Hi All! A Zoom H2 owner here. I've used the built-in front mics a few times and found I was still picking up a lot of party noise - people talking, etc.
I used it just last week to record myself and a few other acts that were playing at a local Sta…
What is a sigh on youtube? am i missing something? Tim, could you let us know what your latest song is titled, please :) I'd love to have a listen, but all I am getting is "Aint it a Shame", not "Ant it a Shame"
which youtube video should i be looking at? Do you have an actual url? youtubing "Run there" lists all kinds of things. If you have an actual youtube url, it would be great for the 'rest of us' to have a listen. Much appreciated.
Charles, thank you for the tips. The action from fret 5 and up tapers nicely. It's really happening below fret 5. I wonder if the nut grooves are too deep, after all these years? I should mention, if i play with a pick, it's hardly noticeable. I can…
Question for you Martin vintage folks. I have a 1949 0-15, and the bass E string gives me trouble. The neck is straight, action is good. I play a lot of fingerstyle, and mix in a bit of strumming as well, usually in the same song. So I use my thumb…
Thank you guys for all this info! I looked at your photo, Mike, and I saw the Martin there with what I thought was a Seagull headstock! Couple nice Taylor's in your wood pile as well. Now that's a cord of wood I would mind stacking :)
Hi James, thank you for your honesty. I can understand where the disconnect is. I should have probably spelled it out a bit more, but the guy is saying to his girl that tonight he's full of sorrow because of the disagreement, but tomorrow he'll be c…
Hi Paul,
Nice sound. The story line is a bit hard to follow in the lyrics themselves, but some songs are meant to be more a "mood" than a "spell it out as it is- story telling".
Suggestion: It seems like the verses are outlining frustrations and t…
Really nice James! I have to say you have a very distinctive voice that I really like. I thought the mix of strumming and fingerpicking worked great. What type of guitar did you use in the recording? It sounds a bit like my old Martin 0-15 (small bo…
thanks Jim! i usually do rhyme quite a bit in my writing. I didn't notice that this song has very little rhyming until you mentioned it! this song happened very fast and I really like it when that happens. I have a few song ideas that are like brick…
OK- maybe I'm in the wrong group- or I guess I could post something really rough of what I'm currently working on- there's usually something. I get back to have a listen. Have a good day, Jim
Hi Paul, Thanks a bunch- I appreciate it! I was looking to see if you had something I could listen to. I feel like a klutz on here so far finding anything but I didn't see anything on your page that I could listen to. Looking forward to your feedback. Take care, Jim
