  1. I use the green jazz iii picks. My absolute favorite. And here to me is one of my favorite hummingbird videos. I also love the videos of Thom Yorke playing his.
  2. I can’t believe someone would by a 4K plus guitar and not know how to change strings? So weird.
  3. Oh man those are beautiful. I’m sure the naked one has quite a story. Mine is only slightly fading. You can still definitely see it but it’s losing some of the paint for sure. This was my first nice instrument and it still makes me smile every time I see it and it somehow even still smells great.
  4. I use d’addario phosphor nickel 12s and only change strings about once or maybe twice a year. I love the sound and feel of old strings. That’s cool our guitars are siblings. Is your bird starting to fade as well as the flowers? Mine are and I actually love how it’s aging.
  5. Thank you. I’ve gone from using my phone to using an apogee usb mic to just getting the zoom H6 this week. I have really liked it so far, and it can even be used as an audio interface with my DAW (reaper). I didn’t do anything to it in the mix so it’s just the sound of the mic on the zoom. I really have no idea how to properly mix or anything as I’m an absolute newb with this stuff. Thanks for listening!
  6. Thanks! I do tend to play quietly, especially on these instrumentals. I’ll need to find something to dig in on. The guitar is a 2012 hummingbird true vintage. Is the black ring an odd thing to have on it? Thanks for listening and the kind words.
  7. Alright here’s another attempt at recording. This time a Bill Frisell song.
  8. Thank you Lars. The exact feedback I’m looking for. I’m using a USB microphone and I think I may need to buy a real mic and an audio interface. I can’t believe I didn’t notice the bad placement haha.
  9. Hey all. Been a while since I posted here. I'm learning how to record my guitar as all my straight to phone recordings sound very amateur. Here's my first attempt of recording video on my phone and using a mic to record the audio directly to my computer. Hope everybody is staying safe. https://youtu.be/eKwnoJRSpxg
  10. I'm not a fan of the tone or the feel of elixir strings (or any coated strings for that matter). I haven't tried them on my hummingbird TV though. I use DR Sunbeams, 12-54 gauge. I've settled on these after having tried a few different sets, including Gibson Masterbuilts, D'Addario EJ-16s, and Martin SPs. I find the Sunbeams to be very warm and also very flexible (bouncy/bendy). They also sound very good right after you've installed them, not the typical brassy/harsh sound you sometimes get with new strings. The string life is pretty good as well (they obviously won't last as long as coated strings) and the strings are cheap and widely available. I would like to try a set of the Monel nickel strings eventually, but I just like the sound/feel of the Sunbeams too much right now. Enjoy the fun string experimentation and congrats on your new guitar!
  11. Here it is on my HB TV. Not sure what to think.
  12. Sorry to blow this page up but I also took a stab at my favorite Elliott Smith song as its been 10 years this week since he passed on. Also my first time recording my voice. Pretty raw but let me know what you think: My link
  13. Thanks Dan. I've played piano for quite some time so that has really helped in learning guitar I think. Thanks for the advice, I think you're right that it would sound better with a strum at the end.
  14. Hey all, This is my first shot at recording. I took up guitar 2 years ago and have recently tried my hand at learning some fingerstyle stuff. Here's a song on my HBTV. Let me know if you have any critiques/suggestions. Thanks, Sean My link
