Fragile - Les Cheetham

[guitarfreakirl]

Hi,

What model McIlroy guitar is that please?

[lesjcheetham]

The McIlroy is an A25 - a Cedar top with Walnut back and sides.

[Moogletastic]

I had lessons from this man along time ago and wish i'd of kept them up because he is just the master. Great to hear you play les. This track was always one of my favourites

[TheScourgeResistant]

Very, very good.

[xaenimadotnet]

He got a record deal, in '84. ;)

Beautiful music man!

[angelproducer1]

This piece of music sounds so inspirational thank you so much for posting it. I love how you play the guitar with such passion. How long have you been playing? I hope you don't mind me asking.

[lesjcheetham]

Thanks for your comment! I've played electric guitar for over twenty five years - but have concentrated more on acoustic for the past five years or so.

I want you tunes, they on itunes?

[lesjcheetham]

Not at the moment - but there should be an album available there by mid September.

Beautiful sounds. I see you are using capo, do you tend to use standard EADGBE tuning, or what?

[lesjcheetham]

I tend to use alternate tunings quite a bit of time - this one is D G D G A D. A couple of recent tunes are in standard tuning with a partial capo (leaving the high E open). This gives a similar feel to an open tuning - but without the hasstle!

[lesjcheetham]

I bougnt it from a company in England called Nusystems.

[umz360]

I run Tracktion as well through Tascam US-122. Where did you purchase the mic?

[umz360]

What are you interface are you recording through? What kind of mic? Great stuff keep it up!

[lesjcheetham]

Thanks for the comment! I use a Studio Electronics Se2200a Mic and record into a sequencer called Tracktion via a Mackie Spike USB interface. The only effect that I use is the SIR freeware reverb.

Do you have a cd or some recordings I can purchase or download?

[lesjcheetham]

Thanks for your comment. Within the next few weeks I'm intending to do some recording. It will most likely be an itunes stle download - so do check back!

[ejvsop]

definitly, thanks.
