As promised, me pissing about on the bongos

. I finally found software that resynced the audio as such, although the original was far better imho. Who is next?

Comments appreciated Bongo Ogg

Thanks Hun', you seem to be the only none so far

. I DID say that I'd post this asap, having the impression that I've been overdoing the 'youtube' of late. Just watched it and it makes me cringe, the mistakes I made through not warming up first

Bongo man Ogg.

If there were mistakes they were covered well.

Mistakes? Ummm....well, I guess I'm not trained enough to know.

Im self taught on the bongos and have received many favourable comments, which is nice

. I'd appreciate comments regarding technique, etc etc. I tend to practise a single rhythm for a given time, basically using variations of the same theme then I'm on to something else. It's difficult to remain objective concerning one's own playing. I think I'm proficient enough although I'm more than prepared to listen to advice...however scathing

.
Personally I thought Elfie's 'Mood for a Day' was excellent, wins first prize for the best 'By-Tor UTube' Trophy, second can only be my Bro Hairy for his AC/DC groovin' and may I say that the 'Josh Ogg' clip is indeed worthy of a bronze!
The real test comes when I post new 'HusK' stuff with my new kit

You asked fer it bro. Here comes the scathing.

1st........................... I'm white, how could I possibly know the correct technique for bongos????

(And no, that's not meant to be racial by any means)

Actually all I know about bongo/Conga technique is what I learned in college. It is a combination of palm heel, and finger tips that make the bongo/Conga thing work. But, as long as the thingie sings........................it's workin.

*shrugs* Dunno. You'll have to ask her.

ElfDude · Post by **ElfDude** » Wed Feb 14, 2007 2:30 pm

Why? You're the one volunteering her services...

awip2062 · Post by **awip2062** » Wed Feb 14, 2007 2:38 pm

I wasn't volunteering her services, I was just mentioning the fact. *sigh*

Men!
