Thanks so much. Was on a Dylan kick for a while and now seem to be in a grateful dead phase. Hope you have a great week!

Nice! First time I have seen you play electric.

Thanks philb! I’m not sure how appropriate it is to post electric stuff on an ‘Acoustic Challenge’ website but I figured why not. FYI here was my last/first post with my LP (it’s a 2019 r9 in ‘factory burst’). https://tonypolecastro.com/family-forums/topic/althea-grateful-dead-cover/
The quality on this video is way better – not sure why, it’s the same camera on my macbook. I guess just better lighting.
Also just FYI I’m playing through a Spark2 amp (which is awesome for learning about different amps and effects), and recording with a Rode NT1 mic about 6-inches in front of the speaker. I see other folks in studios that have the mic just sitting right in front of the cabinet but I get a bunch of distortion with the mic that close and couldn’t figure out how to clean it up. “Damnit Jim I’m a guitar player not a sound engineer!” (little star trek reference there – if you know, you know)
Rock on and hope you have a great week ahead!

Hey @DiscostewLA that was great! Both songs! Althea blew me away…you are so smooth man…barre chords and transitions slick like butter. Really nice singing too….just loved it, very inspiring. And yeah thats a beauty Les Paul…I went electric this past year also. Got myself a PRS SE (which I love…fits me like a glove), and a Fender Mustang LT40S amp. While I still mostly gravitate to my acoustics, been having lots of fun making the transition. And figuring out the gear is definitely a learning curve, my lack of knowledge is vast but having a blast anyway. Youve prompted me to bring “Blondie” out and plug her in. Beam me up Scotty!
