May you find peace and comfort

Well Done as always Sir!!! I really like that quacky strat sound!!! Best tone yet. Thanks for sharing

If it keeps me safe then I'm OK with it. Besides, with the shape I'm in, they'd look once. It'd be way worse for them than for me!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just bought a Chinese Dot Studio...too cheap to pass up and I noticed the pups are muddy as hell. I may just try to swap them out.

I have been a Martin for a decade. He is a fantastic artist who stays true to his craft. I've seen in him in small and large venues, he is phenomal live and in the studio. His voice is as fine as any in any genre. Please check out his earlier stuff to get a good vibe. His album "Black Sheep" is my favorite and led to a record deal with Atlantic (who he's no longer with). He's back on an independent label and records in Western Mass and upstate NY. He's a very good player but what distinguishes him from the pack is his voice; his voice is truly amazing.

His sister Colleen is no slouch either!

I like to do a similar thing with hearing the effects but arrived there in a different way. My set up is very effective and not too pricey. I use a Line6 Pocket Pod for effects and a set of Alesis M1Active 320 USB speakers. The speakers have multiple inputs so you can feed both the "amp out" jack as well as the pc sound into them at the same time (this could serve as your makeshift amp as well and they are kick ass PC speakers for all applications). The Alesis speakers also have a front head phone jack (as does the pocket pod). So if you're using a mic you can plug in the head phones at the speakers. They each retail for about 100 US. I also use a Tascam interface but it just for finer control of the inputs and you could get by without it.

I hope this helps.

Well Done. Those lyrics are powerful man...keep them coming.

I'm digging my Line 6 Pocket Pod. USB connectivity, downloadable tones, user created tones, battery powered (although not for long), LCD screen all for around $100 US. Line 6 gets some bad press but I love the pod. Big fun short money. It may not sound good enough for the purists but those folks are never happy. If you want to sound exactly like a vintage Fender tube amp...then go buy one otherwise buy a Pod product. There's even a cheaper one now (Pod Express maybe?). I have heard good things about Digitech as well.

Excellent idea. Sounds like a plan

How about "End" for the title. Simple and sweet.

I think a good Chorus is important (as it usually played at least 2x's) and for me is usually what makes me remember the tune. I do agree with Zurf's storytelling in Folk though. There is nothing better than a good story from Cash, Kristofferson, Prine, etc. The story they tell is usually at least as memorable as anything musically they do. Amazing how they can turn a simple chord progression into a classic with a story.
