@jefnstlouis

thank you!

This kind of ballade is matching your voice in a special way.

Is that a dropped D tuning?

[theMonk1]

@jinglejangle1871

thanks.

yes, tuned down a half step then dropped the low E

[sweetlittlesheila67]

This is lovely - I'm a huge Son Volt fan, and you've definitely done justice to one of my favourite songs.

[sowafication]

what kind of strings you using?

[theMonk1]

@sowafication

DR Rare's. .12-.56

[tmiller72]

Fantastic! One of the best covers I've heard on here.

[bigdaddyj40]

Great performance - are using using a standard tuning with 1/2 step drop?

[theMonk1]

Thanks.

1/2 step drop then the low E down to D.

[bigdaddyj40]

What are you doing with the A chord throughout the song? When I play this song, i tend to use an Asus7 (I think). Basically, it's this: X02233. It looks like you are doing something a little more creative?

[theMonk1]

I'm using that chord A7sus for the intro parts. During the verses I'm going from an A chord to an A9 X02200.

[jackfruitdesign]

Very nice feel to this performance.

What kind of EQ did you put on the guitar? Sounds very deep and rich.

[theMonk1]

Thanks a lot. There are two mics in the room. Put a little reverb on one of them, panned them left and right, then just mixed until it sounded good. I didn't really have a plan. It did turn out pretty lush sounding. The guitar is tuned down too, that adds a little depth.

great job jeff..lovely sounding guitar..well done....regards johnny ireland..

[Mntgoatsfan]

I love those D-15s by the way. Nothing like a good martin. I play a d-28 myself.

[Mntgoatsfan]

This is just fucking great!!!! Amazing version of an amazing song. You rock man! :)

[64thistles]

I could listen to you forever. You have such a soothing voice.

[theMonk1]

That's nice to hear, thank you.

[sidwyn]

Brilliant, really enjoyed this!  Is that a new guitar?

[theMonk1]

Thanks. Yes a D-15, I've had it about 2 weeks now. It's a very inspiring guitar to play and hard to put down sometimes.

[sidwyn]

Nice. Do you still have the Silver Creek? What about the BR180?

[theMonk1]

The BR-180 is on the block right now. I might change my mind and keep it. The SC has developed a bellying issue which has thrown the intonation out of whack. Not sure what to do about it at this point. This D-15 is going to satisfy me for quite a while I believe.

[sidwyn]

I hear you. You could always try a bridge dr. on the SC. But sometimes you just need a Martin. :')
