I had to think about this for a minute, I guess my top four if I had to play off the cuff in hurry would be copper head road, wish you were here, pirate looks at forty and oil field trash. I can play those even when I am hammered

I really enjoyed both versions of your song Mojo ..... both had my attention, both were great listening. I think the studio one was more professional on the recording side and I think you played it without the capo on the 3rd fret? where as the original you played it with the capo on? I think the original was still good though as you have a natural talent anyway. Hard to choose between the two songs which i preferred as they were both good. I guess if it boiled down to it, the recorded version would be better listening on the radio for the sound quality but as I said tough choice as i like both versions.
I went back and listened to both and you are correct I did play it with a capo on the third fret on the first one, I some times forget to make notes on things like that and forget. now you have wondering what it would have sounded like in the studio on the third fret.

well here is the first from my trip to the studio. curious to hear from every one opinions on the difference in the two recordings. Questions I ask myself, was it worth the time and money? ( yes ,if nothing else for the experience) should I go back and record more songs? ( jury still out on that one)I am heading off to work tomorrow and will post the other songs I recorded in a few days. looking forward to HONEST opinions and input.

Sorry to hear about the annoyance, Bill ...
Do you use a tuner (to keep from tuning too high)? These little clip-on doo-hickies are cheap and work surprisingly well. It'll help you prevent over-tightening, if that's the main source of the breakage.

Topic: recording (6 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
well I finally went into the recording studio this week for the first time . I go to pick up my CD tomorrow. it was an interesting experience. a couple of the songs I felt like I nailed them on the first try and a couple took a few tries and probably could have done better on but time and money, well I was ok with how they turned out.
as a side note I can now say I have recorded in the same studio as Willie Nelson and Chris Kristofferson it was pretty cool hearing from Dana the guy that owns the place telling the stories about Willie and Chris when they were recording there.
I will try to get them up on sound cloud in a few days

Here's my go at The Weight.
I was going to record Wish You Were Here last month but MOJO1 nailed it so well that I decided to let it slide.
I'm going to pass on Jack And Diane...can't fit any harp into it, so far.
good job on the weight, lol but that is a lame excuse for not doing wish you were here

Zelie: Secret Botanical Name
Azélie-Marie Guerin was born in 1831 in a tiny French village. She considered religious life, but ultimately married.She and Louis Martin raised a family, including the future Saint Thérèse of Lisieux. Therese is one of the most well-known and widely admired saints of the modern era. Her writings were published posthumously as Story of a Soul.
Both Monsieur and Madame Martin have been beatified, and will be canonized in October 2015, meaning that the Catholic Church will soon have a Saint Zelie.
Azelie is the French word for Azalea, making Zelie a subtle nature name.
