Fanger Lickin' -- Please Listen!

Please let me know what you think. Should I keep working on it, or should I quit? I seem to be mixing this song to death!

You go! I love those crystal clear Fender tones.

I have a 1999 American Standard Tele. I tore it apart and put a Seymour Duncan (Jerry Donahue) lead pickup in it, and a vintage stack in the rhythm position. I shielded the body and all of the wiring to prevent buzz. I have the standard three way switch, and also have a 3 way micro switch between the volume and tone knob, for a few more sounds.

I use a 1968 Blackface Fender Twin, which I purchased from Ebay last year. It has old tubes in it. I'm not sure how old, but it still sounds pretty good. It has Jensen Special Design speakers in it. They are as old as dirt.
I run compression and reverb on this song.

I did mic the amp out on this recording. I used a 57 left, and a Roland DR-20 on the right. I guess the compression got rid of the mic "air sound"! I did pan hard left and hard right. The left guitar track is 1 femtosecond ahead in time of the right guitar track.
(one quadrillionth of a second)

I played all of the instruments on the song, here in my little bedroom studio. I have no "sound proof" insulation on the walls, just carpet on the floor and some pictures on the walls. I appreciate your great comments so far on the tune! Thanks!!!

I am still learning a lot about recording. Some people say that my recordings sound great, and some people say that they need a lot of improvement. I am having a hard time finding a stopping point. Some guys say that the guitar tone is awesome, and some say that it is too compressed, too dry, too loud, too soft, sounds bad, etc. I never know when to stop mixing the songs. I never seem to be satisfied with them, until I mix them to death.

Jerry Donahue let me play his main tele once in St. Louis. I want to say it was made of basswood or something light anyway. That pickup he had in the rear was amazing. At the flip of a switch it sounded exactly like a strat in the 4th position. He had a strat pickup in the front. I don't know how you feel about that 3-way switch in the tele butI always hated the way it butted up against the volume knob when set in the rear position. I just swapped it out for a Les Paul switch and turned it slightly off-center so when it was in the rear position it would actually be pointing down past the volume knob. Not straight down toward the floor but at about a 75% angle. That was one of the best and easiest modifications I ever made on a guitar. I was afraid the slot from the old switch would stick out noticably with a Lse Paul switch in there but it didn't look bad at all. Wish I still had that guitar....
