Skill Swap - conga lessons in return for recording - London

Well, as per my previous posts, new to conga/bongo, loving every minute of it .....

I live in South London and have a fairly decent home recording studio and if anyone if the area wants to give me a few conga/bongo lessons, i'd be happy for them to come round and record demos or YouTube videos, or whatever . . . .

I'm mainly an electronic producer (jazzy house kinda stuff) and my setup would be ideal for a budding conga/bongo player who wants to do a demo or whatever but hasnt access to other musicians to do a full track. We can lay down some wicked beats and you could lay down your conga/bongo and show yourself off.

Just an idea ...... but if your interested, PM me and we'll go from there.

Thankyou Johnny, I saw them earlier today, although I only watched parts 1 & 2 and used them to help me tune up my congas, amazingly good help, thankyou.

Now i'm happier with my tuning (re: my other post) i'll set aside some time tomorrow to have a quick skat through your vids, then take em in turn, devoting more time to each over the coming months.

They are great videos by the way, very clear and precise for a newbie, top man :wink:
