I rerecorded this song, paying more attention to my space, trying to get quiet results. It is a song my wife has always enjoyed, so I was wondering what you all thought of it? If You Could Read My Mind
 
Nice job:)

Great playing!

Sounds good. I supposed I could nit pic, but I'm not going too cause it sound pretty faithful to me. I haven't heard that song in years.



F.S.
 
I've always enjoyed your playing and singing Rick. This is another great tune. Playing is great, I like the tone on your guitar. It's big and bold and has lots of bottom end in it. It's also very balanced, as in the notes seem nicely compressed. The vocals also have that clarity and fullness. Although I've become accustomed to your consistently great sound, I find this particular submission slightly better. Have you changed something in your setup or are my ears playing tricks on me :D Sounds really great....

:D :) :D :)
 
ido1957,

I think there are a couple of reasons why this recording sounds better.

1.) I have recently started taking martial arts, so it helps my singing.

2.) Also, I am using the 2247LE instead of the 2247 mic. The LE version is better for my voice. I also upped the gain and got closer to the mic.
 
Guitar is very nice sounding man...and great job on the vocals...you captured them well, and the performance is excellent for this song.

Nice one man....
 
I think it sounds a bit too forced to sound more like GL than just sounding like me. Gosh, they always sound different after listening to them for a couple days.
 
Beautiful job....Guitar sounds great...very nice tone and balance.Vocals sound very nice as well....haven't heard the original in quite some time, but I think you do it very much justice, with just enough difference to make it your own take.Congrats...great job!!

I like the guitar playing and would like to hear the guitar raised up a db or 2.
Nice work Rick! :)
