#1 resource for Cigar Box Guitars, Free Plans, How-To, Parts & More!

Cigar Box Nation is sponsored by C. B. Gitty Crafter Supply, your one-stop-shop for Cigar Box Guitar parts and accessories!

Let's give it a go.

Well, Sounds of the Nation asked me if I would record something for this project. I was highly flattered, but replied that I would record something once my local mini tour of village Halls and community centres was completed at the end of October.

The Nation replied that one of the tracks that I had posted on mt home page would do so here goes.

Details are a bit sketchy because it was an ad-lib recording that I did in order to test Audacity and see if I could post on the CBN.

For the sake of a title I'll call it 'Yellowbelly's Blues'. It is, I think in C. It's a slow 12 bar that uses a middle 8/bridge that incorperates the chords of E and D (I think) and has several examples of turn arounds at the end. It's about 2 and a half minutes long.

Good luck if you choose to become involved.

One thing tho. You need to include the project _data directory as well. Audacity will open the mp3. but if we want to add to it (if it were a multitrack mp3) we couldn't separate tracks.

cbg_slide.aup and cbg_slide_data. You're gonna wanna compress those and I will prolly say that it will be big. Real big. so do compress (.zip if you can).

Sorry Wes, but I have no idea about compressing or zipping files. Pointers please. Glad you enjoyed the sample.

That would be the zip, yes! But still needs the cbg_slide_data directory.

Good go tho!

How 'bout this...

Hi Yellowbelly Flatt

Check my last reply post to you, i upload your files and i named that winrar file with Yellowbelly Flatt.rar (21.8 MB) , inside that is your files.

I think at Winrar is easier to use than Winzip and also if you want make some files with scrambling, Winrar do it also.

http://www.win-rar.com/download.html

There you can find trial version , but it works still, when trial time is expired, there is only little disturbing note and you can click it away everytime when you use Winrar.

Technical merits aside, I have'nt been able to download either of your RAR files: I get an "Access Denied" message, which I think means the Ning software doesn't like the format.

Hmmm Same here Tres. Even right-click doesn't work.

Audacity stores its top-level information about the project in the .aup file, and keeps the actual sound files under a folder in the same directory, where the folder's name is the same as the .aup, but with '_data' tacked on. You uploaded 'cbg_slide.aup', which means that there should be a folder, 'cbg_slide_data', in the same directory. Wes was asking that you make a ZIP archive of the 'cbg_slide_data' folder and upload it as well.
