It's three mics. A Rode NT1000 large condensor for the vocal. The guitar had two SM57s on it, one at the 12th fret, one just below the bridge, panned hard left and right. If I had more condensors I'd use them on the guitar - when I track things separately I always use the Rode on an acoustic (unless it's a resonator, that pushes a condensor too hard) - using the 57s like this seems to produce are fair amount of hiss!

sounds great. What microphone are you using?

If I had a pound for every time I played this I could probably buy a very nice Gibson, but I would love to have done it just like this. I bet this was closer to how it was written.

Nice take on a great cover.

Nice job Andrew! I really like the laid back feel to it. Your voice is especially good. Great cover of a great song.

Nice!

Passionate, emotional, gripping, and huge - all words found in my dictionary to describe this. Thanks, Andrew. G:)

Great vocals! and a real FEEL version of a great tune ...

a really really nice retelling of a great song!! your vocal and playing is so rich

Epic, your vocals are quite theatrical (in a good way) :)

Back again....

This would bring the room down! Set it on fire! Killer!

..dynamic vocal and slowed down bluesy essence..don't know why you bother with all the other instrumentation when you breath life into a song the way you do with just a bit of plunkin' 'n' gruntin' ..excellent..

One of my favorite songs too! I like how you belted it out. That's the ticket. You can feel the grit in there. Well Done!

Epicly awesome! Great hook! Great lines! No stinker! G:)

Getting into the groove. Quality across the board! Cheers, A! G:)

Hi Andrew, another winner. This has it all, vocals,playing and production. Love it.

Right up my street,alley,passage or whatever interconnecting construct passes my crib.....nice one ...love the bouncy tempo and the gravelly vox....Paolo Nutini who?........

Her hunting crop....love the lyrics...;)

well, i agree with much of what has already be said,, this is realllly a great piece of rock!! very well done and recorded,, very clear love listening to all the parts r

Oh yeah, this was one kind of goes off on it's own. Some fine playing on here.

Lovely track. Gorgeous feel. I'd have been happier if it had been longer - I put it on and went "yeah" and wandered off to another window. There was a real feeling of "Oh!" when it stopped - had to come back and hit play again! lol

Back for another listen. Can't believe I didn't fave it last time!

"Lovely tinkly bits" - Can't really top that for a comment, B lol And it's so true! Loved it all. I thought it was just OK when it started, not quite my kind of thing... But it grabbed my attention enough to stay, and then it just dragged me in. Faved by the end. Nice track.

Yep, that works :-) Cool song on the original track. Enhances and brings out that riff. I listened to the original first and thought "it's the riff I'd go for" - and I'm guessing that's what gave you the mood for the lyrics/vocal. Nice work both!

And I forgot to mention those drums on the first listen. Yeah!!

Oh this hangs together very well... VERY well. Really interesting arrangement - all the different parts shouldn't really go together... but they fit seamlessly. Love it.

I like this one a lot. Gotta get me a banjo, or a mandolin, or both!! You realise you're gonna have to get a fiddle as well now? (Or have you got one already!). Fine track. Love those falling chords.

Not come across this tuning, not sure how it gets played, can't imagine it. Might have to give it a go. You seem to know what to do with it, though!

Good work guys. Very effective guitar track and mighty fine vocal from Hooky :-)

Nice. Like the riff, and lovely keyboards.

Rockin' :-) Sooner or later I've got to treat myself to a Sunday afternoon like this. Some well tasty guitaring going on here.

I kept meaning to listen to this ever since you first posted it. I didn't have 9 minutes at the time! Then I noticed the attention it was getting - so I reckoned it must be something special... ... found the 9 minutes and.. YES! It is...

Coming from a completely different space than I've been dwelling in for the past few hours - and very refreshing because of that. Enjoyed it a great deal.

Had to give this another listen before I lock myself away in the room with too many guitars. Thanks for the inspiration.

And another one! Fantastic. "Far too high, far too bright.." Love it... This is definitely the last one I'm listening to... I'll catch up some more later... I'm off to the broom-cupboard now.

Oh fantastic song and performance. Love the "mandolin" - is it one, or the "capo up the neck" trick? (I keep meaning to stop and actually go and do some stuff myself - but another one of yours keeps starting and I keep listening instead!) This one is utterly fabulous.

Lovin these guitar sounds.

Rockin

Always liked this one
