Searching the site, I found an archived topic "How would you do distance collaboration?"banjohangout.org/archive/183695

We're giving it a shot at the Flatpickers Hangout in our Collaborations Group.
flatpickerhangout.com/group/collaborations

All instruments invited and encouraged.

If you need any ideas, you might wanna contact Doug Knecht. If i remember, he was doing quite a few online collabs, and is a really nice guy. I did a few with him and enjoyed it thoroughly.

Hi O.D.,
<<would I need to join the flatpickers hangout?>>
I think you would have to sign up at the Flatpickers Hangout. You could download Collaboration tracks and add your own parts, but would have to be a member to upload the results and post comments.

<<How do you get involved in this?>>
Apart from that, your involvement would be "ground floor," helping us figure out that same thing. We've accomplished a few, but it's still a work in progress, and we can use all the help we can get!

Luke,
Thanks for the info. I read Doug's Bio. He would be a great help to us, but I don't know how to go about asking. Maybe he'll read this...

Tom

just shoot him a private message and i'm sure he'll be willing to give you advice, shoot he might even like to pitch in. Who knows.

I just sent him a friends request. I told him you said he'd help. LOL, just kidding about throwing you under a bus, but I did say you suggested him as a valuable resource, and asked for his help.
Thanks,
Tom

Ive been involved in quite a few online collabs via the hangout and youtube (video collabs). You should check out 'the kidd', here on the site. He's been the engineer and player on many a collab.

Thanks Tom! Been enjoyin your tunes over on your FHO page. As soon as I find out how to join this "My Hangout" Ill be able to comment and join up with you guys. I posted about it in the website/help forum. Kinda confused at this point?..Isnt FHO the "fiddle hangout" as well?..Ive never heard of this" My Hangout" I was going to join MHO about a week ago and it ask for my "My hangout" username and password?. I thought?, must be a secret club cause Ive been here since 04 and never heard of it... Are you a member of "My hangout"?
