a crank’s progress

After watching this shredding, I wondered what on earth I was doing with my lo-fi noise.

Not that I let it stop me.

I decided to try some stuff to see if I can get GarageBand to behave. I created a garageband user account with no applications running (no browser, no mail, nuttin’). It worked OK for a while but I still found that any attempts to record or even play along on a second track didn’t work. The audio effects would just drop out. Recording continues but you can’t hear what you’re doing. Takes some of the fun out of it.

Some more odds and ends.

This is most of something a band I was in longer ago that I care to think (20+ years ago? Ack). I forgot how it goes part of the way through and I’m sure there’s a middle 8: just can’t remember it. It was written for us by a guitar teacher we had in common.

This second bit just emerged as I was tuning. I’m thinking I have heard it before, but not sure where.
