge! Usually settles down after a tune or two, but it can be very strange sitting in someones else's private time bubble.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
