Killing Me Softly / Fingerstyle solo guitar

[Guitarquango]

Hi folks,

just recorded this good old tune on my brand new Fender guitar. Hope you enjoy my simple version



Greetings from Hamburg,

Dude, you just do these covers so tastefully...just cruising n cool! How cool it'd be to have ya just bangin these out at some pub while just chillin drinkin n eatin and feeling the great vibes! Really dig your style.

Very nice job - good articulation of the melody. I'd be tempted to move the Microphone a little bit back and add another angled at the fret board. It would bring out the notes with out the peaking.

That's pretty much a chaacteristic of Jimmy's sound though? I'm not hearing peaking - just his characteristic emphasis? I like it as it is, and he left hand technique does lots of pull offs which a mic on the fingerboard would probably not handle that nicely? However - it's a good suggestion for experimenting, but would also get in the way of the camera even more?
