Hi Steve , this is nice and natural sounding. It's also a brutally honest recording of a man in a room singing with a guitar. It all depends if this is what your after soundwise or if you want to add reverb etc. You've clearly got the talent.
Greetings, Rik

I guess people don't want brutal honesty, as you're the only one who commented. (I note that many of the synthesized, 20-track efforts get lots of comments). Anyway, I did record a cover tonight into the DAW to get some e.q. and add some stereo reverb. What do you think? http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.aspx?high=&m=2308535&mpage=1#2308535

Very nicely done. This one seems to be very true to the original. The levels are better here than on your version of Fire and Rain. I am having some buffering issues with YouTube, but it was recorded very clearly. Nice work. James is not the easiest guitarist to replicate, but surely is a master at his art.

recorded very clearly. Nice work. James is not the easiest guitarist to replicate, but surely is a master Thanks. I try to stay true to the original, whiel recording guitar and voice simultaneously. I know most others around here would record a track at a time, which allows one to be a perfectionist, but there is something to be said for the direct-to-two-track approach.

Hi, Colonel. Finally took the time to listen to 3 of your JT covers. I appreciate the PM to clue me in and that you think my opinion is of value.
Nicely done, guitar and vox-wise. It all sounds good to me, I'll leave the comments on EQ, reverb, etc. to those with better ears than I have.
I take it you're an Air Force JAG? When do you get the time to practice and record?
Anyway, good job, I enjoyed the songs.

Ithink you play very nicely and the vocal is also very good. You know, sometimes people just don't come here for awhile and a post can go for quite awhile without a reply. Don't ever take that as an insult. I was amazed at how good that sounded just recorded into a camcorder. nice job. Oh, if you are a JAG, the Army JAG at Ft. Bragg saved my bacon one time when I went "above and beyond" in Myrtle Beach. I've had a soft spot for JAGs since then.:-)

Thanks to the recent posters for the nice comments. I'd like to do some originals one of these days, but I write appellate briefs for a living, and that seems to to sap the creativity out of me . . . .
