Members kwakatak Posted March 6, 2007 Author Members Share Posted March 6, 2007 I like the Larri too. The only thing I'd suggest is to play it with a little more spirit, snap. That's what I was thinking. The Strat version has more of that "snap" because I recorded it in the afternoon. The Larri tracks were laid down after midnight when I was in a mellower mood.

Members Dan Hall Posted March 6, 2007 Members Share Posted March 6, 2007 Great song Neil. I like the Larri naturally. My main impression though is that's three more or less identical takes with very little by way of goofs. I have a fingerstyle tune I've been playing for 40 years now and I can't get through it even once without making some timing or fretting goofs. I mentioned once before that my pinky doesn't work very good any more. Anyway, good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is my OCD showing or what? http://media.putfile.com/Pickin-in-the-Kitchen-03062007A-RVB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Hudman Posted March 7, 2007 Members Share Posted March 7, 2007 I liked that better. The tone seemed less bass heavy, the tempo had a bit more energy and the dynamics had more SNAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Leave it to JT to call out what was missing! Here's what I did different this time: 1: recorded during the daytime (in a sunlit window! ) when my ass wasn't quite dragging yet 2: played standing up (strap tied to the headstock) 3: used palm muting on the bass strings and dug in a little more with the fingertips on the higher strings 4: stepped further away from the microphone so that I was more like 18" away (thanks for the suggestion, Hud! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kwakatak Posted March 7, 2007 Author Members Share Posted March 7, 2007 What is these tracks/album you guys are putting together? About a month ago one of the regulars here suggested we do an album to share amongst the group.

Members Hudman Posted March 7, 2007 Members Share Posted March 7, 2007 4: stepped further away from the microphone so that I was more like 18" away (thanks for the suggestion, Hud! ) I'm glad I could help. I had a similiar problem with the bass end on my spruce / rosewood Masterbilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dan Hall Posted March 7, 2007 Members Share Posted March 7, 2007 Neil: Pace was perfect that time, I think. Are you still using an SM57? or am I thinking of somebody else? I still think that your larri has a different Bass tone than you're getting on the recording. What about that over the left shoulder pointed at the 12th fret business that some of the guys are using? Getting to know your tune pretty good now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
