Hello. I LOVE your guitar work! I hope to play like that one day, no doubt. I'm just wondering. I have bought a taylor 214CE recently but I can't find a way to record it via somekind of line-in to my computer. Since I have just bought the guitar I don't have enough money for high-budget solutions. Do you have some advise for me?

Cheers from the Netherlands

@Jasperguitar I used a pair of small diaphram condenser mics on this one. They were both Oktava MK012 mics. MXL makes some knockoffs for around a hundred bucks each that aren't bad, but if you can find a used Oktava on Ebay, I'd go with that,. You really only need one. That and a cheap little $80 Behringer or Yamaha mixer with phantom power is all your need. I just used a little Behringer on this recording. If you need to go straight to the board, I'd get the Fishman Aura for that pickup.

@sthugh Thanks for the reply! I'm now googeling everything (:

[MartinRaetzJr]

Great arrangement, wonderful playing. Bravo!

[magicbanana]

Really terrific. Loose and playful, but not overly goofyball, like so many versions of this tune.

[AnkeZohm]

wow - absolutely great!

[Monster2820]

It's great

[jobuhercules]

Brilliant !!!

[Byrdmanguitar]

Great!! Watch out Doyle!! I love the intro - I presume that's yours? Is that a 600 series?

[sthugh]

@Byrdmanguitar,

Hi Joe,

I was just watching you perform Nuages, and that was terrific. I did a DJango cover a few months ago, but it didn't come out anywhere near as nice as yours, so it's still sitting on my hard drive.

I've just got a 314. It's all I can afford, but I like it as well as many of the 914s I've played. You have to look a bit harder to find a really good 314, but they're out there.

[triciasonfire]

what a great arrangement! i LOVED it !

[wipsii]

WOW i love it . and niCe taylor Guitar you have there . why do you paly taylor ? other Guitar players always use Martin or Gibson or lerive .. i also have taylr i like the lock of the neck and the sound is powerful..but very nice play´d

[sthugh]

Thanks--glad you liked it.

Any guitar that stays in tune, has good intonation, and has a good feeling neck is fine with me. Just a means to an end.

[wannasea]

Well done, but IMHO this video shouldn't be response for Tears in Heaven. I know that both are played fingerstyle, but still, they have nothing else common.

[tbcass]

Great job. You may be a poor judge of bass players but I really like your guitar playing. :-)

[yahoobucky]

Very cool! I haven't heard anyone else ever attempt this finger picked.

[maverick90210]
