Ok, i suck at life. This seems like it would be fun. Ill post some queer acoustic progression that i like for some reason. Someone else post something and then someone else post something. Rules.. it has to be original, and must be you playing. Then we can just decide on a winner and be like, sweet.

E Flat Tuning
G/Cadd9/Emin7/asus are the chords i used, its a combination of my shitty playing, and my shitty mic :(.

Is it tommorrow already?

Hey remember when Limp Biznatch pretended they were going to elevate some "little person" to full member status as guitarist, but the catch was in order to 'audition' people had to -

a:- play something original and,
2) sign a waiver granting all rights and ownership of said material to the evil Durst Cabal?

I'm on to you AxioN! You're just hoping to swipe the next "Achy-Breaky Heart" riff!! Bastard!! :p

Seriously tho- WC thats smooth, props!

Ax, I like the first one better- the second sounds like a darker, kinda 'emo' variant of the first. It's like in the 1st you're thinking about doing some homework, and in the 2nd you're thinking about tearing it up... if you follow my drift.

The recording quality isn't the greatest, but it gets the job done.
Damn, I thought that was the best aspect of it, heh. Did you use a line-out or what?

Stereo mic'ing. A condenser mic (CAD GLX2200) about a foot out from the soundhole, and 2 inches down. A dynamic mic (Sennheiser e835) pointing at where the neck meets the body. Both into a Tascam US-122 USB box into adobe audition.

I dislike how my acoustic recordings turn out, but am pretty happy with how the mics sound for recording my cab.

Yeah, I'd like as many people to jump on this as possible; I want to post something, but I've only been playing "seriously" again since march, and I have a certain "performance anxiety". Anytime I'm playing and anyone comes into the room I completely lock up (I can't sing in front of anyone now either, though I sang in a band for 2.5 years- 22 years ago!! I need to get over that too).

OTOH, all of my attempts to play something 'consistent' that I would actually let someone else listen to can only improve me in the long run... MOTIVATE ME, people!! :D

Thanks, much <3

It's a little 30 second acoustic ditty I wrote in a few minutes. It's kind of messy because a) I never finger pick on my acoustic and b) I suck. But enjoy.
