Song with my new Ric 360 12

Hi.

I just did my first recording with my new to me Ric 360 12.

Its a song written by Brian Henneman of the Bottle Rockets called Gravity Fails.

I wasnt going for a Beatly/Bryds sound, wanted a more modern but still familiar Ric tone.

I am still not 100% happy with the mix, so if you have comments/suggestions, let me know

Just bumping...

40 views, no comments?

Maybe its not as good as I thought?

I'm tough, I can take some constructive suggestions!

As recordings go, it was pretty good. I think it's the lyric I had a little difficulty with. Seemed like a mixed metaphor; Gravity fails, and I'm falling down.....or maybe I simply misunderstood.

Hey Steven,

That is one of my all-time favorite songs. I think you did an admirable job on a really great rocker.

You know, Brian Henneman is a new member to the RRF.

Maybe he can give it a listen and you can get some feedback from the master. Some recent threads:

and

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=411065&p=821122&hil ... an#p821122

He does an acoustic version here but note the RIC 360 sitting in the background:

That's not an easy song to nail and I like what you did with it.Keep it up. (Maybe you can do "Thousand Dollar Car"!!

)

I like to hear some RRFers try more Bottle Rockets and also Guandalcanal Diary.

Best,

Tim

Sorry, didn't mean to hijack the thread but I like your cover and your choice of band to cover.

Tim,

Thanks for the encouragement! I love Brian's songs, and the bands sound

I found Brian's thread yesterday, praised his music and told him the first song I played with my new 360 12 was Gravity Fails. It would really be a treat if he gave it a listen!
