And I thought your first post of this video was good. This was amazing. The song was beautifully picked (I'm always very envious of the clear, true notes you always get when you pick) and the solo sounded great. I know we're all on a "let's sing!" kick (which I love), but I'm not sure adding vocals is even necessary. I think it sounds perfect as a solo acoustic piece. Just my opinion, of course.

How fun to just play and listen to something that just rolls along, with a nice rhythm and pretty notes. Sigh .... now I need to add this one to my list. Beautifully done, and thanks much for sharing. I also heard more bass notes than high notes, and again, that could be a camcorder problem. I will know to watch that in my own recordings.... if I could get off the forum long enough to actually learn to play something. Izzy

That is just really excellent Jay, smooth, steady as a rock and clear as a bell. You really polished it up. Great Job!

Thanks again to all for the feedback. I agree that my updated version is too fast. It's amazing how I'll make a concerted effort to start off slowly, but mid-way through the song, I'm back to my old tricks of playing too quickly. It detracts from the song, no question, so I will continue working on that. As for my gear, I have managed to get a reasonably good sound with a fairly rudimentary setup. My Alvarez acoustic/electric is plugged directly into the "line in" port of my computer. I record the audio with audacity, and the video with my webcam. The two are combined using windows moviemaker. Using audacity, I can make a separate "vocal" track, but I've only done that once and haven't yet found another song to try that again. I'm working on Streets of London currently, so maybe that will be within my vocal range. Hard to say at this point.

Whatever you're doing, it sounds great.

Excellent.
Really got it nailed now.
Even the solo was spot on
