It's all done on my old Yamaha FG330 and the internal DP_004 mic's. Excuse the vocals - as mentioned elsewhere I'm more of a growler than singer, but I wanted to demo the mic's with a human voice as well as guitar. I really like the tone of the old Yamaha through these condenser mics - it sounds much brighter than when I'd recorded it previously (still hanker after a solid top one day though!!). I mixed the final version using Audacity - if you listen through headphones you'll hopefully hear three or four guitar parts all spread across the stereo spectrum. Anyway, in my humble opinion, the DP_004 is a superb piece of kit. Kind regards and happy new year!

After that, all the arrangements are from myself. Therefore, I have changed the name from &#34Boot Heel Drag&#34 to &#34Boot Heel Swing&#34. I play all the instruments. They are &#34multitracked&#34 on Audacity software on my laptop. (The lapsteel (Karrera) is a single neck & is tuned to C6.). I give the &#39ol flat top 2 lead breaks in this. The rhythm is all 7th&#39s & 9th&#39s to give dat country swing feel. Hope you enjoy it !.

The lapsteel is the feature instrument (using C6 tuning C-E-G-A-C-E)but I couldn't resist a bit of pickin' & grinnin' on the ol' flat top. The rhythm chords are 6th's & major 7th's to give it a jazz feel. I have multitracked myself using simple shareware.
