Recording the acoustic guitar at home. Here’s the result, Autumn love

So far I have tested my recording toy only with the Variax. This is because I really didn’t need anything else, my Variax guitar provides me all the tones I need, including acoustic tones which are pretty realistic.

However, suddenly I started to ask myself how my acoustic guitar would sound recorded through TonePort UX1. So far I didn’t try it because, to my shame, I didn’t have a battery for the EQ, it ran out and because I didn’t have the need of using it on stage lately, I forgot to buy one. So yesterday while buying some groceries I remembered about it and bought a battery also.

I started to record my acoustic and because I didn’t have anything planed, I started to play Tears in heaven, just to see how it sounds. When listening it, I started to improvise over the backing track and…I kept the record and decided to upload it here.

I must admit it has a few bumps and off-tempo notes, because it was recorded in one take, I could have removed them, actually I even recorded 2 other better versions of the solo part but none had the same feeling like this one, so I decided to keep it. Despite the fact that it is not perfect, this version is the most soulful.

So because it made me think of autumn and love, I called it…Autumn love. Not very original, I know, but hey, I didn’t think too much of it, it was an impulse name. I also put up a small video, following Dr J’s example.
