Daybreak in Dixie
Monday, June 8, 2009 at 2:36 am
Every once in a while it is important to take some time out for culture.
I recorded the following two songs this evening for some good friends of mine in a little basement studio we built a year or so ago. These tracks were done very quickly (they just needed a rough demo to present to a venue) with very little mixing and no mastering. It was all done live, with no overdubs.
If you enjoy some really hot guitar and mandolin pickin’, then turn it up. If you don’t enjoy good acoustic music, take some time out for some Bluegrass culture, and listen anyway.
ROFL!!!!!!!!!!
Good pickin’
Best Woodshed post ever.
THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN.
God bless the insomniacs. Glad you’re still awake to enjoy it Fly.
I’ll try and get some fiddle (violin) for you next time.
Very nice.
A side project of mine is setting up a website for some friends and their cover band. Recommend you tell Jeremy to give you the WP audio plugin, which will allow you to directly embed the .mp3 into the page with a simple [audio:] in the .html.
Tight. Nice stuff. Why don’t you come to Nashville and get a new career? Did you play mando?
Great stuff Shed! Are you playing or recording/mixing for others? Get the links to play while reading your posts for some real out in the woodshed atmosphere.
My 4 yr old is getting jiggy over here.
DPeezy, I’ll email Jeremy and let him know, thanks!
BOOMS, nah, I didn’t play anything on this. Any new career would have to be in the recording/engineering dept. as my chops aren’t up to the level of these guys.
I thought you would like it though. He’s playing a Collings Clarence White model, and the mando is some vintage model that I can no longer recollect.
Eddie, I used to record with the mandolin player, but, ahem, he found himself a better guitar picker, lol…Seriously though, I have a hard time finding enough time to keep practicing the way I should. I think they are going to have me record a full bluegrass band setup, in the near future. If it happens, I’ll post the links to the tracks.
Yes, fine culture at last on iBC.
Now I am ready to trade.
That’s right, a Florida boy understands what I’m talkin about!
I was pretty impressed with the playing. I was thinking “damn, Shed can shred.” Now I find out its not you. Loser.
You have a Protools rig?
Here’s clip of my son playing drums. He just turned 8. We wrote the “song” together and recorded it in Garageband. The boy sat down, headphones on, one take, done. Now, its far from perfect, but for 8 I was blown away.

Boom, I can hang, but I can’t shred like that guy. 2 years of not practicing regularly has taken its toll.
I’m old school, using N-tracks, M-audio, and another better pre-amp/compressor whose name escapes me, and an FMR really nice compressor. A could of decent condensers.
The gear really doesn’t make the sound…its the engineer and mixing guy that makes the magic
lol…
My buddy is upgrading to some better preamps, a new mic or two, and we are going to an AAPL based system. Gonna try garage band out, and if we don’t like, he’ll look at Logic.
I’ll have to look at your video at home. Our entire network is down. Seriously the ONLY site I can access is iBC. No joke. The ONLY site.
