The bass just fades away.
The guitars sound ok.

Thanks. I'll try it on various different outputs. Also up the bass.
Of course I'm not using an actual bass, it's played normally into Audacity then the pitch is altered to an octave down. Not brilliant but it gives some low end. So we'll experiment. I might do some examples here and delete them afterwards.
What worries me a little is that TOMMO says it sounds all right to him... you see the point? Is it me or the listener?

So plugged into my aux cable in my car, I can't really hear a bass line on any example. What I get is a big "swell" on that second chord (A note? I don't have perfect pitch) that reminds me more of how bass is felt in a hip hop track. It gets increasingly woofier in each example.
Just listening through my phone, I don't notice anything.
But like I said, the lack of bass never bothered me anyway.

Great tune! I used to know it well, but since my long-term memory is what it is, I had to to look at the lead sheet as I have not played it in a while. The play along I used only had one form of soloing, and also I love Jeff's short version... So here's: "Play one form, because there's 12 horn players lined up behind me to jam on it".

Jeff, always a great ice-breaker! Great version! Love the sound and feel!
John, really cool stuff. Really love those lines, wow!
Ragman, always a pleasure to hear your unique versions. You really have a great thing going with your acoustic approach!
I love Barry Greene's stuff. I find his website and lessons are great. I subscribed for a while and really dug it. It's all there, technique, theory, and I like the way he goes through the details of a tune.Last edited by Ronstuff; 03-12-2021 at 09:19 PM.

See, I'm wondering what TOMMO's got that no one else has...

Great melodic lines, Ronstuff and I love the tone of your Guild!

But I actually knew that the more bass the woofier, etc, which is why I minimised it originally.
But then I was told it hadn't got any bass...

This time I decided to play the whole beautiful theme and two improvisation choruses. I didn't want to show off my technical proficiency. I focused on the atmosphere and music. I like playing my Stratocaster more and more.

That's beautiful, kris! Relaxed and unhurried and your tone fits the tune well.
