April come she will (by simon and garfunkel) cover, tutorial, acoustic guitar.

I took a bit more time with this one and didnt rush through it like I normally do :)
I would suggest listen to the original if you dont know it, you really should have the melody bouncing around in your head as you learn this one.

A couple of awkward chord changes here and of course there is the fingerpicking but you can strum if you like, it still sounds great.

Recorded using my new budget shure C606 mic, about £25 including lead. Very good sound for the money although of course you cant tell through youtube :)

Guitar is a yamaha FG-230 string up as a 6 string.

@tobiassegura I never said it was right, its just how I play it. Well, how I played it in Dec 09 when I uploaded it.

Hi, I have this mic too, but everytime I tried to record my acoustic guitar, it's to quiet... do you have some preamp for this mic or something else??

[DoAPooAtPauls]

@Bambytalica Hi, the levels are a bit quiet but with the mic level on full in windows and the mic boost on full (in the drivers for my soundcard) its a reasonable level. I plug the mic directly into my 'mic/line in'

I record on my laptop which is a sigmatel built in soundcard.

Try looking for a mic boost level in your soundscard drivers.

hello, can you tell me how good the microphone is for vocal ?

[DoAPooAtPauls]

I haven't actually tried it myself but the range of a voice would be similar to acoustic guitar I think. The reviews of it that I read before buying said it was an excellent budget choice for vocals. I have been very impressed wit it so far. I think there were lots of reviews of it on amazon. Its very well built for te money and comes with lead. The only negative is the output seems slightly lower than most but its only a bit and still enough to be able to turn the preamp or input levels up.

needs more practice... you have some of the chords wrong broha

[jonnyXrice]

I think the truth it you can hear the difference even on youtube!

I used this exact same mic on my new cover too haha

Surprisingly it does a pretty good job =)

Happy playing!

@DoAPooAtPauls thanks

@DoAPooAtPauls Hi, thanks for replay so fast! I have all on full, I tried record with my laptop, desktop computer, even with external sound card (not profesional). Maybe is something wrong with my mic.. which is brand new.. oh, right, which software do you use for recording?
