I’ve been blogging about acoustic guitars and recording for few years now and recently decided to switch to the WordPress platform. I’ll transfer the content from the old blog, but unfortunately I haven’t figured out how to transfer the comments. I’m also unable to make the old permalinks work, so those will turn into dead links.

I hope you find the information in this blog of interest and value, and I hope you’ll join me in the fun of making home brewed music.

I am not a guitar expert, nor am I a recording expert, but I enjoy both. My guitar playing is almost exclusively Hawaiian slack key, and my recordings are almost exclusively my own solo acoustic guitar projects. As a result, I know nothing about overdubbing, and my use of effects is pretty limited.

I’m a big fan of Doug Young‘s playing and recording skills, and we’ve experimented together with mics and microphone techniques, as well as other aspects of recording. One of the observations he often makes is that there is relatively little information directly related to fingerstyle acoustic guitar recording. I’ll try to do my part to add a little to the information on this topic, based on my own experiences.

I’ll also share what I learn about sound reinforcement for live performance from a player’s point of view. Once again, I’m no expert in this area, but my mistakes and learning experiences might save you a little time and trouble, or stimulate some new ideas.
