Out of the Red
Wed, 22 Aug 2007.
So I spent a lot of last night screwing around with a cable that I ordered over the internet. What sort of cable demands this sort of attention? A cable that lets me plug my guitar straight into my laptop without the added interference of adapters.
Incidentally, I found this cable for cheap on the manufacturer’s website. They undercut both the price at the Apple store and on Amazon. On top of that I manage to google up some promotional code and save another 5%. All in all, I paid about half as much as I would have at the Apple store.
Anyway I woke up this morning and decided not to rush to work. Instead, I recorded about a minute of myself playing guitar (a single take, so don’t expect a lot) and then tweaked it a tiny tiny bit with Audacity. If the guitar sounds kind of weird to you, it’s because I ran it through one of Garage Band’s filters so it wouldn’t be obvious that this is a very cheap and very mistreated electric guitar.

PS. Dear God, I sound like Chase. I always suspected this.
Ah, the early hints of an accent.
(I can’t tell what’s good or bad guitaring, so well done!)
I’m developing an accent? I haven’t noticed.
pew pew pew!! Juckles talking!!! I haven’t heard that in ages!!! IMISSYOUJUCKLES!!!! ;_;
God, I hate you.
I’ve forgotten how much nostalgia a voice and a single acoustic evokes.
It’s late and I miss you a lot Jack. You should be here listening to my late night whining/bemusings. And…I am never going to admit how close I am to tearing right now. :(
Aww Addy… ;_;
these wimmenz are throwing themselves at you Jack! Why are you still in Seattle?!
Wooot, ever”more”! Break it down, little brother.
First of all - jack still sounds likes jack, no accent what so ever i.m.o. (I added the punctuation for extra correctness). AND I don’t want to sound a TO queer without losing any of my masculinity,BUT I didn’t think some basic guitar chords could make me miss a good friend. Your soundin’ far better than I do on guitar that for sure (two thumbs up). Get some Coldplay or Damien Rice up on this mother(BEEP) ;-)
Motherfucker, Mike. Motherfucker.
That sounds pretty awesome Jack.. kinda reminds me of Smashing Pumpkins.
