First song of the year for me...
Recorded on New years day 2011...
-Good Times-
Words and Music By Tharek Mokbul
These Good Times,
In this Old Life
Are Earned...
Not Learned...
I’ve seen old faces,
Fade away,
In my mind…
My first attempt at a Blumlein or Mid/Side recording. This one is actually a mid/side recording as I used a directional mic in combo with a figure 8 ribbon mic set at 90 degrees from the main mic. Thanks to Pat Broaders for the loan of the ribbon…
Thanks Kirk! I've been messing with that wah tone for a while. I am using my POD XT live, i think it has...5 wah varations? Something like that, and I had one set up for my main guitar a Jackson Dominion (sweet guitar i love it), and when i went to play the lead i thought, well i just got that strat copy lets give it a whirl. I was shocked how those little pickups blasted into the mix. Pretty neat! I guess you can never judge a guitar by the brand name...just the sound. Later!
Thank you very very very much Dave... I must listen to Bert Jansch & John Renbourn, never heard of them, but i think for your words that i'll enjoy them very much.
Beautiful, this the deal. European folk and classical, what a great mix. Sounds like the kind of stuff Bert Jansch & John Renbourn used to get op to. I am now officially a fan of your guitar playing.
Very very good. This is very original sounding. You have a very nice touch on that nylon string. I hear classical, latin/spanish flavour, blues even, its all here in this wonderful track.
Well, this is a single minute of music around this wonderfull 'Angel Eyes' song. I hope you like and/or enjoy this miniature. Have a great 2011 alonetoners!

This is such an awesome song - you're such a natural singer song-writer.
Great voice, as usual. Happy New Year!
