Spotniks "Orange Blossom Special"

[ecca]

I got Cruel Sea, problem was getting it at the right speed.
At 94BPM it's just about playable with a pleck, at 98BPM it's not.

It's Orange Blossom Special BT I can't find free. ( Except for tame Johnny Cash versions )
( And I'm buggered if I'm going to spend £12 odd to see if I can play it !)

Speed is 141BPM, it varies loads but that's about the average.

Ecca, do us a favour and send me a bit of midi that you have done in BIAB(anything will do....perhaps countryish), so i can try it with my new sound module to see if it sounds any good....then i'll play some more party pieces Well maybe not....

If you're going to have a go at OBS, i quite like this version.......

Johnny Hiland ??????
He's not human, nobody can play like that.
Goodness !

Oh sorry Sos ! I didn't realise that was you playing so beautifully ! I was expecting Orange Blossom Special.
I'll attach a midi file of Larkrise which is all I have left in the raw after my computer decided to lose tons of stuff just to annoy me.

I had to zip it, It wouldn't let me send it as mid. file.
I doubt you'll be impressed, listen to what I did with it on the Apache section, sorry, I mean the soundfile section, it should still be there.
You have to have real drums and real instruments in BIAB to do justice to things.
I tend to use what it generates as wav files and then cut and chop them up in Adobe Audition, the real drums generated can be stunning.

PS the 3 quidder is ridiculously fast, impossible.

Here is our very own Abel proving it can be played fast

[ecca]

Brilliant, my mate Abel !
And.... he showed us how to do it down the bottom .
Fantastic.

[Paulps]

If you watch Abel very closely, you will see that his fingers never leave his hands!
Well played Abel!!

[ecca]

Good old Abel, I never thought of doing it like that !

Yes I know it's crap, but you got to start somewhere !

Good ol Abel I thought of him when this thread came up... I think sweep pickin is probably where its at

I love those 'Train' chords on the guitar are they Min6 or something I play them in Ghost train when I play that.

Ecca you talk too fast

[sausage fingers]

Ecca thanks for the BIAB file, had a quick listen, but will have more time tomorrow.....
Here's a train type triad/chord.....for anyone who may be interested....

strings 6 5 4 3 2 1
frets x x x 10 9 10
Bend up the 3 and 2 strings, basically a d7 style shape with the 2 and 3 strings bent up a half tone to produce a major chord. This is at the 9/10 th fret for a d resolution, 11/12 fret for an e etc. Use the pinky on the volume to give the swell effect at the same time as bending.
Anyone interested in any more let me know.
