tommyb Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I started playing guitar in the early 60's during the folk music craze, pre-Beatles. I practiced this song till my fingers blistered on my $15 Harmony acoustic. Well. it took me 50 years but I might finally have it right...LOL! I don't own a 12-string (wish I did) so I got the idea to record the octave as a separate track. I live-miked the 500MCE through my Roland 30x, added some reverb and just a touch of flange effect. I also recorded separate solos so I actually have four solo guitar tracks. Bass is the Epi EB-3 SG. I got out of sync slightly in a couple spots...not sure if it was latency or just me. The original RTS recording utilized two Gibson 12-strings playing the solos for a big sound. The DR-500MCE is a fine instrument but I did have it gone over by a local luthier. He added a compensated bridge saddle, new pins, new strings and a neck adjustment. Walk Right In Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
