Ok, so a month or so later, my second recording attempt. Forcing myself to do another recording has kept my interest going - though not sure its improved the playing much!! I have, however, changed the arrangement a bit to what i think works best with a single acoustic guitar (with no solo). It took me 2 goes to record this, and being so long, i just didn’t have the heart to try to record it again without a few of the obvious fumblings. One of the things i immediately noticed was my lack of confidence with picking the strings with a pick (ie the “There’s a feeling i get…” bit) as i am totally looking at my hand the whole time - something to work on immediately. I’m not sure what the best way is to include an updated version of a song in a previous post, so there’s a fair chance no one will see this - but its still a good exercise to do if only for myself.
