You seem to be taking to that like a duck to water

Fewer clams, more edits.
Now I practice “along with the record“

Angels We Have Heard on High—
No harmonica, synth guitar and real 6 string electric, my double neck Ztar with the Boomerang III loop pedal.

More than time you showed off those guitar skills. I LOVED this.

It's fantastic to be able to play your own background
accompaniment when you choose. Now you can use this (if you want) to play over with the chromatic or harmonetta - at
some point. It sounds great as is but would also make a great practice background as well. Just play along (yeah, I know--
as if it's that easy, lol).

Merry Christmas, Gary and Candy!

Well, the Boomerang was designed as a live looper, it has no way to store stuff.
Of course, the final mix down is still here as an mp3, but the final product is less important to me than the experience of creating it.

Merry Christmas, Gary and Candy!

And to you and Fred—hang in there, maybe see you in Tulsa!

Here comes Santa Claus.
In C sharp – – play along!

This Gnarley guy's getting scary!

Not my favourite of the Christmas songs (here comes Santa Claus), but yeah...he's getting very good!

I heard it (in C#!) while shopping, played along with the chromatic I had clutched in my hand, and discovered it worked well in that key on chromatic.

Gnarly He Man · « **Reply #131 on:** January 05, 2022, 03:34:17 PM »

Here’s La Vie en Rose, chromatic lead with MIDI bass and Harmonetta.
My intention is to be able to play chord melody on the Harmonetta, however I found this too difficult at my current skill level.
Hope you like it!

Very nice Gary --you captured the mood and I really enjoyed this (one of my favourites).

great job gary thx for sharing : )
lo

Gnarly He Man · « **Reply #134 on:** January 06, 2022, 10:57:36 AM »

Thanks Laurent.
I made an effort to play the melody without ornamentation, it’s always tempting to throw in the button for fun, but this is a treasured melody and deserved respect.
Again, I very much appreciate your comment.

Out of Nowhere revisited—Harmonetta, lead on chrom and MIDI bass—two choruses, old timey rhythm, tempo creeps up by the end.

Gary, oh Gary ..... where have you been ?

jh.

You are getting scary good! Now you just have to figure out how to play all of those instruments onstage all at once.

Quite the quandary. However, I can hear your chromatic playing being SO MUCH more free-flowing and easy than it was even a couple of short years ago. I suspect it's because you're not on film- since I think you might have a wee bit of stage fright as well,
possibly?

Yep! Scary indeed!

My dirty little secret: editing.
So there are multiple takes for each instrument, I decided the end product was more valuable than the car crash excitement of my clams.
You can still spot the odd clam if you listen carefully, however.

Again, it's what a blind hears on the radio.

Gnarly He Man · « **Reply #141 on:** January 11, 2022, 10:04:14 PM »

I tend to play beyond my abilities.
Thanks to all of you for putting up with my noodling.
Next up: a solo version of Ring of Fire on the Harmonetta.

wolfman · « **Reply #142 on:** January 11, 2022, 10:13:41 PM »

In key of A Gary?

Gnarly He Man · « **Reply #143 on:** January 11, 2022, 10:24:25 PM »

I sing it in C—is A better?

Depends on your voice $:-\$ Gary.

I will try it in A just to see how it lays.
I’ve been practicing in C but I need to learn all the keys, obviously.

Gnarly He Man · « **Reply #146 on:** January 12, 2022, 02:04:44 PM »

Haven’t tried it in A yet, guess I’ll try that now.

Gnarly He Man · « **Reply #147 on:** January 12, 2022, 02:07:12 PM »

A is doable too.
The only tricky part of this song is doing the ascending thirds at the beginning.
In most keys, those two buttons are next to each other.
I am learning!

lomor · « **Reply #148 on:** January 12, 2022, 02:34:01 PM »

great !! i got one coming !! thx for inspiration : )))

cheers gary

It's got a lot of potential--the trick is to KNOW where the notes are (sound familiar?).
