After playing for one year...

I recorded these three songs in a "quick 'n dirty" setup, with little or no mixing and EQ. Each song was recorded in a single take, not cobbled together from different performances. It took a few passes to get an acceptable version of each. You will hear the click track in each song. Playing to a click is hard; playing to a slow click on "Dusk" is even harder!

These are all pre-recorded "jam tracks minus drums" from the books indicated below. My next MP3s will be original tunes and I will play guitar on them.

"Rock Play Along" from "The Ultimate Beginner Series- Drum Basics" by Sandy Gennaro, Mike Finkelstein and Joe Testa

"Purple Rainbow" and

"Dusk" from "The Drumset Musician" by Rod Morgenstein and Rick Mattingly
