Salfromchatham Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Normally I record in my home office, but recently I have been banished to the basement. My mother in law came to live with us a year back, and Sunday mornings she watches tv - right next to my office. Where the office can be recorded dry, when I record in the basement I end up having to add a smidgeon of reverb to the recording, and I did that here. There are rusty flubs, as I haven't practiced this one in ages, so there's that then... Hope you like it, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeNUKnFjmYU Oh... as an aside... EM - I watched that tuning video you posted (James Taylor sweetened tuning). I did tune the low E (dropped D) a tad flat, as well as the B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldCowboy Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Great tune and a good job with it. Haven't done that one in ages, but a revival may be in order! Remember the Dylan 'Basement Tapes'? A fine tradition☺ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinder Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Wonderful stuff Sal! That Bird is ideal for this song. I’m a huge Stills fan, what a Songwriter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salfromchatham Posted March 4, 2018 Author Share Posted March 4, 2018 Thank you gents... Cowboy... what should I look for regarding the basement tapes? Any specific Dylan tunes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 You bring that quite difficult number safe ashore. First I thought 4x20, , , wait a min., that's a Martin task. Then again I actually did it on my ne-necked 66 CW at a kitchen jam last Thursday and why not play around. This worked splendidly. The Bird sounds grand and your f-picking is growing fast (strings ?) Once you're there down in every chord'n'corner, you can change name to Mister Homefree. . Thank you gents... Cowboy... what should I look for regarding the basement tapes? Any specific Dylan tunes? Try This Wheel's on Fire - strong stuffff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Nice Sal, Great song to cover too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroAussie Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Real nice Sal, real nice. I really enjoyed the tune and your delivery, but Im finally starting to like that new Bird of yours. Have to admit in previous recordings I felt that guitar sounded not all that inspiring, but here she sounds full, rich and very Birdy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
