    LIVE JAM 2 NITE!!!
    ''Good crunchy playin' there Eric. Just like you were standin' up there live.''
       --Brown Ale Guy

    LIVE JAM 2 NITE!!!
    ''Good Chicago style playing, liked it. Guitar interplay threw you a loop, need to tighten it up. Mix was good but overall volume a little low on my cans. Or maybe Brobob's before you was too loud. Yeah, that's it.''
       --BeelzeBob

    Get Them Blues
    ''Track is nice and your not bad. If you could drive it a little harder you would have had the whole package.''
       --Ringer

    Get Them Blues
    ''I meant to say I commented on your last post twice, this one once.''
       --Lips Angelo

    Get Them Blues
    ''Actually Eric, I commented on your last post once - Walk Alone, but you mentioned that I hadn't voted and just commented that your tone was great and did your playing suck.....So I commented again and pointed you.''
       --Lips Angelo

    Get Them Blues

    ''Great, nasty tone and some fine playing Eric!''
       --Lips Angelo

    LIVE JAM 2 NITE!!!
    ''I liked the Harp playing,nice tone and up front in the mix loud and proud through that fender amp!I tend to do the same thing myself it was hard to hear the BT, over all you did real good...''
       --Bro.Bob

    Get Them Blues
    ''I really really like the balls out tone of your playing and the notes. You really enhance the backing track. It just pumps up the energy.''
       --Rick

    GridWalk
    ''What you played and how you played it, all sounded good''
       --Eric Stahl

    GridWalk
    ''Nice gritty blues. Always impressed by folks that can do it like that on the low F''
       --Brown Ale Guy

    Walk Alone
    ''Nice steady grooving playing with great Princeton tone.Yours worked better than mine, which is also steady simple grooving, but first position''
       --BlueInGreen

    GridWalk
    ''I like the deep gritty harp sound. Good strong theme. May sound better balanced if the BT guitar treble was cut back? (I guess I'm allowed to say that!!)''
       --tonedeft

    Walk Alone
    ''Yes Eric, I liked your tone, playing was fine man : )''
       --Lips Angelo

    GridWalk
    ''You did a very good job with this track. Tone was thick and snarly and your playing had a melodic feel to it. Good Post!''
       --Downhome Dave

    Walk Alone
    ''@ Lips Angelo: when you say "great tone", does that mean the rest sucked? No really, because you didn't vote. Though a comment is helpful with or without a vote, and I appreciate that you listened at all. I do. I do. I really do.''
       --Eric Martin

    Walk Alone
    ''Great tone man!!''
       --Lips Angelo

    GridWalk
    ''Good grit and well developed melody. Seemed to get behind the beat at times.''
       --roknwil

    GridWalk
    ''Nice work with the low F..''
       --Bro.Bob

    GridWalk
    ''wasn't trying to bust your balls but after listening I know your not a beginner and after reading some of your comments, your insightful and you give helpful positive feedback. thanks...''
       --Steph Wilson

    GridWalk
    ''I enjoyed your tone. I like some of your melodic work, other parts only loosely lay over the backing track. But oh man, a good effort. You got something there. I feel something. An energy.''
       --Rick

    GridWalk
    ''@ Steph Wilson. Thanks, Steph. I am slowly getting used to this website -- which is terrific. I really appreciate your and everyone's comments - very helpful. I am listening closely to all the new posts and will be giving back as good as I get!''
       --Eric Martin

    GridWalk
    ''really like the feel from this. good choice of riffs. really good stuff. Eric Ive listen to a couple of your post but Ive yet to see you comment on anyone elses. feel free to critique others thats what its all about.....''
       --Steph Wilson

    Walk Alone
    ''May have been tricky, but you found the right tone for this BT, IMHO. Needed a dirty sound and you delivered.''
       --BeelzeBob

    Walk Alone
    ''great job with this track enjoyed it greatly''
       --matt the welder

    Walk Alone
    ''Really pretty playing Eric. Loved it! Man, love Automata's dobro playing. Wow, what a combo.''
       --Rick

    GridWalk
    ''You weren't always in sync with the rhythm section, but I love the theme you developed, and build off of throughout the track. Nice one!''
       --Mark wilson

    GridWalk
    ''I screwed up the posting comment. This is miced through my amp on a pc mike. I like this BT and am trying to get ready to go on the road with Tonedeft if he will have me.''
       --Eric Martin

    Schimm Schamm
    ''Hey man, you got a big tone. I think you've been listening to BnG and are playing from your gut. Big meaty bends. Great stuff!''
       --Rick

    End of the Sidewalk
    ''You really overpowered the slide guitar with the amped harp.Sometimes after recording harp, just need to bring down the volume down and then relisten.This bt needs collaborative interplay with the guitar as a partner.''
       --BlueInGreen

    End of the Sidewalk
    ''Fat tone and nice 3rd pos. playing although some of the bend notes sound out of tune to me. Rhythm didn't always fit to what the guitar played''
       --Appleman Ed

    Schimm Schamm
    ''Nice and solid!''
       --Mc7

    End of the Sidewalk
    ''Good loF choice. I think the amped play overpowered the bt''
       --Eric Stahl

    End of the Sidewalk
    ''Good work experimenting with a different position Eric.''
       --Lips Angelo

    End of the Sidewalk
    ''Lots of tone and some low down feeling,but just did not work with the BT!''
       --Bro.Bob

    End of the Sidewalk
    ''Nice gritty tone you gave this one and the low F was a great choice''
       --htrain

    Schimm Schamm
    ''Nice fat tone and the timing really worked to get a great mood''
       --htrain

    Schimm Schamm
    ''There you go......who said you had lost it? Good post Eric....shows you got it when it matters....''
       --Peter Holliman

    Schimm Schamm
    ''Took it slow and played with some fat harp. Good stuff Eric.''
       --Lips Angelo

    End of the Sidewalk
    ''Hard charging. Maybe too much in some areas but i liked the overall feel.''
       --Mc7

    End of the Sidewalk
    ''Yeah man that is some fat bluesy tone. Another diffeent apmlified version and it works pretty good to my ears. Like the way you accent the guitar in some spots. Good post.''
       --BamBamBustaWhyte

    End of the Sidewalk
    ''your sheer amped volume may be a bit much for this track, takes away from the excellent slide. some nice 3rd riffs though''
       --Steph Wilson

    End of the Sidewalk
    ''Great dirt and grit and some powerful statements. But maybe went a bit beyond mood of the track.''
       --roknwil

    End of the Sidewalk
    ''Another fine version of this track. Harp may have been just a bit high in the mix.''
       --Downhome Dave

    End of the Sidewalk
    ''Liked your 3rd position version. Low F worked ok by my me.''
       --Brown Ale Guy

    End of the Sidewalk
    ''Why not a high F? in this register I think the harp and the guitar are in each others way too much.''
       --TK

    End of the Sidewalk
    ''raw dirty third. what more? great''
       --huhn

    End of the Sidewalk
    ''Sounds cool and fits the BT. The dirt and grit bring out the blues.''
       --harpletunnel

    Schimm Schamm
    ''Cool by me Eric. Mix might be a little high on the harp. Otherwise you fit in nice.''
       --Brown Ale Guy

    Schimm Schamm
    ''EM, good solid playing, you left some room for the band and did your thang!''
       --Ronnie

    8 bar Blues
    ''Nice job in general, when you started the high stuff it lost the feel a bit, but the turnaround riff at 2:26, I think, was sweet.''
       --BeelzeBob

    8 bar Blues
    ''Played well, even most of the high notes! Spoilt by clipping only. Two levels could be turned down to seek a cure. 1) In PC "volume control" Input Sensitivity of sound card input. 2) In Audacity Mic level slider. Clipping can happen at both those places.''
       --tonedeft

    8 bar Blues
    ''Some nice licks in there Eric, but I didn't care as much for the high notes. Some clipping mars the harp sound too.''
       --Brett

    8 bar Blues
    ''Cool stuff Eric. Hope you found some notes on audacity in the forum.''
       --Lips Angelo

    VegasCruising
    ''Eric, check out the Forum. Recording tips and tricks. All kinds of good audacuity info. BAG''
       --Brown Ale Guy

    VegasCruising
    ''I just don't quite understand the recording software. Anyone know of a good source for general info on how to use Audacity?''
       --Eric Martin

    Yank n Shank
    ''On this one, I just used the automatic "quick mix" effect, which mixed together the two stereo tracks of the backing track with my recorded mono track. I definitely need to work on this. I might even read the manual!''
       --Eric Martin

    Yank n Shank
    ''There is something wrong with your recording. It sounds like the b-track is doubled and out of sinc. I hear drum beats that shouldn't be there?''
       --dblues

    VegasCruising
    ''Nice smooth melodies. Many notes have a harsh recorded tone, amongst other notes that sound perfectly OK tone-wise. Is that the split octaves coming through much louder on the higher note of each pair?''
       --tonedeft

    Yank n Shank
    ''great harp play. mix level a bit lower for less clipping,harp itself sounded ful and fat.lol''
       --huhn

    Long Legged Women
    ''Clean beginning to end, not enough credit goes out for the ability to do that. In time, it rewards itself, I think. Not that I've ever done it. Nice job, a little repetitious, but nice.''
       --BeelzeBob

    Long Legged Women
    ''Cool stuff Eric, especially for a first take.''
       --Lips Angelo

    Long Legged Women
    ''Nice easy going acoustic harp.''

    ''Nice easy feel to this one''
       --htrain

    Long Legged Women
    ''great playing but you should have played a Bb harp in second position on this one :) I hear some nice bending by the way !''
       --Tonyh

    Long Legged Women
    ''Stayed well with the chord changes.''
       --tonedeft

    Long Legged Women
    ''Harmonica key on this was Bb, not A.''

    Marthas Tune
    ''Good jammin to a challenging track Eric and...welcome to the jam man!!''
       --Lips Angelo

    Marthas Tune
    ''Excellent first post. You picked a tough one to start but played through the changes nicely. Welcome aboard.''
       --roknwil

    Marthas Tune
    ''Excellent - the guitar and harp combine into a genuine two-part performance. That's not easy to do.''
       --tonedeft

    Marthas Tune
    ''Like the way you work the 'bleeds' - very effective''
