Recorded a short song with my Yamaha LS6

Please excuse the sloppy lead playing... Was improvised in a few takes. At some point I'll actually write a melody instead of making one up and extend it with vocals and other instrumentation.

 

Thoughts?

 

Guitar is a Yamaha LS6 with Elixir 13-56 Phosphor Bronze nanowebs. Mic is a Shure SM81 pointed at the soundhole, about 6" off. Some light reverb, compression, EQ for the guitar effects and some tape simulation to glue it all together.

Nice. I liked the made-up melody.

 

You should team up with skatalite. I think you both have the same guitar and similar strumming styles.

[mparsons]

Thanks! These Yamahas are wonderful

Your band is pretty sick m/

 

and the song was pretty decent. Nice idea with the melody.

[Florida_Gator]

Very nice! I love mine, too!

 

Was the strumming the same guitar?

[rhancox]

It's got potential. I like the idea.

 

Need to move the mic up the fretboard a little to reduce the overpowering bass.

I think it sounds really great and I liked your playing. Nice little tune.

 

I really think those Yamaha L series guitars look nice. I have never played one myself and I want to thank you for sharing this clip as it confirms to me that this guitar might be worth checking out one day.
