Went down a rabbit hole of revisiting my 20s, long before I realistically dreamed of playing a guitar. This guy was only getting going before he met an untimely death, falling down a stairs, after performing a gig in Amsterdam.
Recorded two voicings on the same chords and tried layering them. Main track in open chords.
I find getting the balance hard.
Love this song.
Lovely job, Dom 
I’m surprised his name doesn’t ring a bell. I have a feeling the Mary Janes is familiar from posters, but not even sure about that.
Anyway, I think you got the balance spot on between voice and guitar(s), although it was not obvious to me that there were different voicings on two guitars. I might go back and have a listen with headphones later.
Much appreciate having contributions lobbed over the water from my beloved bog 
I’m homesick now… 
That was a beautiful song excellently covered Dom. I remember Mic Christopher well but haven’t heard this song before.
Heyday was an anthem to a generation of young Irish people back in the day, and if I remember correctly it was used on a famous Guinness advert.
You have definitely prompted me to check out more of his stuff. Hope all is well in the sunny south east.
Good job, Dom. Liked the wat you expressed your connectioin with the song with your swaying. I always think that sort of feel can only help with a performance.
Dom
Lovely, understated accompaniment and spot-on vocal. Excellent!
Brian
Yes indeed. The Mary Jane’s. They were in the middle of the clique of young Irish artists making great music back then.
My God. Forgot the advert. Can’t remember exactly but it feels like summer in my mind?
Last night’s whiskey 
Thank you
Love performance and recording, Dom.
How much width did you add to the two guitar parts. The other thing to try is to get them slightly out of sync, maybe 30-50ms. I did catch some influence of the two parts but perhaps could be improved. As you say that is hard.
Oh and you may find that you need a volume envelope to make small adjustments in certain parts after setting on the most effective levels for each track and the panning.
All that aside, it sounded wonderful.
That was fantastic. I didn’t know the song. Thanks for sharing.
Loved it Dom, really great job 
Thanks for the response David.
I don’t know what width means in this context.
I did try having the two tracks out of sync. My big issue was while recording the second track, I was anticipating my playing in the first resulting in me being ahead of the beat or sometimes behind when I tried to over correct.
I think I understand the volume envelope reference?! Increasing the volume of a segment of the second track for extra emphasis I suppose
Great feedback nonetheless. I appreciate it.
My pleasure. Thanks for listening
Thank you
New song for me too, Dom & I really enjoyed it!
As usual, your music has a relaxing feel that is very satisfying to listen to! I don’t find anything here to critique… just a cool song, well played, vocally good & very emotive! Spot on my man!
Thanks for sharing!
Tod
I never heard of the song or the artist. This was a great introduction to both! It was a pleasure to listen to your singing and playing!
Sorry to be a bit too cryptic, Dom.
By Width I meant panning the guitar tracks left and right. In this case I’d start with something like 10% left and right. I would find sometimes that there is a point that is just right for this use case and it can be such a small margin, often less that 5% points made a huge difference.
A volume envelope is a way to adjust the level of a specific part of the track. So you get the levels of all the tracks so that they sound right. Ideally from start to finish. But sometimes you find just a few moments when a track needs to be just a wee bit louder or softer, just for a few bars. Then you can use a volume envelope to boost or cut for just that portion.
You can almost think of it like the sound engineer ‘riding the faders’ as they used to do when mixing to make small adjustments as the song played through.
I think when double-tracking, either identical or as you did with different voicings, not being 100% aligned can be fine. Obviously still needs to be really close or it becomes obviouly out of time, but the differences really help make the most of the doubled part.
Can’t like this response enough. I’m indebted to you. I’ll look forward to trying to apply your advice to future recording.
As an aside I set foot in a studio for my very first time tomorrow as a friend has asked that I play as a session guitarist on a new album he’s recording so looking forward to seeing the pros in action.
Thank you Jim
