An unnecessary video.

So I wanted to see how the S5's built-in microphone sounded on the video setting. So, using the front-facing camera, I made this video of me noodling away to a JamMan loop I'd recorded a couple minutes earlier.
Am I playing my best? No. Does the microphone sound ok? Enough, considering the dull, sloppy performance.

So there. Enjoy a few seconds of messy guitar solo.

Pedaltrain setup #1.

Here's my first Pedaltrain setup. It's not pretty, nor wide as a church door, but 'tis enough.

So what to do with that empty space? Perhaps a Compression/Sustain pedal of some sort? Perhaps a more dependable delay pedal? I won't be able to afford new toys any time soon, but that space on the top left certainly calls out to me.

Self-indulgent selfie.

I took this one while I was walking my dog tonight.
So I settled on upgrading to the Samsung Galaxy S5 and I have to admit that I'm enjoying taking selfies with it.  Of course, this may have to do with the fact that I've lost almost 20 pounds in the last year.

There. I said it. I lost some mass. Now I just need to maintain it somehow.

I noticed, in going through thousands of old negatives, that I have hundreds of selfies from around 1999-2003. I was pretty happy with how I looked. But I haven't digitized any of them, so I can't post them here. But I got pretty adept at them with my little point-and-shoot, long before I had a screen to look at. And I was far more beautiful back then anyhow.

I got the Pedaltrain: a BIG one.

Now I just need to fill it up with coolness.

Video recording at Tractorgrease Studios.

Today I recorded a performance of "35,17" at Tractorgrease Studios. 
Picture
I took this photo once I'd finished recording and already started packing up. It's fuzzy because I just got a new phone and I haven't learned how to best use its camera. Jeff also took a bunch of photographs near the end, and I hope to post them once he does.
I don't really want to write about the performances until I hear which one Jeff chose for the video. I'll be sure to post the video here, of course, and I'll be more willing to write about it then.

I played somewhat well. It was a little rough around the edges, of course, but I feel as if I turned on the charm and played a few good riffs. If anything the performance was unique, I hope. I look forward to hearing how a Jeff-live-performance sounds when it's professionally recorded.
Also, yesterday I learned that my mix of "Pound of Flesh" was accepted for the Michael Knott Tribute CD. I sent a mixed wav file and look forward to hearing how it gets mastered.
