Kingfisher Flyby (with boxer dogs running interference!)
So I decided to take the percussive feel of my last Open G posting and try to write something in standard tuning instead. Believe it or not this is the best take I could get and even this has some extra percussive effects from my boxer dog Edie. Play to the end to see just a handful of the gaffs, out takes and boxer related interference from Lyra and Edie that I had to endure to get this one down before finally giving in to their demands for breakfast!

Nice job @Moonhare even though things went to the dogs ha ha 😀 I moved to my camper to have a nice enviroment for practice and recording now interference free and the camper gets used in the winter

Brilliant. I normally keep the door shut but my wife was out so I needed to hear the front door. Dogs are wonderful but not when you’re playing! 😆

Your skills in such a short time amaze me @Moonhare . Really great oercussives and tune.
-
Hey thanks. Although I’m getting this nailed down more now there is a VERY long way to go with my flatpicking so that’s where I fall down.

Great work @Moonhare 👏👏👏 Your “local audience” was very tough, but you managed to handle it(lol)🤣 I can’t wait to hear the finished product👍👍
-
Thanks. Yes it was an interesting recording process. Will be working on some lead lines too then back to some flatpicking for December.

Maybe you can sit Lyra on your bench and use that waggin tail as a metronome. Mine was snoring next to me earlier which was a bit off putting.
-
Haha. You know I think she was actually in time with the music. 🤟😎🎸🐕

That sounds great Moonhare! It will be nice hearing the finished piece. Maybe feed your dogs first next time, and that will keep them busy. Lol I enjoy listening to your videos.
-
Thanks a lot. I’ve been doing more work on it and hope to play the full version for my family at Christmas.

Excellent sound! You have great feel and timing; and the tail had a pretty good rhythm also. 😀
-
Thanks. Certainly starting to be able to use that percussive slap a little more easily now.

We’re cat people but we adopted a Boxer a few years ago and that damn dog (Ted) was the smartest, sweetest, most beautiful animal ever. Despite being perfectly capable of ripping my arm out of the socket and taking the leash with it. My heart is still broken.

Yes @punder they wheedle their way into your life very quickly and become a part of the family. I know the bit about taking your arm off, lead attached. Came across a heard of 35 fallow deer on a walk one day and hanging onto Lyra was like flying a kite in a tornado!

wow @moonhare, that sounds great, nice to catch up with you in TAC!!!! 🙂

Hey thanks. I’ve worked this up and added more to it now so getting much happier with it. Good luck with your gig on 17th too. Really would like to see it so if there is a chance to record it for those of us that can’t make the actual date then that would be awesome. 🤟😎🎸

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day! Sounding great, while keeping it real. 😀✌🏽
-
So right! And don’t they let me know it.
-
-
Fun performance and sounding great @moonhare! 👏🏼At least your dogs come to listen. Mine runs away.🐶😉
-
I wish they would run away some times! Still so much fun having them around though.
-
-
Ha. Fun to share the gaffs. We all have them though we like to pretend we don’t.
-
Not worth preteneding here. I think I do 20 takes on average before I get something approaching a performance but I want to build that fluidity so I can eventually do one of the VOMs.

That was really fine @Moonhare . You provide us (well me at least) incentive to keep at it. Well played (and, since I have zoom bombing dogs who appear every so often, yours made me feel like it was a place to be.)
-
Haha – This seems to be a theme. Perhaps we need a Christmas B-Roll of everyone’s fluffs and dogs from trying to do these play for us vids!
