Awesome job! What are you running your guitar thru? Nice acoustic sound.

Thanks for the comment Jimi!

I have the guitar going through a Radial Tonebone PZ Deluxe preamp, then into a Yamaha EMX312SC mixer. The mixer is connected to a Line 6 KB37 audio interface, which is in turn connected to my Macbook which is running Garageband.

Next time I do a video, I think I'll go back to mic'ing the guitar and bypass the preamp and mixer - I'll have more control over the vocal and guitar levels post-recording, plus the Taylor's natural sound should come through much better. The Radial preamp does a decent-enough job enhancing the signal from the pickup, but it just doesn't match that natural acoustic tone.

That was great. I am currently trying to learn a Warren Zevon song called Keep Me in Your Heart.

Cori & Jay, belated thanks for the nice comments - glad you enjoyed it.

Jay - Keep Me In Your Heart is a great song! Especially poignant, considering how close to the end of his life he was when we wrote it.

Jeff
