        Hello gang,
        It’s been awhile since I’ve posted a video, mostly due to my squished video dilemma. Those were using an older ipad with very limited capacity. I’ve since purchased a bigger and better one. I hope 🤞. Watching Bob’s take on this lesson a few days ago and his comment about not playing his acoustic very often got me thinking 🤔 why not try the irig recorder using the new iPad and dust off the Martin at the same time. So thank you Bob and a big thank you to Richard G who posted a “how to” upload to YouTube from irig on an iPad, this also wouldn’t work with the older ipad but worked great with the new one! Much easier.
        Rob


        I’ve shamelessly added an older squished video from 💯 lessons ago, wow. Also a cool slow blues 😎

          Way cool very lovely tone and playing, great that you are up and running with the kit, not sure if the irig has a mic or just is an interface ii so wondering what mic do you use? JohnStrat

            How good were both of those, bit strange though cos the squished video one I was thinking about the other night but couldnt for the life of me remember the lesson number…
            Once again Rob, blown away with your mastery of subtle bends and the improv was bang on the money.

              Thanks John, irig recorder is an app. So I’m recording straight into my iPad, irig recorder captures both video and audio. You can see I’m kicked back on my Covid couch with the iPad sitting right there. It’s extremely simple to use. I should mention too it has some enhancements. In this case I’ve added about 5% reverb. Makes it sound a bit fuller.

                  Rob the tone is coming over very full. I have the sure mv88 and it works wonders over my Iphone 8 mic, there is no comparison. I know how nice a good Martin sounds because I am lucky enough to have one and the recording is coming over very clearly. Maybe you have some new Strings on to give you a little extra but it is indeed a great tone. If you have a chance to plug in an MV88 any time I would be very fascinated to know what you made of the difference. If it upped your sound from this it would be a truly pro level in my book but this seems to be there anyway…perhaps my ears are more suspect than I know!

                  Rob,
                  I’ve been tinkering with various E blues lessons from Brian’s catalogue. The variations he shows are amazing and almost too numerous to keep track of. Great job on both of these.

                    Irig / Ipad is getting great sound and picture. Very nice acoustic playing.

                        Nice playing Rob! You couldn’t have played 368 any better and the tone on the recording was great!

                                    Looks and sounds great, Rob. Well worth the wait to see you playing live on video again. And as a bonus, the improved resolution makes you look younger. So please keep them coming!

                                      That was simply AWESOME Rob!! Wowza on both. Now you have inspired me to look at 268 and give it a go on me Tele gitfiddle! Great tone and rhythm on both. Well done my friend. Bob
