Greg M - Funny you should ask as I've literally just finished recording my version of AWM,AWY and I'm just about to upload it. I'll let you know when its up on my IUMA.

Just uploaded my version of Always With Me, Always With You onto My IUMA. Please feel free to check it out and dont forget to leave me some comments.

Double post - please regard that the lead line was done in one take and isnt exactly like the original

Plum Loco - I hope you like it

Mr. Nick - I kinda did the backing track myself but used a lot of copy and paste if you know what I mean. Thanks for the kind words.

Stu Clone - I know what u mean regarding the bends and the harmonics, but as I said, it was done in one take and the dominant 7th harmonic was completely by accident as I was holding the B down and out it came. As soon as I heard it I moved position and got one I liked. Thanks for the kind words anyway.

Orangade - Glad you liked it

Clarky - Isnt it a coincidence that the time you are online AVARICE posts also..........lol.

Thanks to everyone who has checked out my version Of AWM,AWY. For those of you who havent yet check it out at My IUMA and leave me some comments.

Plum Loco - Thanks dude for the kind words. I've been playing now since I was 9 so that would make (think, think, think)............14 1/2 yrs now as I am 24 ( I started playing after getting a guitar for xmas).

Michelle - Thanks a lot. Glad you liked it.

Hamdo - Thanks for the kind words. I would do a rendition of Starry Night except for the lack of a backing track and I cant be arsed doing one for it!!! lol.

Go to My IUMA and let me know what you think............please???

My quote of the day (inspired by the Homer one) "Hmm.........free goo"

Fusion5000 - thanks man. to get the link to work put a / before the last "link" so it would look like (change the brackets to square brackets) (/link).

Just a reminder for everyone who hasnt yet checked out My IUMA as Ive now got my version of Always With Me, Always With You uploaded. Go check it out and leave me some comments.

Hi all. Just wanted to post a message to say that I competed in a Karate tournament today and I came 3rd in the open Kumite (sparring), 2nd in Adult Kata and 1st(!!!) in Open Kata so im well happy!!!!

Clarky - How is the building a band thing going? Need a rhythm guitarist?? (hint, hint!!! lol) Maybe you could do what Sir Paul Mcartney (sp?) did where he had 3 big screens behind him each with him playing a different instrument of the same song on each so he was all of his backing band (hang on a minute, Paul Clark x4??? Scary thought)

Mr Nick - Ive got some sampled drum sounds that I did my t2j track with. Go and have a listen to my track clip over at www.talk2joe.com and if you like them and u r on msn we can sort it out.

Aarren

T2J CD - Can anyone let us know what the latest is regarding the t2j cd as, and i'm sure i'm not the only one, I am getting ancious/curious as to why it is taking so long??? I'm not having a moan I'm just curious........

Mr. Nick - My Always backing is now an mp3 file as I recorded real instruments not synthesised (ie midi ones) so it cant be converted to midi. Cakewalk help - I need to know exactly what you are using to get your sound into your computer and what you are using to listen back to it. Once I know what you are using I may be able to help as I use Cakewalk Sonar v.1 to do all of my recording (including my t2j track).

Still nothing from joe - surprise surprise.......

Havent been in for a while as ive just moved house from Kent to Warwickshire which, as im sure u all can imagine, was and still is a nightmare. I probably wont be able to check in as often as i dont have access to the internet until late july as I am having broadband installed then but in the meantime I will try and visit y'all when i can.

Regards,

Just got internet sorted.........

Whats the latest with the T2J Album???

Clarky - A couple of things - Whats involved duiring a PLEK (also what does it mean???), how much does one cost and where does one get one?

Cheers mate,

Clarky - Thanks for the info regarding the PLEK. I spoke to a guy at Chandler Guitars (Guilford I think) and he said that the PLEK thing isnt as good as its made out to be because the frets arent rounded by the machine - they are just flattened so he advised me not to have it done. Strange eh???

Trutina - Just a quick explanation of why I havent paid yet - I dont want to sound like an arse-hole but until I receive a contract regarding the use of my song and confirmation of production I won't be sending payment. It's not that I don't trust anyone its just that I am trying to protect my own interests and, to be honest, I don't know you from Adam. Like I said, i'm not trying to be an arsehole so PLEASE don't be offended. Also, I have moved house so if you email me at my new email address I can send you my new details. Heres my new email address - aarren.mowle@dsl.pipex.com.

Regards,

Trutina & all other T2J CD Contributers - I understand what everyone said regarding my comments and I am glad that Bil understood it in the way that was intended (love the Monty Python bit, by the way lol) but I havent received any correspondance regarding the CD other than what is talked about in here and on the T2J website. I am honered to be able to contribute to such a CD alongside all of you guys. I have no problems with making my contributers payment once everything is in place and I have signed a document to declare that my track still remains my posession and that I have some sort of (written) guarantee, signed by those producing the disk, that it is going ahead. Personally, I think that everyone should have done this as im sure we have all heard of internet scams and maybe ended up losing money in the long run.

The reason for me doing this is that I have had a song stolen from me by a well-known band (which WILL remain nameless) and it happened to do VERY well in the british charts.

PLEASE DON'T BE OFFENDED AS I REALLY DON'T WANT TO OFFEND ANYONE - BELIEVE ME.

If anyone wants to discuss this further please dont hesitate to email me at aarren.mowle@dsl.pipex.com

Regards,

Stu Clone - I have taken all of the neccesary steps to protect my song, its the permission to use it and proof of the cd production that I would like. If this is too difficult then I will proceed anyway and make payment. Im just asking for these first thats all.

Regards,

Webmaster - I dont know if anyone else is suffering the same problem but on the homepage the "Band & Crew" link doesnt work.

Regards,

Trutina - Many thanks mate and I look forward to receiving it. Thanks again. Did you read my post regarding my change of address?? If not email me and I shall send it to you at aarren.mowle@dsl.pipex.com

Avarice - Good job im thick skinned otherwise I might have been insulted by that!!! lol!!! nice post.

I will hopefully be making my T2J contribution within the next week (because of all the pressure from those un-named). All I wanted to do was to do things properly and professionally without the risk of getting ripped off again like I did before. All I have been trying to do is protect my own interests. Where's the harm in that????

ocps - I'm not annoyed/p***ed off with anyone I just disapointed that my feelings were disregarded by some people. Thats all. As far as I am concerned its a learning curve for us all and now water under the bridge.

Olly - I would like to tell you what the song is that got nicked but i dont want toend up with a nice law suit sitting on my door mat. Sorry,
