Starting to Record - New Live Course Exclusively on JamPlay
This 10-week course is all about getting started with recording. It's live, features interaction with the instructor, and is only available on JamPlay.com. Getting started with the recording process can be a daunting task. There’s so many ways to record, and countless pieces of software available. Paralyzed by indecision and a fear of the technical unknown, many aspiring musicians can find themselves stuck before they even begin. This course will greatly simplify the getting started process. It is aimed at guitar players who want to get started in recording, but have been putting it off because it seems too complicated or they just don’t know how to get started the right way. Recording can be one of the guitarist’s most cherished tools for several reasons. It is a perfect practice companion. It lets you focus on and react to your playing from a critical listeners perspective instead of always hearing your guitar as you play it. You’ll be amazed at the aspects of your playing you’ll hear in a new way when you regularly record and critique your playing. You’ll be motivated to change certain ways you do things. Your timing will improve. Even your phrasing and note choices will become more strategic and well-placed. This is all because you become the player and the critic! Recording is fantastic way to capture your musical journey through the years. Writing songs, recording performances over backing tracks, playing guitar on other artists’ music and making live recordings of gigs all collectively create a vault containing your activity as a musician. Looking back on your creative output as a guitar player is a rewarding part of playing! There are two types of guitar players out there: noodlers and artists. For the moment, forget about classifying your guitar playing as beginner, intermediate or advanced; instead think about what you are creating with your guitar playing. What are you doing with your guitar? Recording is one of the main ways you can begin to give yourself a reason to play. When you create music, even if it is simple music, you cross over from noodler to artist. Many famous and prolific songwriters throughout the decades were not fantastic guitar players. They simply focused on creating music with the skills they had. They honed their craft as an artist. It wasn’t amazing in the beginning, but it was something! Nothing ever happens unless it starts first, and we can get started today with recording!
