Beautiful guitar Doug, you must be thrilled with it. Sounds just so balanced and warm, and the mics are also impressive sounding - all in all another bar setting recording.

Doug, I was playing along and of course had to tune to C#, not D, is that because of the guitar's age or do you just like how the tune sits that low? After playing a few measures I really like how it flows in the G tuning which uses more open bass than the DADGAD arrangement.

This is a great recording to try to match. Emphasis is on try

I forgot about that. I found the action a tad high for my taste when I got it, so I tuned down half a step to reduce the tension a little. I've just had it there since. I actually think most guitars sound nice down half a step, it just makes playing with others hard.

What a great sounding guitar and love the dual ETL mic setup. We love our Edwina. Less than 3 pounds?!? Wow - light as a feather!!

That is soo good. Such a rich and lush tone. Your playing pulls the best out of your guitar!

Are you green-screening there, Doug? Or did you really brick over your video room?

I tried to brick over my room, but Teri wouldn't let me :-)

hi Doug, do you mind sharing info on your gear? Mic, preamp, computer card?

The mic is the Ear Trumpet Labs Evelyn, a stereo ORTF mic. That just plugged into a Zoom H6 for recording. I popped the SD card out of the Zoom and loaded it into Logic for mixing. So the entire recording chain, preamp, interface, etc, was just the builtin Zoom stuff. I added a bit of reverb (Bricasti M7), level adjustment, etc in Logic and then sync'd with the video. Cameras were GH-series Panasonics. This is my usual You Tube chain other than the new mic.

That's a nice sounding guitar and a nice job on the song.

Thanks. That guitar is really a joy.

Beautiful sound Doug. Excellent!

Wonderful sound, happy you were able to grab that one!

An older thread I missed the first time - glad to have another shot at it. You're obviously an incredible player, but man, what a wonderful sounding guitar. A 12-fret 000 may be my ultimate guitar for fit and sound. I assume this had the short scale? Man, an 000-18 12=fret with a short scale and something like a Mod-V neck might be about perfect. I'll never own a vintage one, but maybe a custom shop type thing. Just sounds wonderful.
