Well, my fellow GMCers, I've been living a lie ... for many years I have been playing rock like a good guitarist, but every so often I would hear some Jazz playing, and feel a strange attraction. I knew that any decent metal player would think I was wierd and twisted, so I kept it hidden ... one day about 3 months ago, I couldn't stand it any more, and I had to express myself, so I wrote and recorded this song, a kind of BossaNova/Jazz piece. I felt ashamed and hid it from all of you for fear of what you all as true metal and rock fans would say ...
But today, we got a Jazz instructor, and I now feel its time to end the secrecy and expose my inner jazziness, so here it is - Remembering Amanda  Its a little self indulgent at 6 minutes long but I was aiming for a cross between George Benson and Carlos Santanna - hope some of you enjoy it ! -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

Very good Andrew!! I'm also impressed with your perfectly clean and balanced recordings, no disturbing buzz or hum. Have you got a studio or an isolated room or is it that your Line6 Pod has a good noicegate? -------------------- My bands homepage

QUOTE (Layzer @ May 9 2007, 04:02 AM)  EDIT: wow your specs are right under your posts woops!  Yeah, I used my variax on one of the semi-acoustic models to get that tone - glad you liked it!QUOTE (Robin @ May 9 2007, 04:40 AM) This is AMAZING! Did you make/record all this by yourself? This was really, really good. And if any metal fans think its stupid to play jazz just tell them to go fu*k themselfs  I'm not really that into jazz, I listen alot to Coltrane though, I love him. But I have always thought jazz was cool. Atm I got so many new bands to check out so the jazz will have to wait  Thanks! Yeah, put it all together with Cubase and a load of plugin instruments ... played the lead and rythm guitar of course QUOTE (MickeM @ May 9 2007, 05:08 AM) Out of the closet, a Jazz dude Very good Andrew!!

Hi MikeM - one great thing about the Variax Guitar is that it has Piezo pickups, so it never picks up any hum at all. When I record my strat, yes I use the Pod Noise Gate. Pluse it helps that there was little gain on the clean sounds I used here. This post has been edited by Andrew Cockburn: May 9 2007, 12:51 PM -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

QUOTE (Kaneda @ May 11 2007, 08:22 PM) Great song, Andrew Classy, really swinging quality to it - it really is hard to keep still while listening. Maybe I should consider a Variax to supplement the classic electrics, since I already have the PodXT Live. You get a great, cool sound out of that one And finally I got that "America" tune out of my head  Glad you liked it - maybe I should rename it "Rememberig America"
