"The Needle And The Damage Done" (cover)

[SdC]

... Please tell me how you recorded your seagull, I am struggling to get a good recorded sound with my seagull plugged in like you have done.

sorry missed this one.
I used a simple dynamic mic (the Shure) at about 30cm (1ft) from the hole. Mixed that with the plug-in and voila. Tweak to taste. Don't overdo the low EQ on the pickup (it booms).
For this song I chose a bit of a "dark" mix, but a bit of high EQ could brighten it up.
btw I don't play with plectrum. That makes it harder to get a punchy attack and bright sparkly sound, but I sacrifice that to get better volume/dynamic control. I bought the Seagull because it's one of the best sounding "soft-playing" acoustics I've come across.

Harvest is one of my favorite NY records an Needle one of the highlights. This is a VERY good performance of that song

Brilliant. Harvest is in my top 3 all-time albums, and this is a perfect rendition. Plus an absolutely gorgeous tone on the guitar.

I'm thinking of doing 'Old Man' one of these days (to add to my live favourite 'Heart of Gold'). Hell... we could do the whole album as a kind of forum tribute, lol

Now there's an idea!! How about a Neilfest after the bluesfest and upcoming rockfest?

Wow those are really good. I've played that one in jam sessions a lot too.

Great job SdC. Excellent playing and a great feel to this. Very close to NY himself.

Cheers,

Good job,

I love Neil. Seen him about 5 times (3 with CSN), just a few months ago in London, ON as a mater of fact. Neil played for about 3 hours straight.

Good guitar work. Sounds really good.

Very nicely done. Good, full guitar tone, and you have Neil's voice down pretty much perfectly. Great job!
