ARTS: The Treeleaf Music Hall is now open

[Seishin]

Hi Seishin

I am glad to hear your Open Mic performance went well. I know what you mean about performing being nerve wracking but it sounds like you went in with the right attitude —having fun. Please do post a link once you have it.

Well the video is out there in our forum land and looks like OM2 will be mid May so its been as a success. Much as I would love to share the whole show, I need to respect my colleagues, so you will have to put up with me making a fool of myself. Guess there was a lot of Jundo's Fake It 'Til You Make in my approach but it was all in good fun !
Just need to get out of the habit of adding the lyrics "Wrong Chord !!" to all my videoed songs or just get the chords right !

Gareth since you asked so nicely ! There are two versions on my Soundcloud, the first mixed and produced my me and this one by my good friend in Moscow, who is our guitar forum go to mixing guru. It was a fun cover with a bit more attitude than the OT but I do like to rock !

I should add from that track you should be able to see my other recordings, some good some bad and some I'd rather forget !

Sat n played

Great playing, I like your version. It is a nice list as well - I'm down to An Irish Pub Song Cover currently! Some favourites - the Madman covers and the Tears of a Dragon cover. Also the Let's Play a Game 1962 collaboration, and the lead guitar in Where Do You Think You Are Going.

I have been playing over a Hendrix-style backing track lately...thinking about uploading a 'version 1', as the Treeleaf Music Hall should have people practicing, not just finished performances?!

Gassho,

Hey, everyone! Looking forward to seeing this one develop

I mentor and own half of an indie label for a living, been passionate about creating and being around music since I was 16, studied it for some years and currently doing a PhD linked to my composition. Here’s a link to the label and a recent release I think some of you might enjoy: https://beachedrecords.bandcamp.com/...-quarry-office

Also will be taking up shakuhachi later this year, nice to see there’s already a wealth of knowledge available here for that!

I enjoyed that mix Jonathan, thanks! Big fan of music of this sort (and most sorts). I used to run a small label/distribution company in L.A. and worked at a label in Tokyo before that. Have been thinking of getting involved again since moving back to Japan. Still messing about on guitar and drums all these years too.
Enjoying this subform in general all, keep up the music.

Been meaning to do that Country Joe for 50 years but could never play let alone sing. Great fun though. Glad enjoyed it. _/\_

There was a 2nd Open Mic mid May where I covered a hybrid version of Behind Blue Eyes and another of the Foo Fighters' Times Like These. I've not had time to strip my part out of the full show video, which I am unable to share but when other musical projects die down, I'll cut, shut and post.

The Madman's Diaries now has another chapter added with Bon Jovi's Blaze of Glory - just me and the guitar. But now added to a playlist, where future chapters will be available.

I've been tied down writing and playing melody lines linked to a discussion on modes. Still work in progress and yet to be published. Of the six commonly used modes I am finishing up the last one at the moment. But as the author of the discussion decided Locrian was just too way out there, I created my own backing track and melody, which will finalise the project. But a side shoot is, the melodies are proving great exercises for increasing speed and accuracy of my picking by ramping up the tempo, so wins all round.


Gareth apologies for delayed reply but go for it. It will be nice to hear you playing, especially some Hendrix style. Please share.

Again thanks for the comments and encouragement.

Seishin - I'm enjoying the Blaze of Glory cover! I just noticed your reply, I'm not sure how I missed it until now. I've been busy practicing, but the Hendrix isn't ready yet unfortunately...it is tough.

I have bought an irig2 for recording though and here is my first upload on soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/user-99148440...-masterpiece-1. I like the sound via the irig2 device compared with the iphone microphone.

I play the baroque lute with a focus on 18th century composers. The instrument has 13 courses - sort of like a guitar with 13 strings. Playing for me can allow for an open feeling that (at its best) is similar to zazen.

Oh, that is beautiful! Sounds amazing. I can relate to that feeling of finding the zazen mind in other activities that require intense focus.

My wife and I met in Okinawa and started playing traditional Irish music together. She has played the tin whistle nearly her whole life; we joke she bought me a bodhrán so I’d have something other than a pint glass to occupy my hands while she was playing at the local izakaya (I’ve since stopped drinking, but that’s a different story). We don’t get too much time to play nowadays because the little princess you see dancing in the background of the video takes up most of our time. However, it is still a passion of ours and something we love to do together.
