Evening all,

Finally got around to recording my version of the second solo from Pink Floyd Comfortably Numb!! I love this solo, although my playing is hardly anything to write home about, it still is great fun to play. :D

This is also the first time I've sync'd a seperate audio recording to the video, rather than using the onboard sound recording on the video camera. It's a little better than previously as a result because the video camera's inbuilt sound balances out automatically, which meant that on every bass beat everything went quiet!

Anyhow, i'd appreciate any comments / feedback / pointers. :) I am working on this one to try and introduce different bits into it.

Thanks. :D I think I've finally found the settings on my amp to deliver a good tone for that song! Just wish the camera wasn't so indecisive about the focussing. :oops:

Here's yet another version! I thought I'd post in here rather than start up yet another thread about my continued efforts on this song! :lol:

Fantastic job, Yashi!

It's the rock that gives the stream its music . . . and the stream that gives the rock its roll.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. :-)

Yeah I think I've nailed a tone I really like for this song! I've also managed to get a reasonable sound quality when I record it after much experimentation of where to put the mic. Using just an mp3 player to record the audio part seems to require a lot of fiddling before I get the results I want! :lol:

Yashi that sounds good. If I saw you in a band doing that song I'd be hoot'n big time for you :)

Good Stuff..... Keep it up.

Great song too...one of my favorites and one reason why I wanted to play Guitar :)

:lol: I doubt I could play like that live! Thanks for the compliment though. I am intending to start doing live acoustic stuff at a local pub next year (new year's resolution! :-)) which will be a challenge! I want to get my singing sorted first though . . . :oops:
