Sep 3 2013, 10:39 PM	Learning Rock Star Posts: 7.676 Joined: 14-June 08 From: Odense, Denmark	Been trying to set up a few things to get ready to record some videos when I get more involved here again, but it seems my living room is not pleased about it! I've been trying to place sheets from the ceiling for a more clear background. It's resulted in a few holes from hooks in my ceiling now... think I finally got it right, but I've now got 5 small holes hanging around. And the sheets don't reach the floor! Have to make some straps then to have them further from the ceiling. I get that done, fine, that's out of the way... then I knock over a can of coca cola to my carpet. Great... clear that up. Now to get the camera. Where is it? I don't know! ...found it! I try and place the camera, realize the sheets are not working and the light is annoying. Move them around again. 5 new holes. Now I need to find the tripod for my camera in this new position. Great... that's in the attic. I go get it, I place the camera. It's out of battery... charging it! Alright, there we go! Ready to do a test video. What's that? It only recorded for 2 seconds? There's no space left on the micro card? Oh, great. Better move the pictures and videos to the computer then... ...finally done! People downstairs knock on their radiator, which is code for me probably having been too noisy running around like a mad man to get things working. And I've not even played a note yet! I was 24 when this started out, and I think I'm about 83 now. I give up for today! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

What I do in such situations is embrace the bad luck and keep pushing to see who wins Try it out tomorrow - hopefully you'll ran out of things that could go wrong. This story also reminds me how much I like simplicity in recording setup. I really hate connecting all the cables and running around, all that before even touching the instrument. Nowadays I have my setup very simple - I record bass via direct box pedal directly into my interface. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

THE LIST! THE LIST - is a sheet of paper, that has bullets with everything that needs to be done, in order to keep a continuous workflow, regardless of the nature of that particular activity. Learn to use lists and your life will be FAR easier less time spent and your brain will not feel like it's being fried after 20 minutes! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Got your video this morning Great. It was getting a bit late and as I said in one of my many previous PMs (SORRY! Hope you've seen/read them though, they're not that long, I'm just forgetful!), I decided to just play over a backing track and try to bring in as many techniques as I could to give the best picture.
