Name That Tune

[Sweb]

For you Kottke afficienados, please name this tune. I know it's one of his songs but I can't remember the title or which CD it's on. This is about a 60 second clip. I want to get the CD and learn to play the tune right.

If anyone is interested, this is a completely dry recording of a Larrivee OO-05 Spruce/Hog thru a Shure SM57.

No idea. Heck, just make your own song with it, who's gonna know?

 

Or, start from there, make a bunch of stuff up around it, then ditch the original idea. If anyone asks, you can say you were "inspired" by Kottle...

from Standing in My Shoes. also available on John Fahey/Peter Lang/ Leo Kottke

 

sounds good. nice work

[Whalebot]

Awesome Sweb, I really like it. What did you record with (mic to pre-amp to computer? which program?)

[guitarist21]

Your guitar sounds great, Sweb! Good work.

Thanks for the listen everyone and positive comments.

 

Hey, Queequeg, Standing In My Shoes? Is that the CD or the song title? I'll check it out.

 

JT - Don't I wish.

 

Wale - Shure SM 57 about 18 inches away pointed at the 10th fret thru a cheap Behringer UB802 and then into the soundcard. The software is Acoustica Mixcraft v2.01. You can get a free download demo. Tuning is Drop D, though Kottke probably uses some other recipe. Mixcraft is very easy to use - don't even need instructions - and has all the FX and mix-down gizmos that can be called up with their stand-alone control panels. I think the software cost me somewhere around 45.00 but I think it's a good'n for the money.

Good job Sweb. That is a real fun piece. I enjoyed it very much.

 

I have no idea what it is, so I'm sure that queg has it right.

Yea, I just re-read his post and saw the title "Cripple Creek". Now I remember it.

 

Thanks RT1.

Sweb, I agree with eveyone that says "sounds good". As you know, I'm a big Leo fan, but you do it justice and the Larry sounds great. I think it is also on the Anthology and for some reason I thought it was in open D (or a tuned down varient).

 

Anyway, good job and thanks

Freeman, you are probably right about the tuning. And, it is probably easier to play that way too. I have a tendency to turn mole hills into mountains.

 

Thanks for the listen and compliment.
