Get drunk, record track, listen back, clap yourself on the back, sober up, listen again. If you can pull it of snockered it's a piece of cake when your not. RINSE REPEAT
Great thread! I too waited until my 50's before getting my first vintage Gibson acoustic and I can only say why I didn't save up all the money I spent on coke and booze and buy one in my 20's
is a lesson that only comes with a age. Just like the sound of a vintage guitar.
I recently had a hankerin' for the sound of a Les Paul again after getting rid of my old girl to Norm's Guitars. Did I fork out 3k for a new electric? Hell no! I spent $439 for a Korean copy.
I'm savin' that money for my next Gibson acoustic. Once you bit by that bug nothing else is good enough. (Take a peak at what they are doing in the ESP/Dean factory in rice land though. NICE)
