Anthony's right. There is some software that can sometimes remove or isolate vocals, but that's easier technology because voice has a relatively narrow frequency range and usually is panned to dead center in the stereo mix.
To learn a guitar part,…
I bought an Edirol R-9 2-3 years ago that I really like. A bandmate uses a Tascam that does a great job too. Interestingly, I do most portable recording these days on my iPhone using the FiRe Recorder app. Times change.
Two posts so far: tapping the strings or literally using the guitar body percussively. Cool. There is another perspective, perhaps what Jan has in mind. That is muting at key rhythmic points in the strum pattern, often on "2" and "4" to create a bac…

It's received a ton of media attention, and ironica…
Basically that's Maybelle Carter's approach used on modern tunes. Listen to her pick Wildwood Flower or The Storms are on the Ocean. Notice meoldy picked with bss in thumbs, emphatic downstroke with fingers, and occasional lightly up picked single n…

Can you give more specifics about this? (location, time, website, etc.)
its just a percussive technique with the right hand... takes practice but its good for solo acoustic stuff especially... learn why georgia and it will help you with it.
Agreed - this is tapping style. Maybe Andrew White?

A place for players around the Midwest States to gather for fun, passion, and picking. Also a place to post announcements for festivals, recitals, and acoustic jams for all.
From what I can hear Mayer is playing most of his melody notes, certainly the strong ones, on the downbeat and when one falls on a backbeat it's just top note of the chord so he's hitting it with the downstroke. They sound much weaker, I don't think…
