        I know this is late. I am submitting this out of guilt. You all did so well. And because it’s all Ive got in B that seems to be all over the fret board. I don’t get all the scales and can’t hear, or connect with, a lot of them. Pentatonics, no problem.

        Excuse the indulgence, it’s late and I gave myself one take. Voice is to loud, guitar too low. Imagine it’s 2:00am in a smokey bar and the singer has had to many Irish Whiskeys.

        I also would love a lesson on transposing music. I have to capo this and would rather have more open chords.

        My best to all,

        Bob

          That night bar thing was a cool tip. There were and are plenty of moments like this. It gives your track a nice vibe. Anyway, well done.

          Play guitar just like you live; don't get bogged down in theory, it's just a tool without feeling.

                In any case you hit perfectly that Night Bar-atmosphere, Robert. Maybe you managed to do it without the whiskies.If not, i hope, the hangover was not so bad ;D

                    Greetings all,

                    Only one short Irish Whiskey, Red Breast. It was late and I spent the day eating and celebrating a friends B D. The song is, mostly, Mr. E. Clapton’s version of “Nobody Wants You When You’re Down and Out”.

                    I get the security thing all, but I don’t do anything public, no social media, for the same security reasons in todays world. That includes no YouTube.

                    One day I will figure out something.

                    Best to all,

                    Bob

                        Beautiful Bob! Your recording captures the magic of live music. Both guitar and vocals are great and well matched. Glad you posted.

                        Cheers, Tom

                          Hi Bob, this was so enjoyable. The low volume and lyrics created a very introspective vibe, and you played and sang so well. Just great!
