Country Girl - Crosby Stills Nash & Young cover w/ 4 part hamonies

This was my second ever pure digital recording made on 2/3/07. I plugged my stereo mic directly into my soundcard and set up the songbook in front of me (it had been decades since I played this one!) and recorded a live solo acoustic version in one take.

Back then I did not know how to video myself while recording and combine the two like I do now so I put together a slide show of some great CSNY photos that are probably a lot more interesting than watching me play while reading a songbook!
In October 2007 I had been experimenting with overdubbing harmony vocals so I decided to turn my solo recording into a four part harmony version which meant singing each harmony part individually four times.
I still don't have multi-tracking capability so this was simple overdub right onto the WAV file.

Now I knew going in that there was absolutely no way that one amateur guy with only a guitar and one cheap microphone could ever do this song justice but I wanted to try this because for me Harmony vocals were very much something new. I was surprised that each harmony vocal did not take all that long to do. As with all the songs I do I'm able to hear the original very clearly in my memory so that was my guide. So this is my amateur take on this great song from Deja Vu!
