Mother Goose, By Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson - Acoustic Guitar Cover

Another of my favorite Tull acoustics.

Recorded using a cheap MXL condenser mic, and a Seagull Grand 'parlor' size guitar. Camera was a Nikon D90 in HD video mode.

how did you connect your mic the d90 when there are no external outputs for mics? please help!

@shaneika09 Just do it like filmmakers tend to do and use an external recording source, then put the soundtrack together with the video when you edit. In this case, I have the mics running through a mixer and into a laptop to record audio. You could also use one of those handheld digital recorders with external mic inputs.

Very nice job, played accurately and well, nice chops, but sounds too rushed, slow it down a bit bite into the strings with the rhythm feel and dynamics it needs, sorry but I just watched Ian himself on a youtube video doing Wondering Aloud with a string section. Wow. Unfair comparison I guess, sorry

Well now, you sound like a proper music critic, lol! Thanks for the crit outerrealm ;-)

Dude, I am a long-time Tull fan and have seen them a few times...you do a great job on this. Guitar playing is fluid and your vocals sound spot on. Cheers mate!

JETHRO TULL IS ONE OF THE ALL-TIME GREAT ROCK GROUPS. IAN ANDERSON IS SUCH A GREAT SONG-WRITER

[dgreagin]

That is the best Tull cover I have heard yet. You re-worked it slightly but it is an excellent arrangement. Your voice sounds like Ian but much better and with less of Ian's nasal twang. Bravo!

[caintapi]

Nice take on one of my favorite Tull tunes. I like your rendition. Also like the sound of that guitar. I have a very old Lyon & Healey parlor guitar that I've been thinking about fixing. I hope I can get this sound out of it when I get done with it.

Great playing and you have a good Ian Anderson voice! I agree with the comment that it was a little fast, but it was still great.
