friends, check. money, check…

more fun with mac recording… this time, trying out logic express 9 — it’s waaaaay more intense than garageband

i need to play around with it more, but i found a drum loop — it’s suuuper sloppy, but i gotta post it as an exercise. i can’t be a perfectionist right off the bat…

john mayer – something’s missing*

* this is another funky-tuned song… i think it’d be more fun to play on an electric, which i’ll try out next time

this one was recorded on garageband, while logic was installing (it’s a ridiculously gigantic program)

john mayer – love soon

i’m a sloppy guitarist

messin’ with garageband

did a suuuper quick test with garageband ’09, which was pre-installed on my mac mini.

i gotta bug greg again about getting the brodie mics back… i’m sure they’ll sound a lot better than what i was using… yer gonna love this actually — it was rock band usb mic. yup. apparently, computers know that it’s a proper mic and it worked fine (enough)

basically had the mic on the stand pointed at my guitar. simple.

i didn’t do any real mixing or post-production on this so it’s pretty raw…

so here we go — “in your atmosphere,” which is actually a fun song to play — the tuning on it is odd tho: E-B-E-F#-B-e

go easy on me — i JUST learned how to play it yesterday… i need to clean up the harmonics and the hammer-ons a lot

john mayer – in your atmosphere

guitar goal: neon – john mayer

this song is crazy tough… not only is it an odd tuning (drop-C), but the finger positions and picking is crazy. if it was a rockband song, the guitar difficulty would be “devil”

i can half-ass this song, but i wanna get good at it…

here’s theĀ guitarĀ tab. maybe i’ll post my progress along the way… maybe.

yea, that pretty much covers it

i know it’s not hip right now to like him, but john mayer pretty much sums it up for me…

john mayer – perfectly lonely

to twitter or not to twitter

that truly is the question…

twitter

twitter: i’ve always made fun and even mocked the service, but now i saw one of my heroes using it — and my impressionable mind wants to imitate everything… i think it’d be cool to have it set up as a “development blog” for gorirra. we’ll see how that goes…

…and i can keep people posted when i poop, which is why twitter was created in the first place!

i was recently asked to update my friend’s (mike) band’s myspace page. i’ve never touched myspace before in my life, yet try to hack it up. he gave me this page as a jump-off point… it’s pretty good for a hack, but if you look closely, it’s not perfect — some text that obviously isn’t supposed to show appears and the youtube video kinda overlaps the music player…

i came across this page that basically told me all the things that i CAN’T do… you would think that they’d allow more flexibility since they offer the jankiest layouts. c’mon — just let us do anything with the css, please? gawd!

so i’ll try to hack it… we’ll see how it goes…

i’m not even gonna post their logo here — f ‘em…
