    Just bought a cheap little amp and a splitter so I can play Rocksmith and the amp simultaneously.   

     

    Hi, Steve

     

    Just checked out that Vox VXll Guitar Amp. In the write up on it, it says you can make it sound like many different brands of Amps. with the software included. It's amazing at the advancement in electronics and computers now days. I can't wait until they develop a cheap Guitar that can be programmed to sound like a multitude of super expensive Classic Guitars, but that might be too much to hope for.

    Watched and read some reviews on the amp and everybody praised it, especially for the price.  It looks like shit, but I couldn't care less.  It emulates a Fender, a couple of Marshalls, a few VOXs, an Orange, and some others I can't remember.  Should be here Monday to give it a test drive.

  2. Hey, Terry,

     

    Just played Green River.  Tones, volumes, and sync all look good.  I always struggle with CCR songs.  He uses a lot of chords on the little strings and I end up getting lost a lot, but that's common with my playing.

     

    I agree on Gloria.  Even though it's basic chords, you've got to get through them really quickly, plus there's two open strums in the middle of those chords making it even harder.  I started out at 50% speed and increased from there, but still was sloppy as hell.

     

    Working on my 3rd version of Only You Can Rock Me by UFO.  Finally got proper tabbing for lead and rhythm, now have to put a lot of work into bass line.

    Grabbing the best quality audio from Youtube is the best you can do if you don't have the original song on disc, etc.

     

    Audacity won't make the quality of the audio any better.  It allows you to trim the track, fade in/out, adjust overall volume, etc.  It works a lot like a word processing program: highlight, cut/paste, delete, etc.

     

    If you're having real trouble finding a particular track, let me know and I'll see if I can find it somewhere else.

  4. Going to be re-doing some Bowie songs already done by other people:  Moonage Daydream and Rock n Roll Suicide.  The versions out there aren't terrible, but need some love.  Will also be doing Fame, which nobody has done yet, with main riff written by Robert Fripp (I wonder if @Frippchen even knows that).

     

    If anyone can think of any other Bowie tunes that need polish, let me know and I'll try and redo them.

     

    Just finishing up a couple Link Wray songs, plus Gloria by Them.  Should have them up soon.
