Greg, The Harmonics At The End Of Your "Doubtful Bones" Reminded Me Of Kottke's "Easter" ... Enjoyed The Entire Song ... Excellent Work Sir ... Curious How You Recorded That One As Wondering If You Split The Guitar In Stereo As Sounds Like One Solo Performance And Not An Overdub ... I Have Been Experimenting With Mic'd/Direct Split Pan Capture With Good Results ... Also Intrigued By Your Bio As My Son Is Also A Long-Time Drummer Turned Singer-Songwriter-Guitarist ... (:>o) ... Best Wishes For Wherever Life & The Music May Lead You ... J Nelson K
Hi J Nelson, thanks so much for listening! It was great to hear the Kottke comparison, since the title of that tune was inspired by a story he told at one of his live shows that I attended. It was my attempt to figure out his thumb technique, which I never really did, but I got a tune out of the process. Oddly enough, my only exposure to him is the live shows I've seen. The recording setup was inspired by Antoine Dufour's youTube short series of "Into the studio" videos. You're right they aren't an overdub, just 2 close mics in front panned hard left and right. I had a third mic on my acoustic amp in another room (for center/bass) - Antoine used a direct line on his. I recommend your son listen to as much Willy Porter as he can - a fantastic singer and writer, and a truly gifted acoustic guitar player; one of my original inspirations! Oh and if you want to hear my drumming, just search for The Getaway Drivers :) Be Well - Greg
