Viking Clip Clean - Attempt at Gravity, not clean
http://www.box.net/shared/6r8s7czx0f
I said I would put up a clip of the Hagstrom Viking played clean. I worked for over an hour yesterday recording a take that sounded pretty good for what I can do, re-doing mistakes, putting stuff together. This isn't it. LOL! I lost that one when my computer seized up from all my re-takes and crashed, and I hadn't saved my work. So this is a once through take starting off with a clam on the first note. On the chords, some are new shapes, and some I am trying to play with the thumb over the top, and I tend to bend the chord out of tune. At this point, I am just trying to form the chords and strum them once or twice between changes. As I get more comfortable, I will try to play them more like Mayer does. Anyhow, here it is clams and all. There is time left if someone wants to record over the second half of the backer.
The Viking was on the neck pickup, clean, tone turned up, volume most of the way up but not dimed.
