RoughMix

The cast about how music is made.... I was playing around with a kind of scratching sound on the guitar and decided to experiment with some other effects. By effects I do not mean anything electronic. I mean doing gimmicky things on the guitar itself, likes this kind of scratch, some popping (where I place a thumb under a guitar string, pull it up and let it snap back to the fretboard) and a few other things. Effects, gimmicks and tricks do not make a song, but they can be tools to help the creative process. My technical abilities continue to grow, but creativity oftens only thrives when something fresh is done or a new approach is taken. This episode takes one listen at approachingly freshly using what I am Pop, Scratch and Ham. In the second clip the effects I use include slapping (which I do with my thumb) slap harmonics and then a combination of these things as well. There are two clips: the first is called "Pop and Scratch", and the second "Ham is OK" (see if you can figure out why.) Shouts to: Casablanca, Morocco; Ghana somewhere north of Wenchi; Cameroon somewhere east of Foumban and to many friends in China and the rest of the world. If you send a short voice mail we can maybe share what you are doing in songwriting with others in the RoughMix community.

The cast about how music is made.... This time around I am using a tool that churns things up a bit. I play predominantly the acoustic guitar. I tried this time to record playing things in a different way than I usually do. Differently stylistically, rhythmically and different guitar tricks, and you can hear that is this short clip recorded mono on my Palm Tungsten.
