not my kind of music, but i totally appreciate your talent!

Mar mar, I really appreciate the appreciation :)

Your ability to produce your tracks is impressive. :3 The guitar sounds clear, no masking or anything business like that.

I really like the reverb as well man, adds so much to the vocals. Good job

Thanks :) I keep playing around with this shit and finding new things every time I do. My latest thing is messing with this multi layered reverb thing were I set a really shallow reverb like a small room pretty loud and then set another one at half that volume or less that is bigger. I try not to mess to much with the frequencies my mics hear though. I like things to sound natural. One thing that really bugs me about modern recordings is how everyone just takes the natural tone of their instruments and just guts them with filters, compression, autotuning and bleh. It sounds like crap and I wish they would stop. Things have a natural beauty and that needs to be a part of the music in my opinion.

Well, there is that and trying to figure out how I should mix these new pencil mics.

Not bad, sir. Much closer to the original rather than the Led Zepplin version, but it feels more unified. The original sounded too much like the singer was taking turns with the guitar's plinkety-plink.

Most excellent. Also, amen to too many curve balls.

You know, I often wonder how much of that "plinkety-plink" comes from the awful recording technology they had or the awful guitars they used. Listening to old folk recordings isn't easy but a lot of times it is interesting to hear the little things like birds in the background and other random noise from the area they were recording in, or to hear the way that songs were originally picked. I have a ton of stuff from this era that in neigh unlistenable but it is a gold mine of interesting things.

I think this means I should investigate. I know just who to ask about it. Abd you're indeed right about some of the interesting extras.

I feel really dumb. Until this point, I didn't even know Led Zeppelin covered this song. Ugh...
Either way, this cover is amazing. I love this kind of folk, so your music made my mouth happy.

Wow, if you somehow managed to hear the original before the Zeppelin version then I applaud you. That takes some luck and talent. The funny thing is that Dylan likes doing this at his shows now and he covers the Zepplin version. It would have been interesting to hear it had he recorded that song in 1963 before he went electric. Thank you btw:)

No no no, you misunderstand me. I didn't know Led Zeppelin covered the song; I thought it was an original. I certainly wish I'd heard the original first, as that would have saved me a lot of embarrassment. Either way, they are both great versions.

Oh lol, yeah there is a lot of that sort of confusion in rock and folk music. I mean, how many people know that Bob dylan wrote all along the watchtower, Knock'n on Heavens Door, and Tambourine man? Or that Leonard Cohen wrote hallelujah? Or that it was Jimi Hendrix and not Stephen "Stevie" Ray Vaughan that wrote "Little Wing." Hell, I remember hearing sound Gardens cover over "Black Hole Sun" and all my friends going "wow this is a great new song!"

There are a ton covers that made it way bigger than the originals. I wouldn't feel too bad :)

Hallelujah and Little Wing I knew, the rest...not so much...
And, are you telling me that Sound Garden did not write Black Hole Sun???
