Hi All,

I'm a relatively new guitarist, home recording engineer, etc... I have fun, more than anything else. I try not to take my playing too seriously, but seriously enough to grow and get better (hopefully). Anyway... Ever see a Charlie brown cartoon, and catch the way the adults do that mumble thingy... I wanted to try and create a guitar version of that. I had one of those days in corporate america, where it seemed like everyone was coming to me with more bad news, or just negativity overall. After a while it all started to sound like noise, hence... my ditty.

I also wanted a chance to try out a bass simulator effect on my workstation... so for character sake, let's say that repetitive "bass" line in the background is me, and the rest of the tracks are some negative nelly co-workers that (unsuccessfully) tried to put a damper on my day.

This is the first MP3 that I've posted and I am still learning, but most importantly I had a lot of fun doing it... imagine the facial expressions while playing, trying to imitate the blah blah blah I heard all day...

I really liked this - I doubt I could listen to a whole cds worth but it had purpose and direction. It possibly went on a little too long but it works. :thumb:

Cool idea! I think you'd have even more luck reproducing the Charlie Brown adult-speak with a whammy bar and a wah pedal. Vai does some pretty cool talking-sound effects like this... but I can't seem to think of a specific song off hand.

As for keeping things fun, I completely agree! A while back I messed around on the piano. Decided to start taking lessons and it immediately went from fun to work, and I quit. I don't dare take guitar lessons or get too serious with it :grin:

Thanks for the feedback...

Hi Goport and Dunadan,

Thanks for the reply, very much appreciated... I saw some opportunities to reach into the bag of effects I have and get real close to the Charlie Brown mumble, but it didn't capture the 'whining' that inspired it. LOL. Thanks a lot for listening.

Welcome, and thanks for posting.

This is indeed fun to listen to for a little bit.

You came to the right place to learn from others and share your passion. :thumb:

Thanks Canyon Carver...

The piece is waaaaay too long. Which probably makes sense, since the particular day that inspired the idea, felt as long as 2 days... I should have cut it shorter in the editing. Thanks for the welcome and the experience has been nothing but great thus far...
