        Hi, been home with a cold, nose running like a faucet, sneezing and hacking. So I decided to try to record something and try not to make too much of a mess on the guitar! By the way the picture was taken yesterday at one of my favorite fishing rivers. Fall color was a few weeks late this year.

          That’s sounding very nice, Bruce. You got the balance of jamtrack vs guitar mixed just right, according to my speakers. As for the cold, about 10 years ago I started getting flu shots every year, and since then I’ve never had a cold or a flu. I know that cold viruses are completely unrelated to flu viruses, but my theory is that the flu vaccine somehow gives an overall boost to my immune system. My doctor says that lots of her other patients have said the same thing.

            yes indeed agree with Steve, I like how you learned to fade out too, I have yet to equip myself with that stuff,, btw ,, I like the stream setting,, use to religiously go fall run browns and rainbow trout but work is always first,, yes me too streams in the mountain peak foliage is bliss always!

                Bruce,
                That was great. Tone and mix was just right as Steve stated.

                    Little Sister is making a big brother sound and all is very nicely put together Bruce. How nice to see the autumn leaves at what I can imagine is a great fishing spot. All the best JohnStrat

                      Such great tone and sound you have coaxed out of that Little Sister. That was excellent. Great playing.
                      I hope you feel better soon!

                        Really nice, Bruce. Beautifully played on your little sister. Those seem to be popular, and for good reason. That river picture is beautiful as well. Looks like a great spot. Reminds me of a place I used to go to alot growing up.

                            Loved your recording Bruce! Where do you live? The picture looks like a scene from “A River Runs Through It”. Just beautiful. Makes me want a ‘Little Sister’ and a fresh caught trout for dinner.

                                      Jonathan, that was well done, great tone and timing. You should post it the Showcase Your Playing in the Forum topics.

                                        yes very beautiful Brian composition and your recording sounded next to perfect! This tune could be a perfect soundtrack for any adventure movie that’s what it reminds me of everytime I hear it lol great cut!

                                        Thanks, Bruce. I thought this was on the Showcase Your Playing forum?

                                        It was my first track on Soundcloud and I did not know whether to make it public or private. I chose private, uploaded the track to AM and later changed the setting in Soundcloud to Private. Now AM says “track not found” so I think my changing the setting from public to private must have cut the link. Can anyone confirm this, please? So here’s a new link https://soundcloud.com/jonathan-amos-999382281

                                          Jonathan, I meant to post your playing on Showcase your Playing under your own post. To do this, click on Forum, scroll down to “Showcase your Playing” and click on that, then scroll down to the bottom where is says Create new topic in “Showcase your Playing”, then you can type in what you want and add your link. That way you start your own post that people can see and reply. I think you may need to change to public on Soundcloud, but I’m not sure.

                                            Hi Jonathon. You have to have SoundCloud tracks set to public if you want to share them..
