how is this...

[cello_pudding]

i just stereo micd my amp with 2 mxl991's, sdcs. (i don't have a dynamic that doesn't sound like buzzing bees on distorted guitar)

i noodled around on my epiphone sheraton (that's a guitar), through my peavey delta blues (that's an amp). 30 watt tube(what kind of amp). i used the middle pickup (a pickup is on a guitar. its the transducer to electrical signal). not too bright not too dark (describing the tone). i like it

that goes to an oooold 1979 peavey 16 channel (a mixer, consisting of 16 channels), panned slightly then going to my computer(what i did to the 2 sdc's)

some very slight eq'ing to kill a bit of the brightness and then highten a slight bit, but nothing crazy (minimal amount of tone changing after recorded). it came as a stereo track, i copied the track and hard panned left and right (i recorded in stereo). so its a strange mix of left and right in both speakers doing separate things

here's what i came up with...

i play rhythm clean and dirty (dirty =distorted guitar, clean is w/o). but i hadn't warmed up with lead...i'm just looking at tone here(don't crit my playing cuz i haven't warmed up aka "played much this day").

Is there a question -- or perhaps an actual point -- buried somewhere in that post? ? ?

Oh, I see. You editied your post and asked for "a critique" this time.

At least we're making some progress.

i think its pretty good (the guitar) i like the tube sound (from the amp's tubes) i also think that the beginning riff (rhythmic sequence of chords and/or notes) could make a sweet intro to a song (a musical composition)

overall, it sounds good to me (guiar)... but maybe just a bit too much distortion (distortion = not clean) for my taste, but thats just my opinion (a personal belief or judgment that is not founded on proof or certainty)

The playing is cool and clean as is the overall recording (It's better than i could do), but for my taste (And please don't take this the wrong way) it's:

1."Annoyingly bright"-I couldn't take that tone for 3 minutes.
2.A bit too ambient-Slight, yet distracting traces of the room are evident.

I don't have the skill-set to say "Cut this frequency" or "Add that one", but instinct for personal taste says add just a bit of distortion "Buzz"
and be it via mic or amp placement, absorb a bit more of the room.

Overall not bad, just not for me.

i agree (with bill)
