Description
I have submitted this piece before, but I know my previous recordings were not up to par.

I think one special thing that I noticed about this recording is that it isn't as noisy in the background. I tried my best to keep the levels down with out clipping.
It helped to get further away from the two mics. I think it creates more ambience.
I went to one of the top guitar shops in the world in San Francisco and a guy there recommended I use light gauged strings instead of my medium gauged strings. I think that it not only helped with the tone but I really think it even helped eliminate major squeaks from sliding up and down the fretboard. It is much easier to press down on the fretboard now. It makes a world of difference because I don't have to press nearly as hard on the strings to get them pressed onto the fretboard. Actually I like the sound better because it gives my fingers more playing room.

Great Sound
Bill,
It sounds like you fixed all your problems. There is a
natural room echo now which gives it warmth. No string
noise either. I've been using light gaugue for a long time.
So much easier on your fingers.

Best version yet
Still a wonderful piece and tribute to your aunt. As with
your last two songs with your new mic and string setup,
WOW, what a wonderful difference! I hope you continue to
re-record your previous music like this.

I like to use Elixir nano-web coated strings on my Taylor.
That and a little Fast Fretâ„¢.

Thanks,
I am using Elixir

I guess that is how you spell it.

I am not sure if they are nano, not even sure what that means.

But they are light guaged and that is shear heaven compared to the medium I
have been using.

Also thanks so much for being so receptive in understanding my music and
it's sounds.

It's getting better...

all the time. This is cleaner and even a finer guitar
piece than before.
