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 mics. Recorded sitting in my shop 12 29 2010

Thanks Kirk! I thought the process might start with old boot leather and assorted hoof parts, mix it with snouts and lips and I've got dinner fit for a king

I really love your sound and playing here. This will be my bench-mark. I will work on my acoustic and try to reach a height such as this, Your song will be my constant inspiration. Thank you good sir. It may take me a while, but your playing here has inspired me.

Hey Kirk! thanks again for great guitar songs!! how are you doing?

Guest said January 12, 2011 3:50pm

Just amazing sounds and playing!

Movement To Contact said January 11, 2011 10:29pm

Yep the left track is the strat copy...middle is the guitar in the pic, my first "frankenstien" guitar, a les paul copy (harmony brand?? i think, been too long since i painted and rewired it) and right track is the jackson. Same amp settings on all three but there are subtle differences in tone. You can really tell it when you crank the gain on them. ;)

VERY relaxing

Guest said January 10, 2011 6:20pm

...so nice here, man.

Wildgeas Music said January 6, 2011 4:28pm

Damn fine playing man......

Farfetched Tangmo Band said January 5, 2011 9:43pm

I wish my listening gear was better--enough to give you some supportive comment for your recording technique. All sounds wonderful here, and the piece itself is emotive and beautiful. Really enjoyed this. I've met some fine guitar players on my sojour through internet music--you are one of the finest.

graveroyalty said January 5, 2011 1:32pm

Beautiful :)

Mr Sandbags said January 4, 2011 9:30pm

The production went over my head but it sounds beautiful.

Guest said January 4, 2011 6:30pm

Ahh, how beautiful is that! Sniffs, wipes eyes and nose!

Reefwalker said January 4, 2011 4:00pm

Gilbert Neilson said January 4, 2011 3:48am

Great recording and greater playing!!!! So nice!!!

Wildgeas Music said January 4, 2011 1:15am

You are dangerously close to being the best ever. Real soothing track Kirk. Nice atmosphere!

Guest said January 3, 2011 9:26pm

Completely gorgeous, emotive and effortless, Sir Filthy Shirker. Seems to me there isn't enough shirking going on, filthy or otherwise. (And Happy New Year!)

Guest said January 3, 2011 9:19pm

Achingly beautiful..!!

Movement To Contact said January 3, 2011 8:05pm

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!

Dave Berry said January 3, 2011 1:18pm

Holy wow that is an intense acoustic sound. I woul dsay perfect recording, very good job, and what a composition, there is so much air in this piece, and light and even dare I say it, joy. Wonderful song.

Guest said January 3, 2011 12:06pm

Awesome.

epimeison said January 3, 2011 7:38am

This is really beautifull kirk... so so nice..!

Guest said January 3, 2011 1:33am

Sooooo nice!

mmi said January 2, 2011 8:55pm

Jeebus. And you're envious of _my_ clean tone? Be serious. In '09 sudar and I were yacking about microphones some googling led us to some very high end mics and a guy that uses them: http://www.dougyoungguitar.com/music.php I think your recording is better.

Guest said January 1, 2011 9:03pm

beautiful

Movement To Contact said January 1, 2011 2:47am

Stunning...(jaw dropped.....)...damn man...

Reefwalker said December 31, 2010 11:13pm

Wow K, great sounding tune. Technically a top recording sound, and great guitar playing too.
