Well here it is. It's a new year and one of my new years resolutions was to start a progress log much like Phil, Mick, Tbone and I'm sure countless others. The computer god's did throw a wrench in my attempt but I had forgotten about and old recording I had uploaded to a month or so ago. So here is the start. Blues You Can UseBYCU - Texas RockBYCU - Blue Rock TuneBYCU - True Blue |

I really like that Marc, the timing is right on the money and it's got a nice mellow sound. It that your white Les Paul in your Soundcloud photo? That is sweet!
It's great to have a new person posting recordings here, hope you stick around!

Way to go, Marc! Sounds good and the timing is spot on. Timing is a big issue around here only surpassed by bends not being to pitch and me trying to play faster than I'm capable of playing.  It's good to have another person posting recordings. It's the only way to really track your progress, and it also has many other benefits. Keep 'em coming. Phil |

Thanks Guys. I am happy with the playing but not happy with the tone of my guitar. I'll post more soon. I had the house to my self and was hopeful i could record up to Delta blues. I had some issues with my USB interface. I'm shopping fore a new one right now.
The white Les Paul is just like mine but I'm not much of a photographer (thank you pintresst for the images). It's an Epiphone Les Paul custom i bought from my brother the minister. I call her 'Trinity' for all the bible stuff and it's white color. I'm on the hunt to white it all out...pick guard...knobs....pickup rings. I love that guitar...

Welcome (edit: back) Marc, thanks for sharing, now you're really on board  . I must say that was very accomplished for a first posting how long have you been learning/playing for? EDIT: Sorry Marc, I've just checked out some of your threads and you've been around the forum way longer than I have. |

Marc sound excellent, much better than my first one, I still have a problem getting timing on that tune but it is one I play a lot when I am just messing around. Keep me coming.

EDIT: Sorry Marc, I've just checked out some of your threads and you've been around the forum way longer than I have. No worries. I've been coming and going from the forum for some time. I'm trying to stick around more this time though. Thanks for the kind words. I've been playing since the mid 90's off and on. Well more off than on. Took a few extended multi-year breaks. Always had gear around just not been able to pick it up. Working on getting back at it. |

Welcome to the club Marc, for the past 25 years or so I've been playing for a few months, taking a 5 year break etc. I'm hoping to stick with it this time too!

Marc you fit the MO for this forums members I think damn near all of have the same story. This group has helped keep me focused and playing almost everyday for better part of a year. So you will find lots of encouragement her.

Sounding good to me - Especially good for someone who's only been playing off and on since the mid-90's! It took me way longer than that to reach that level  Bruce |

Sounding good Marc, I can't find anything worth nitpicking darn it! You captured the feeling of the song quite nicely. |

So you will find lots of encouragement her. Now a dump question what is 'MO'? It's funny. After i recorded and uploaded it i was satisfied with it. Now i listen too it hours later.....I think what am i thinking!! I can always find things to nitpick about my own playing. I think the The guitar tone was a wee to over driven and the chords rthym was sloppy at parts and other should have been a played little clearer. I'm moving on to True Blue and theses two are now part of my warm up routine. |

it's funny you say that. I worked with a guy who used to say we should go our and knock off a gas station or steal a car. Those who do crime together do their time together stay together. I say BYCU form all go steal cars tonight....ok just kidding let's just jam on some slow blues instead. |
