Another Home Recording Experience, This Time Layla

Following the recording I did a couple of weeks ago, last night I started to fool around with Clapton’s song, Layla, in front of my computer. It didn’t take me much to want to record it to see how it sounds. Once that the first notes were recorded, of course, I wanted more. However, it was late, the acoustic guitar sounds kind of loud so I didn’t go too far.

However, something came out of it, a refreshing take, unplugged, a bit faster than the original recording (this is how I hear this song, by the way) based on the unplugged version. Maybe I could give it a bit more air in some parts, but if I will have the time, maybe I will clean it later.

Those of you familiar with the unplugged album will recognize probably parts of the unplugged solos, the tempo and the general feeling, I guess. It’s not a one on one take, since I haven’t listened that song in a while, so it’s just what I remembered, without trying to follow the exact structure of the song.

At the end I wanted to make a video out of it, to upload it on YouTube, but each time I compiled the movie, I don’t know why, some notes ended up scrambled, out of tempo, because of the compression, I guess. So, I stopped and I decided to put the song here as audio only.

So, here it is! Enjoy my personal version of Layla!
