Guitar chord forum - chordie → My local band and me → Autumn Leaves, Acoustic
Hello,
I have been having a heck of a time with my Presonus Interface since I purchased a new PC , so I am back to using my Zoom Q-3.
Today I sat down and recorded Autumn Leaves with an acoustic guitar and did it in one take. My dog was in and out of the dog door a couple of times during the recording , but what the heck.
Here Goes,

I loved it Wayne! Gave you the thumbs up on YouTube The space you're in has a great acoustics. Sweet guitar work. I accompanied someone for this once - it was the jazzy version with lots of monstrous chords. Yours is much more pleasant.
May I make a suggestion? Mess around with where your right hand is for some parts, especially for something like that where you're fingerpicking rather than strumming. For most of a song it should be just right of the sound-hole. If you want a wider, sort of bassier, sweet sound, play near the neck. If you want a thinner, tighter, maybe more aggressive sound play near the bridge. This is what classical string players call tasto and ponticello.

Wayne, nice job. What are you using for a sound system ? Great sound. Also I play the Big Horns in the summer. What part of Wyoming are you in ?

Thanks,
I used a Audix ADX-51 small condensor mic that is picking up guitar and vocals and I run the mic into a Genz-Benz Compak 300 acoustic amp and the Genz Benz fills the room with sound so I just Set the Zoom Q-3 up about anywhere and it comes out pretty good acoustic wise.
I am from Gillette, I have been to the Bighorn Mountain Festival all but the first year. I am hoping to make it this year and I also like to attend the Nowoodstock Festival in Ten Sleep. I am hoping to catch some others in Wyoming and Colorado. I will be working 14 on and 14 off schedule so I hope I hit the right days off.
Wayne ,Thanks for sharing. I'll have to check out that gear. I'm always tied up on the weekends when all those cool shows are happening. Been thru Gillette many times. Keep on rockin' dude.
Joe

Very nice, Wayne!
Great, Wayne. Is that the J45? It sounds good too. I'm still thinking of getting one the next time around.
Thanks everyone,
Sorry I haven't been around much lately to contribute.
Yes , the guitar is a J-45 and just a really nice guitar with sweet voice.
