Well this is nice -- using my stock @fedora desktop, I start up Guitarix and Carla, and start noodling like a noob on my guitar without thinking too much about setting things up, because @pipewire is excellent.

There's ways to go for this to be a *good* user experience, but it's still miles ahead of having to manually poke and prod to get some basics started, and some of the Guitarix fx sure are fun :)

Ковыряю тут.

Если прокатит, то будет песенка в очень низком строе (ниже, чем Drop D тут).

Даже решил попробовать гибридное звукоизвлечение одновременно медиатором и пальцами по такому поводу.

Кто узнал - тот молодец. Но пока ничего не обещаю - нужно чтобы немало факторов сложилось.

Одним из больших откровений в записи звука гитары для меня в своё время стало осознание того факта, что если гитара вне микса звучит как понос - это нормально.

Left-handed guitarists, rejoice! The next version of Fretboard brings support for switching between right-handed and left-handed chord diagrams. Thanks to Terrestrian on GitHub for suggesting this!

According to some, #WestAfrica is a hotspot of the most talented guitarists around. I agree, but I freely admit I've been biased for a long long time now.
This is Fanta Bourama by Djelimady Tounkara. Considering the above statement, he's mixing in so many styles in this, from #flamenco to jeli ngoni-innspired melodies to #jazzy chromaticism, with immaculate technique and flair, and he makes it all sound effortless. He used to be in the legendary Rail Band before going solo, and is rightfully considered an African #guitar hero. Though not as famous—globally-speaking—as Ali Farka Touré (who occasionally played with the Rail Band’s competition, Les Ambassadeurs), he’s of that same generation of musical pioneers.

Oh hell! Have Mansa as well; an atmospheric and expressive instrumental track progressing to a danceable groove.

Problem. When I joined the Almendros, I joined to play trumpet. I've been a #guitar player for a while, but here, like everywhere, has 1,000,000 guitar players, many substantially better than me, but very few #trumpet players. So, I figured, I could carve a little niche as a brass player. Setting up for practice and gigs was super easy. Showed up with my trumpet case, played, packed up - done!

However, our main lead guitarist has been phasing out, so after I joined, it was, "Kemi, can you learn this guitar part? Kemi, can you play a guitar solo here?" Didn't really like the tone of the guitar I was using, so I went out and bought one (Les Paul copy in the photo).

Then I wanted a new amp. Then I wanted new pickups. Then I thought, "I should get a better mic for my trumpet." Then I got another trumpet mute. Now I want ANOTHER new amp. And another guitar, why not. And a sax.

So now I got G.A.S. (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) real, REAL bad. Why was I never warned? I blame you all

#AudioMo: I present a 21-minute medley from my gig last Sunday in The Camden Club in London.
A Grenadian singer called Jonathan first performed one of his own tracks, then segwayed into a variety of other tracks, all whilst the house-band consisting of drums, bass, guitar and keys, kept the music going. Jonathan was also joined by a variety of other singers throughout the recording.
#Bass: Ryan W.
#Guitar: Titus M.
#Drums: Alex D.
#Keys: Andre L

So, after yesterday's trip and talk with the #luthier, currently sitting in my living room:
A fusion of an Irish #bouzouki with a Selmer-Maccaferri design D-hole (grande bouche) gypsy jazz #guitar. The #instrument varies in that it has a solid white cedar top, extra cutaway (making it a two-pointer), and a scale length of 674mm (26.54 inches). Well, and the Irish bouzouki setup with unison courses (in GDAD tuning). For the rest it's pretty much like the original 1930s design; down to ladder bracing and degree of curve in the front and back. And yes, the original laminated back and sides thing that created that distinctive gypsy jazz guitar sound; made famous by Django Reinhardt and his contemporaries.
The instrument is very resonant and dynamic, so the sound sample is me improvising something to showcase that. It was recorded in Logic with a Blue Snowball (cardioid condenser mic) and no editing whatsoever. 1/2
PS. photo coming eventually.
