'Wounded Souls'

[Greeny]

Another of my old compositions re-worked on the BR (and mixed and mastered on the train this morning!).

All done in 4 tracks only, with the combined acoustic guitar and backing vocals recorded through the in-built mic. I used two guitar effect patches: 'Nashville' for the rhythm, and 'Smoothlead' for the lead licks and solo. Both were done on my Hofner verythin archtop.

I'm very happy with how this song translated on the BR. Just another reason why this little box of tricks continues to inspire and amaze...

The reason this forum works (especially the collaborations) is that we have all sorts of different talents floating around. I think I'm starting to know how to put a song together, but I'll never play guitar like some of the serious six-string talent I've heard on here. Neither can I do what ORH does - i.e. magically get inside someone elses song and interpret it into words and feelings that always seem to fit.

Here's to sharing and learning.... !

Very nice, Tim.  I'm beginning to see that you've got a recognizable style and sound, interesting and pleasant to listen to.
Good use of 4 tracks.... I wish there was (more) bass.

Ol "Smoothlead" to the rescue again-nice job Tim
Hofner arch top-thats a nice guitar-
I am considering a jazz box myself-Godin is making one now-under $1000

More than happy for somone to add some low end (from where the cymbals kick in...). I'm no bass player, so I'll only add my own when I don't think I'll ruin the song!

Prive... where are you?!

I'm very happy with the Hofner - it's really versatile for a £400 guitar and has a great range of tones (for MY level of playing at least!). There are some beautiful archtops out there at the moment though - most of which are out of my price range. I'll have a vintage Gretsch oneday though! And a Godin at that price sounds like something worth looking at...

Fantastic track.

I've had a BR for about a year and had good results with a Godin Solidac and a 335 Dot.

I do have trouble with my acoustics though. I love the sound you got here.

Cheers


Harry.

Neil Finn springs to mind.
