Here's a way to make your acoustic guitar sound TWICE as good instantly!!!!

[onewilyfool]

Just take that old axe, and play it in your bathroom.....trust me, you won't believe the acoustic enhancement!!!

 

 

Please...share your experience!!!

Went outside to the Port-O-John.. no difference.

 

Kidding aside.. instant reverb from tile.

I have an even better suggestion: have Tommy Emmanuel lend a a helping hand, ... or two:

When I was in college, we used to go into the fire stairwells in the dormitory to play. Same effect. Hard walls, hard floors, no ceiling.

I was wandering around in San Diego last night (lots of bars with live music, by the way: of course, I'm only going into bars for the music, never the beer....) and saw a poster for a Tommy Emmanuel concert. Unfortunately, it's in February, so I assume he's doing a US tour.

Back in the days of my EARLY home recording (Nixon was President), we used to put vocalist and/or harmonica player in the bathroom. Great natural reverb.

 

We'd then isolate the amps in bedrooms or closets, plug in long cords and thrn stand in the room with the drummer. We'd run this all through a couple of Shure M-268 mixers for a live stereo mix to cassette.

 

We thought we were ROCK STARS. Actually many of the tapes turned out pretty good.

Hell, I just hand my guitar to somebody else and it always sounds better.

A few drinks does it for me, I relax and play twice as good as normal and after a few more I won't hear any mistakes.

I learned Stairway in a starwell in the building that the college radio station was in, around 1972 or '73.

That's a better suggestion than OWF's! I know this will work!

[stevens43]

haha the helping hand definitely beats the axe. That's probably making your acoustic guitars sound a thousand times better.

I tried it. But I live in a dorm with a public bathroom, so it was kind of hard to hear an improvement in tone because I was too busy talking to the people repeatedly asking me, "what the f*** are you doing?"

I did two weekend workshops with Tommy at Jorma's Fur Peace Ranch (highly recommended). I couldn't resist having that pic taken.
