Nicely done - all around. It's a matter of taste but I liked your voice in that register. My wife keeps after me to learn some new songs. I think I'll take a stab at this one and steal your ideas too.

Nice job. I think the vocal works, and the impression that you may be pressing up near your range's upper limits adds to the impact.

Thank you Frank.

You comments are appreciated!

Just listened again to myself.
I believe the single mic used, was a bit far way .. I could have been a bit stronger on vocals.
By perhaps better mic placement.

Jake very nice job I really liked it.
My only suggestion (Playing producer ) would be to raise the mic somewhere between 4 to 8 inches higher which should balance out the level of the vocal to be closer to the level of the guitar and put it in the same plane front to back . opps >>>> that was supposed to read right now it sounds behind the guitar .

Hey Kev - Thanks for the reply and "production" advice. I will be testing some closer/higher mic placement.

On a side note, I am digging the Apogee MiC. It certainly is making for easier recordings. I have it plugged into my iPad Mini and use free Garage Band App.

Nice Jake. One of my favorite Stones songs.

Brown Suger.... Angie? Do requests?

[homme de fer]

I'm sitting here gassing for a J-45, decided I'm fine with what I have, then I heard this. That was fantastic.

Thanks!! Brown Sugar for sure .. But sounds way better on an electric Open G with an overdrive amp!

Angie... That's not gonna happen. I will leave that one to Mick J!

Thanks Again Barry!

Wow Thanks! I waited a long time to get my J-45 and it was the ONE.

Best to ya!

Nicely played sir! As been mentioned that J-45 sounds awesome! The video was also well done especially for those wanting to learn the chords for the song.

Thanks so much BluesFreek for your comments.

Good job.
One of my most favorite Stone's songs and one of the first I ever played as I began to learn guitar. Interestingly, the song was written by Graham Parsons who had worked with a variety of artists including the Byrds, Poco, Bonnie and Delany, Emmylou Harris, Eagles and was in the "Flying Burrito Brothers" band.
He died from an alcohol and morphine overdose at the age of 26.
