rockabilly69 Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 I am really loving my new (to me) H150. I spent all night writing the guitar fill/song in this song. It comes in on the two choruses and is also the chordal/melody solo. This guitar is really nailing what I'm hearing in my head. The acoustic guitar is The Parkwood LE061 that I was selling here at the forum, but I decided to keep. Here's the song... http://soundcloud.co...blink-of-an-eye
mars_hall Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 Very organic pro rated material. It reminds me of the folk rock scene from the past which embedded itself in my soul. Keep it coming!
H Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 Excellent work again! Mods: would it be possible to create another area in the site for self-performed music submissions? At present these are spread between this area and the Family Tree and are easily lost in the rest of the frequent posts in those parts of the site.

I love listening to some of the great music (like this one) that Heritage folks put on the site.
bolero Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 wow, that sounds fantastic!! still listening...but how did you mic/record the acoustic? very good gtr sound aha...here comes the electric hot damn, very tasty stuff!!
bolero Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 I really like the vocal harmony's too, nice job!
TalismanRich Posted November 11, 2012 Posted November 11, 2012 Trying to catch up on the all the posts that I've missed in the past week and this is a GEM! Great song.
rockabilly69 Posted November 11, 2012 Author Posted November 11, 2012 wow, that sounds fantastic!! still listening...but how did you mic/record the acoustic? very good gtr sound aha...here comes the electric hot damn, very tasty stuff!! The acoustic guitar was mic'd M/S with a Rode NTK (John Bonnell modded) as the mid mic, and a Rode K2 as the side mic. They are run straight into a RME UCX which has 2 very great mic preamps. The electric guitar is my H150 run into a GSP1101, then into a Drawmer 1960 preamp/compressor, which is the most used piece of gear I own. The vocals were recorded with a CAD E200 (original model), into the same Drawmer 1960. What's funny, I see bad reviews for every piece of gear I used, except for maybe the RME UCX, but, I love every one of these pieces! And I really love my H150! Here's the same mic setup on my National Reso, this is a demo that I will properly record next week! I was just singing into the guitar mics:) http://soundcloud.co...n-1/the-station
koula901 Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 I like the uniqueness of your style. You strike me as an original. Nice work!
Gillnetter Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 Really good stuff. I like all of your songs that you have on Soundcloud. Very talented.
bolero Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 that reso sounds killer!! like the vocals too, I wish i could sing
bolero Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 what does that mean, lol I mean to get one of those things, I love them.
JeffB Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 what does that mean, lol I mean to get one of those things, I love them. Walking around a store full of tempting bits and pieces and the only thing that jumps out as something important to have is a resonator guitar.
rockabilly69 Posted November 20, 2012 Author Posted November 20, 2012 When I was recording my first CD I had to have a reso for a song I was working on. Of course I was broke as I just started out as a fulltime musician, so I sold a Gretsch guitar that I had to buy one, and that led me down the slippery slope:) The first one was a cheap Johnson Model 0 knockoff, and within days I started modding it to sound like a National. I first swapped out the biscuit, then a new cone, and then a new neck. Not long after my girlfriend bought me a National Western D and that sealed the deal I was hooked!
gpuma Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 what does that mean, lol I mean to get one of those things, I love them. Tricones are the very first concept developed by John Dopyera (that later founded with his brother the brand DOBRO, DOpyera BROthers) to produce an instrument loud enough to play in a band setting. Later, to make them more affordable, Dobro introduced single cone versions with wooden body. What Rockabilly has is a fine example!
bolero Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 interesting, thx gpuma! one of the best lyrics ever: "The Mississippi Delta was shining like a National guitar"
