I loved it.

Maybe bring up the guitar a tad if possible but not essential.

I have to say that i liked it a bit better before the comp....although the boosted guitar is very good...your vocal on the first draft was more in every way.

It's really incredible how difficult it can be to both capture a moment in a recording and also to have the editor/engineer part of us not get in the way of something so strong and vulnerable that we do 'too good' of a job mixing.

:)

I like this a lot Mike. I'm a big fan of older music like this. Don't really have anything else to add to what's been said already.

Thanks.

This is nice! You can't go wrong with the classics. I haven't heard the vocal version in decades. Thanks Mike! 

P.S. I wish I could sing like that!

Cool rendition Mike - I prefer #1 myself, it's so well recorded you really sound like you're performing here in the room with me.
 
And you pulled off the singing/picking multi-tasking to a tee
 
Mind you, I think it would have sounded better if you'd done it in X1c, with a bit of Pro-Channel
 
 

Nice one Mike.  I don't have any suggestions to add to the comments that have already been made but I did want to add my accolades on a nice job.  Between the first and second --- I would cast my vote for the first.  To me it has a real honesty (vocal in particular) and that is a great thing to capture in a recording.

Excellent Mike; raw and sweet sketch; it brings me back, way back ... a long time ago ... back in vinyl days.

nice vocals on this, guitar needs to come up, but seems like you hit home runs on both the playing and singing mike!

I don't know how to explain how much lack of confidence a person trying to sing has to deal with... but I figure any of you who do it have some idea. :-)

I sure do, that's for sure. Singing is the hardest thing for me to do. Learning to deal with the sound of my voice recorded was the hardest. Even my talking voice on an answering machine. Once you get used to that and accept that no one else is going to sing but you, you jump in and don't look back. I work so hard on my vocals it makes me sick sometimes. It takes a long time to get it down unless you're a natural and I am not. Just keep at it Mike...over time, it gets better and better and your confidence will increase as well. To be honest, I really like the timbre of your voice and seriously feel you have nothing to be concerned about. You have good pitch, nice delivery, vibrato when you need it and a good sound. :)
