Latest attempt at Apache

I recorded Apache this morning so thought I'd post it as it's been awhile since the last version and hopefully there's some improvement now.

It has less trem bar use than previous versions because I spent many hours today trying to learn a better technique and haven't got it mastered yet (well not even close) and there are the usual mistakes but I'm pleased with the tone thanks to Charlie's EFTP patches.
All the best

Definately getting better Rosemary. I can see a real difference from a few months back 8-)

My, ye must be a tiny wee thing then :o That Strat looks massive on you :lol:
You should purchase a 3/4 one then you will look like one of us big people :D

Hi Ecca and Hugh
Thanks for listening and your words of encouragement :)
Sorry Ecca - will try to remember next time. :)
Hugh: I'm about 5'3" (we've been metric out here since my final school years but I've never totally switched over) and have also noticed the Strat looks a bit bigger on me. That's also why I asked once about the Burns guitars. I really love their tone too and have never seen one close up but they always look considerably bigger than a Strat.
Best wishes
Rosemary

Glad to hear you are 5'-3" and not some stupid metric equivalent of 1.3287m, or some such nonsense :roll:

You'll look taller.

Mark: I'll take your word for it
Ecca: How will I reach the volume pedal?

Hi Ecca
I'm starting to think this solution might create occupational health and safety issues :)
All the best

3/4 size Strat is still the best solution. Of course you could always sit in a chair like most of the players here and that would solve the problem.
