17 noodles

Here is a quick improvisation using only the effects of my used Alesis multimix 8 mixing board called 17 Noodles. A surprising aspect of the guitar was how easy it was to adapt to 17 equal fingering. With some adjustments I can play 12 equal equivalents – and of course do more.

About two thirds through you will hear me switch from neck to bridge pickup. I particularly like how clear the full barr hammer ons came out at the end. As far as tuning the guitar – I tuned it as it is were a 12 equal guitar except I used the 7th fret – and 6th fret for the "B" string.

That's a cool laid back sound Chris. I feel like acoustic instruments
let alternate tunings shine (unlike most synths...)
I have the same mixing board btw, are you recording through usb or main out?
I ask because I've been having some trouble getting mine to agree with
garage band and if you are using USB I'd be curious as to what you use
and what you're running.

I don't use the USB interface - I found it buggy as well - I run Vista 64
service pack 2 on my music computer.
So I use an M-Audio 2496 soundcard and connect to the 2 track RCA output
jacks - however I'm not too happy with how it performs. It is only adequate
because of buggy drivers.
