@bignich1 Hey Big D! Thanks. I love this song too. Heard it the other day on the radio and thought I should learn this song. As usual, they always come out they way I feel them when I try to do them solo!

DUDE!!!!! That is one of my all time favorite songs and you nailed it. Except for "high as a kite" I noticed you didn't go for that high note. LOL!! Excellent job my brother.

@jtallensk When you can't do the high notes you do them your own way!

hey thats well done...cool trip

[troycastellano]

@jtallensk Hey JT, Here's what I did to record this...I used a MXL Genesis mic pointed to my face, you can barely see the shock mount on the far right side of the screen and the guitar was direct from the guitar pickup. The MXL picked up a lot of guitar too. Then I blended them and automated a touch of delay on the MXL channel. Also, using Logic and the adaptive limiter to get the output to acceptable levels. I'll see what I can do send you the stems. Would love to help out!

How many mics did you use?? Fill me in..... hell email me the raw tracks. I want a copy of this, and I could use some experience mixing acoustic tracks like this. This a really fuckin' good rendition of this song. You killed it!!
