The Capo + TapeDeck Challenge

I was playing a riff this morning that I was asked to learn for my guitar lessons. A few experiments later, and I got this neat recording out of it:

It took a few takes to get this, but that's the fun of TapeDeck! You hit record, play the guitar, and be prepared to repeat yourself until you get a take you're pleased with. Once you're happy, use the 'Send to YouTube' feature to share what you've done!

If you want to participate, grab a copy of Capo and TapeDeck. If you don't already have it, get your hands on "Money For Nothing" by Dire Straits, and see if you can figure out the riff using Capo. If you already know how to play it, that's fine too…

Finally, record yourself in TapeDeck, and send your recording to YouTube. Post it as a response to my video, and they'll all be gathered together for all to see. It doesn't have to be an accurate rendition like the one I did, either. Pull out your acoustic guitar and make a cover, perform the whole song on a piano, or even sing! Pick your poison…

The trial versions of both applications will allow you to join in on the fun, so anyone can participate! I'll be sure to post my favorite responses after the weekend.

(I'm going to try and do these 'challenges' fairly often, because it's a lot of fun, and I need to learn new stuff almost every week for my guitar lessons anyway. Also, it'll hopefully keep Capo users on their toes, learning new material by ear regularly.)
