Some of my recordings

oliverf

Hi everyone,
Just thought I'd share some recordings I made with my friend. Hopefully I'm in the right board. Don't click the file names, seems to be a bug there; click the play buttons instead or let them all play. Any feedback would be great. I know I meander a little bit, looking for the right sounds!
Cheers

Thanks. Just a regular 1mm pick and some Argentines, on my Gitane.

I like the songs, i listened to them all a good few times after while doing stuff at home, but you should definitely get the right pic. You'l be totally surprised at the sound if you've never used it before. I have one i made myself but i think the most recommended is the Wegen available on the site http://shoppingcart.djangobooks.com/Wegen-Picks
I just used the purple Dunlop 2mm when i was stuck 'cus i didnt have cash to order one on my college budget ha, because they were the only thick ones i could find in town. Some use picks as thick as 5mm but i'm not sure if i could. Mine is about 2.8mm

I know i'm going on about 'just' a plectrum but it really makes gypsy jazz, and i don't mean to sound condescending either, you probably know this already. Will like hearing more songs,
happy xmas
Dylan.
