Justa Picker Justa Pickers's Guitar Sound Clip (15) RE: Justa Pickers's Guitar Sound Clip 19 May 05


You guys/gals are all very kind and I appreciate the nice comments.

It is in MP3 format.

For my standards, I consider the recording very very raw for several personal-taste reasons. However because this tune represented about 2 weeks of practising, arranging, re-working and recording, I wanted to keep it for posterity (while I work on re-doing it and getting it right - to my ears) so it was mixed down rather hastily and then dumped onto my hard drive and professionally-speaking the overall mix is pretty shitty. I hadn't actually intended to share this (as I don't believe in sharing works in progress), but another thread on the forum gave me the impulse to just go ahead and do it what-the-hell.

I used 3 Martin guitars and 3 tracks to do this song. The primary track is what you hear on the first run through at the beginning (1976 Martin HD-28) which goes all the way through the tune, and then later I overdubbed the fills on a different guitar (a recent, custom Martin OO-18 12 fretter) and then the solo was done on my 2002 OM-42). Everything was played bare fingered (bit of nail but mostly skin, ala Mark Knopfler style :-) No song title yet, but if I could afford them I'd get Taj Mahal and perhaps Bonnie Raitt to sing a verse or two of "The Glory of Love" over some of the chord changes. :-)

Regarding the reference to that "Dylan" tune, I did all the instruments and just brought in a female singer/friend to do the vocal. Cheaper than hiring a band. :-)

Again, I am most appreciative of the kind comments and thanks again.
I'll let y'all know when CD II is ready when the time comes.
(It's gonna be a few months yet.)
