Here is a video of part of one my practice sessions. I was just getting into the swing of things when ...

"Hi Ken, It's me. Just a quick call to remind you to turn the volume down on your phone when you start recording a video. Hope all is well. Cheers mate." :biglaugh:
Double LOL. First the expression on your face Ken. Second, Eugene's post.

Hey...if I could get 4:15 of playing that well I could live with the last ten seconds of the phone ringing...

:agree:
You could maybe release a series of videos with a different ring at the end of each one

Hahaha. So it was you! I bet it was you flying that helicopter that spoiled a previous vid.
Yes, I was puzzled by the Tasmanian accent at the other end of the phone.
After the video stopped there were a few mild expletives too.

Thanks. This is how I practice. I just noodle along until I play something that I like.

I am building up quite a collection of "fail" videos now. Mercifully they don't happen too often.
Thanks for the comment, Paulie.

Now that was a look of disgust! (I enjoyed the heck out of the video though.)

Ken, I really like your playing! Nice reverb tail for the chroma key Church Sanctuary.
You could call that song "God Is Calling"

Now that is classic. :agree:
Of course, you could turn the "onoff" switch to the "off" position.

The phone hadn't rung all day - until I decided to press the record button.

Excellent !
Again it's the fastest thumb of England that makes the difference. Well done.
You might add some more reverb to get the impression of playing in such a huge church.

Haha. Thanks. Whenever I use more reverb I get criticised by some for changing the sound.
These videos were actually recorded in the church and you can get a a true flavour of the natural reverb. The church is all wood. Anne Davison and James Hill played a concert there last year.

Okay...wow! I've heard your video where you pick a bluesy version of Amazing Grace and that was great but this was downright moving.
You have to love those old churches with tons of hardwood every where. I was at a men's meeting in an old church like that (not as large, but hardwood everywhere - didn't even have padded pews or carpeting). There were about 300 men in there singing old hymns acapella and that was enough to send shivers up yer spine!
