Ok I have been debating about posting a song here. Most people here are very talented as musicians and recording artist. I don't play keyboards I only play Guitar, Bass, and Drums. My main instrument is acoustic guitar. My solo acoustic guitar tracks are only one single track with no overdubs.

So Here is one lowly acoustic guitar track. It is just one track and a punch in point after the slide work. Just a solo acoustic finger picking version of Amazing grace. recorded using X1 for a movie.

That was very nice... reminded me of one of my favs, Ry Cooder... well done...

About 10 ~ 15 during the course of the year, I say to myself that I'm going to record an instrumental of this and post, and I never do. It's one of my favorite songs.

The only thing I picked up on was the scraping of the slide ... I've done some slide work in a few songs and it's hard to avoid capturing that scraping sound. I was reading that glass slides help with that problem but I don't know how well.

Sounds great, I don't hear any mix/mastering problems.

Hi, Marcus,
 
Very nice job on this, excellent playing, great guitar tone and nicely recorded!
 
Beautiful version of a timeless song, thanks for sharing!
Bob

Nice! Very nice!!! Almost like something Paul Simon and Ry Cooder would do.

Well done!!!

Notnat Thanks for taking the time to listen. Ry cooder is one of my favs too

Bub Thanks for your input. The guitar I was using to record has very low action which makes it hard to do something about the noise of the slide. I did this on purpose to capture some of the noise as an effect. I have another guitar that has higher action and I can control the noise much better. but it does not sound as good as the guitar in the recording.

your right about controlling the noise from the slide. Sometimes it can be a hassle.

Bob Thanks for listening and thank you for the comment.

Guitarpima Thank you for checking out the song.

I really appreciate the support of this forum and all the great people who take the time to help and give their input

very nice indeed. 

 Very nice rendition of Amazing Grace. Far from anything "lowly" as you say. Loved it!

Marcus, you needn't worry about the quality of your playing.  It has an old time vibe that can get lost in this modern world.  I'd rather hear your version of this song at my funeral than many other.

Gorgeous Marcus - more please.
