I Got A Name - Jim Croce cover performed by Jason Herr

[fazaoaii]

thanks for a great cover. nice voice and guitar playing. 

[jherr5150]

@fazaoaii thank you!

[Zsolto66]

Jason, I've just found this and am truly amazed... So beautifully played and sung. And the sound is also excellent. I know, two condenser mikes are a PITA to set up but they rock for sure. Your guitar sounds so delicately beautiful.

@Zsolto66 Thanks Zsolt, I almost forgot about this one actually, it's been awhile since I had this one in my live rotation.  Thanks for the compliment, I agree condenser mics are a pain to get just right but when you do they are pretty magical in capturing the sound.

[Zsolto66]

@jherr5150 By saying "live rotation" you mean you also play live at events or open mic nights? Tell me more :) Do you also have video footage? I would like to see it a lot...

[jherr5150]

@Zsolto66 I do have some live clips (maybe 3 on here) but the sound quality isn't the greatest. I have a regular gig at a restaurant/bar by my house where I play twice a month, will probably look to do more too. My reverbnation and facebook pages usually have the schedule on them too.

[Zsolto66]

@jherr5150 Hey, thanks, I will check them out now :) I can't promise I will be sitting in the front row next week but it is nice to know anyway.

[TodaysThought]

nice job

[pickingandgrinning]

Dang man!! You got some mad fingerpickin skills!! Great cover!!

[comeon224]

Dude, loved everything but the last note. You can hit that note--hit it. It's unsatisfying if you don't. Loved the fingerpicking. Very mellow. Am going to check out the rest of your vids now; I like your taste in music. I like your sideburns too. Very cool. Very map of Italy.

[bayonetemple]

excellent set-up of voice and guitar! are you using Martin?

[jherr5150]

@bayonetemple yes, this is a Martin OM-28V

[PEDROCLASSIC]

@bayonetemple Great set up buddy. nice plucking and singing. how much is the OM-28V Martin

[WilsonHallRider]

[freddyskates8s]

Wow! So good dude, you played it PERFECTLY! How did you learn it? YouTube isn't really showin me how haha. But honestly, that is amazing!

[MrGabani4]

could you post the tab please????

This cover is great. I want to play it)

[othercousin]

ahhh! The first Croce song I learned. almost..lol

You're so smooth on the guitar man. You nailed it. I feel your love for the music in your vocals too. Getting the feeling I'll be 5****ing all these Croce covers. And then I'll see what else u got, I see some originals too - very cool.

[jherr5150]

thank you very much, I appreciate the kind words!

[ttaurus393]

I like you mic set up and sound, what kind of PA do you run it off.

[jherr5150]

thank you! actually there's no PA involved - just the two mics into the interface into the computer.

[tomiboykitt]

you make it look so easy

[jherr5150]

thank you! this one took awhile to learn actually.

[DDevin7]

I love the way you cover Jim Croce. Great job!

[jherr5150]

thank you!

[Lewsa2]

Once again Jason....Awesome!

Love your stuff....keep it up!

Tony

[jherr5150]

thanks Tony!

[Oswlek]

Nice. New mics, Jason?

[jherr5150]

Thanks Justin - the vocal mic is new, thanks to my wife (early Christmas present). It's a Rode NT1-A - stil trying to get a good recording sound in general. The mic by the guitar is the one I've used for awhile, a MXL990S (with the bass reduction switch)

[lussetti]

Again great work! Live your dream man.. you are really good at this my friend. All the best from Lussetti :- ))) *****

[jherr5150]

thank you!

[Johnfern99]

Love it, Jason! Everytime I hear this one, the lyrics always remind me how great Croce's songwriting was.

"If it gets me nowhere, I'll go there proud."

[jherr5150]

thanks John! I agree, he was one of the greats.

[ShadySidebury]

Amazing! Sounds exactly like the original. :)

[jherr5150]

thank you!

[lovacoustic]

Beautiful. Another of my Croce favorites. You're burning up that new Martin.

[jherr5150]
