Unusual choice & Mazz's choice. Timing is quite flippin difficult. Learnt and recorded this evening (although do know the song to listen to). Ending sucks (me) - so may re-record, but not tonight.

Decided to cut it to bare bones - one acoustic and one vocal track - just some reverb and mastered using acoustic patch. That's it. Second take for the Vox - 1 take (probably should have been 2nd or 3rd) for the guitar - but I'm tired, long day at work, bla-bla-bla. you know the score!

This is really good, is Mazz the singer, she has a good voice and the guitar work is really full.

Not familiar with FA but might check some of her stuff out.

Cheers all. To be honest I'm not entirely happy with the guitar performance, so may re-record. Tempted to start again with a click track - the timing is horrible to play on this track - as it is quite jazzy and loads of cross syncopated rhythms and its sung behind the beat. Am pleased with the new mike though - lovely warm sound on the guitar and Vox.

Burtog - Mazz is my teenage daughter (17). She could have chosen an easier song!!

Here's the original - FA has made some wonderful music.

Excellent cover! The vox is superb! I thought the guitar work is pretty damn good. I wouldn't worry about any "grace notes", it's got a nice live feel. ;)
