Time to Pony Up, Girls?

I'm in.

But ... I've been trying to get a ladies collaboration going for almost 2 years now to no avail. There's a female bass player, PRBlack, who has been waiting patiently for other women to agree to collaborate, so I feel confident that she will join in, too.

I may be wrong, but, I feel like our ladies are a little intimidated by our male counterparts and haven't yet developed a thick enough skin to take the criticism. I just wish that they would realize that no one here at GN is going to rag on a thing. They're only going to provide good, positive feedback and encouragement, which can only be a good thing in the long run. And, exercises like these, especially when you're feeding off of someone else, can only improve your playing and your improvisation skills.

So, I agree with Margaret, ladies! It's time to come out into the open and let it be heard!!!!

Well being a big fan of Susan Tedeschi, Bonnie Raitt ,Anna Popovic and Melissa Etheridge I think you girls have a really good shot at making the guys eat crow

Elektrablue, you're right, it can be intimidating. It's just so......PUBLIC! It took me a while to even get up the guts to post the invitation! :lol:

It's not about a competition for me--I am so non-competitive it's a detriment sometimes. Guess I'm chicken of failure.

When it comes to guitar playing, I am the bottom of the bottom, so no one will be eating any bird over anything I can produce, that is a guarantee.

No one I know of will be overly critical, I'm certain of it. In fact, if anyone were to be insensitive in their criticism, I'm fairly confident they'd get a trouncing by some of our brothers hangin' 'round here. 8)

I found everyone to be very encouraging and supportive when I participated in a jam. I see this as a chance for a few of us to have a fun, learning experience. So come on, sistas, let's REPRESENT! :twisted:

Margaret

Great idea Margaret! 8)

Glad to see Elecktrablue is in too. :D

FYI for those who don't know, Margaret has participated in an online jam, (the 1st GN female to do so! 8) ), and survived! :wink: She did a great job. If you missed it, check it out:

Oh Yeah! :wink:

Hey, maybe the bassplayer could get something going with a drum machine and get some backing tracks that everyone could play along with. Like a master track or something.

That's something I'd really like to see happening here. Completely original jams, even the BT being original and played by GN'ers.

Heck, we don't need a drum machine, we have at least one drummer kicking around here somewhere...... 8)

Hey Ladies,

The guys who participate in these online jams are all true gentlemen.

It's all about making music and having fun. No competition or
big egos to deal with.

Margret and Elecktra need 2 more for their Ladies Only team on this Jam.

Come on and be a part of Guitar Noise History with the first All Female Jam.

Let me try a little PM'ing and see if I can come up with someone. Worth a shot, I guess! :D

I'm in when I get a better computer. I play guitar and now BASS!!!

OK, Pearl!

Can you record with your current computer? It doesn't take a fantastic computer setup to be able to do it. I have a basic model, no fancy soundcards or anything and it works. I believe a Line In jack and the right cord/plug adapter is about all you need.

We can get better technical instructions and details from those who actually speak the language, if needed.

Can we count you in?

Margaret

Listen ladies, this is my jam and I will not allow any cheap shots which I know will not be a problem.

Nobody wants to put anyone down, no matter what. You are all safe here. I can pretty much guarantee that. They've never picked on me and you've maybe heard some of my zingers. :oops:

Please come have some fun. This is family, not Woodstock.

And Margaret, please don't say next year. I'm bored already. Let's get this thing running now. (J/K) everyone please take all the time you need. NO TIME CONTSTRAINTS. I'd like to see this continue on indefinitely.

No reason it should end.

I'll be over there waiting.

I'm going to post this over there in the other thread too, just for exposure.

Next year is only four weeks away, if you haven't noticed. :lol:

And you won't be bored for long. At least two guys have posted that they already have their parts recorded, so you'll surely have some mixing to do soon, Bish. :D

Margaret

I also put the universal (J/K) out there so you wouldn't take me seriously. :wink:

I got a PM from Pearlthekat and she said that she will have her new computer in about a month, so that will work out just fine! She has to decide between a Mac and a Dell.

Now we just need one more woman to complete our team!! Come on ladies!!!!!!
