50-second acoustic ditty complete with TV background noise!

Trying to isolate my thumb thumping for a bassline. Nearly getting it but a ways to go yet! Major scale on the three string.

Thanks Nancy.  I think I will have to redo the video now I've got the new tablet. I've not tried the video camera on it yet so hopefully it will be better quality. I'll also shoot it earlier so it's not so dark lol. Living in the grim north of England in the autumn doesn't help with light for video making but I'll definitely reshoot it I reckon. Thanks again Nancy :o)

Thanks Derek,! I'll look forward to when it gets easier lol. Just my thumb, I think it must be cut off from the nerves or something!

Got it going good, Bear. It gets easier and easier.

I used a really cheap, bottom line tablet to record it Uncle John. Just been out and bought a much better quality tablet so hopefully it will be a marked improvement on the next video. Glad that you thought it sounded good :)

Bear, does your computer have Windows Movie Maker?  A lot of them do.  It lets you adjust volume and lighting.  This one sounded good, just too quiet.

Comment by Slow Blues Dani & Ol' Grey Bear on October 10, 2017 at 8:01pm

Thanks Andries. I'll try to correct the sound and lighting issues as much as I can. I agree, practice makes perfect and I'm going to keep practicing for sure.

You still have this volume issue !your camera mic is or to far away or the Tv to loud, and you had the lights out, you make it like a POP quizz ,Get the vingerpositions Folks, and win the Grand Prize!!

Haha Uncle John. I don't know what's wrong with folk's hearing nowadays! Nothing wrong with the video ;) Thanks Uncle John.
