NAGD 1st Acoustic recording

[jmin]

Thanks to the guys over in the gear talk forum (GeeDub & Co.) I got my first new guitar in over 30 years!
I plan to use it at a "+55 jam session" once a week. So far - so good. I'm realizing it's a bit different than either the electrics or nylon strings, definitely a new technique to learn!

It's fitting in well.


The jam group gave me a nice chart for "Blackbird." Thought I'd give it a try...

Fender Sonoran Blackbird

(Sorry it's not blues....I don't know acoustic blues...yet!)

Nicely done. Seems like you have the independance of the thumb and fingers that you will need for acoustic blues.

 

[CaptainMoto]

Well NOW!
That was good.
Congrats on something new.

This inquiring mind would like to know your recording technique on that.
I'm always disappointed with my acoustic recordings.....you sound very good.

 

[artyman]

That sounded really good, one of the former guitarists at my church played a Fender Sonoran.

 

[PapaBear]

Nice job, sounding good to my ears!

 

[Annie]

Flawless.Very nice sound from that guitar too.

 

[Chuck]

Very Nice! Well played! I enjoyed it.

 

[Silicon Valley Tom]

Great job Jim!

[Dr. Ron]

Very nice jmin. Enjoyed it. Nice set of guitars also.

 

[HotLks]

Lovely! I had two friends, husband and wife team in the '70's. Every time the gang went to their house I'd ask them to play and sing this song. I love it. That Fender sounds nice.

See you down the road!

 

[Many Moons]

Very nice. A lovely, simple, clean fingerpicking style that should transfer to the blues no problem. Well done.

Good recording as well.

Thanks, Capt! (Sorry for the delayed response, I was temporarily locked out of the Forum with a password issue....)
For the recording, I just plugged it in to GarageBand, through an Apogee jam interface, using it's Fishman's Isys III electronics. I was very curious what it would sound like, because I don't think that's how your supposed to record an acoustic.

Thanks to everyone for the encouraging responses! Lots of fun! Lots to learn!

Hey,
It worked, don't question success.
