http://soundcloud.com/zumdale/what-afriend I have been playing for quite a few years now. I think I don't play very well. I still really love trying. I just got an ADAT recorder and I am trying to learn to use it. the soundcloud recording is my first attempt.

Sounds really good to me. I've been playing that song lately, one of my favorites, and well, I sure wish I could play it like that! Got some good ideas from your version here.

Thank you all for the nice comments. Intonation and getting carried away (Over playing) is what I hear after listening to the recording again. Recording your self is a good thing if you can be honest with your self and learn. Some times it's what you don't play that's more important than what you did play. Dale

The only bad thing about it is, it makes me sound bad. Laughing

Dale,

All I can say as a new player is that your recording shows all of the qualities I am trying to develop as a player. Well done.

Aaron, Thanks for your comment. The truth is I have been trying to play for quite a few years. I should be a better player than I am given the number of years, but with work and raising a family (excuse!) Any way, It's been a great hobby and at turning 60 yrs old next week, I hope I can continue to play for a long time and have fun, God willing! Dale

Joe, Thank you. I,m glad you are still playing steel. I responded to one of your posts a while back. I have had two friends that played steel that had lost their sight. Don't let any one tell you that you can't do it! Dale

Something that I don't understand has happend. I got an email from Fred Justice my sound cloud recording showed up on his facebook as him doing the playing. I can understand why he would not want any one to think my playing was him. I have no Idea how this could happen except that some mean spirited person thought it might be funny and was able to do this. Below is our email comments. Howdy, I don't know if i know who you are by your name (zumdale)
but I see you have posted a song on my FB page.
It plays but no audio,
where was this recorded? and how can I hear it?
Can you email me a mp3 of it to
fredsmusic@q.com
Thanks,

Hello Fred I did post a song on sound cloud. I have no idea why it went to your FB page. To tell the truth I'm not overly proud of it and might regret posting it on sound cloud, I do play for a hobby and a member of the forum. I read your posts and know that you build a fine guitar. I better learn more about what I am doing when I start posting things on the internet. My name is Dale Hampton and I hope this didn't go to a gillion other people that I didn't expect it to. Dale

Dale,

Are you friends with Fred on FaceBook? SoundCloud does link up with FaceBook if you so choose to do so. I use both myself and my SoundCloud posting will post onto my FaceBook page and will also let my friends know that I have posted a new song etc. on their page when I do so...

Joe
