Righto, when I import into Logic it speeds the audio way up. What rookie mistake am I making here do you think?

Erk... PC user with freeware here... Not qualified to answer. The file is MP3 @ constant 320kbs. Could change it to .WAV if you preferred?

Edit... potentially mac friendly uncompressed wav file (63MB) here

Wav should fix it, I believe its a known issue with catalina and mp3 files...

Man the spark is perfect for this, had the mp3 playing from my phone thru it while I noodled over the top, so good.

Ikr! Actually its prolly just laziness for me. :lol:
Maybe learn 1-2 licks, milk them into an 8-bar noodle.... then you could jump in on the jam! 😆
We played Hotel Cali last night and I did just flail my way through it semi-sucessfully

It's a Don Felder masterpiece which I've procrastinated for far too long to pick up the pieces of. Thought I'd blow the dust of my acoustic & start by plugging away at the chord structure, oh dear so rusty. High action, fingertips gone soft.

I was taught the solos by my guitar teacher, about twenty-five years ago. I have not played it or listened to it since.

Managed to finally get some time to sit down and play, amazing how fast the week goes.

Rig is Ibanez Jem with PAF Pro pickups into a JCM800 patch on the Axe3. Hopefully the link works! Took longer to figure out how to record it than to actually come up with something half decent. Good fun anyway. I will endeavour to figure out how to make it a wav file if anyone needs that.
