Tune I Wrote and Recorded..Flame Away :D

Well, after losing my job back in May, I decided to get one of my Trumpets back... I need a change..

So one of the city's biggest contractors said he'd pay to get it out of the shop since I don't have the budget for it right now. I'm picking it up tomorrow!! Woo Hoo!!

Anyway, so I wrote this tune from scratch last week, played the head and out on my Flugel Horn (yuck!) - I used my Roscoe via my little practice amp, too.

He's the kicker, I played keys via usb keyboard into GarageBand - I'm HORRIBLE at keys, so just deal with it. LOL I used a drum groove from GB, too. Well, since my MBox and Protools setup is down (plus I don't like using it cause it's a PITA), I had to record via the mic on my MacBook Pro for both the Flugel and Bass. LOL

All in all, I did it anyway. I'm sure I'll arrange it differently, re-harmonize and change part of the melody (I drifted FAR from the actual melody

) at some other time, but I had a deadline for it (shut it, Pacman).

I like that ... in fact, I think it's more suited for flugelhorn than trumpet. Maybe put a little reverb on the horn?

Wow. I'm impressed. You're not just another OT hood rat after all!

On my way to go pick up my trumpet!! Woo hoo!

Very nice! I'd like to hear that on trumpet as a comparision. Some parts of that would sound really great on muted trumpet, I think.

Hey!! good effort... That flugel horn sounds alright to me, no problems. Just needs a little more variety/layering in there... maybe a GB jazz guitar? Keep going with it .. great stuff.

i didn't realize i left it there back in 2001!! on the receipt, the store owner wrote on it, "Paid In Full - CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?"
