Larrivee Parlor Mp3

[TaylorFishin']

I couldn't sleep tonight so I decided to finally record my "Little Larry".
He's a Koa/Spruce model and love's to travel. He enjoy's Fingerstyle with the rare strum thrown in just for fun. ;)

I've wondered what the little Parlor would sound like recorded for quite some time now. I decided, since I'm wide awake at 1:00 AM, tonight is the night.

I used one ADK mic into a small 6 channel mixer then straight to my PC's soundcard. This was the first take. There are a few missed notes but I figured it was about as good as I would get it tonight. :D

Well, we hear the results of matching a very schweeeet sounding guitar with a really great player. It doesn't get any better than this campers.

Nice job, TaylorFishin'.   What is an ADK mike,
and how far was the mike from the guitar?

[TaylorFishin']

Thanks very much everyone! Your kind words are very encouraging to me.

Poki - You have great taste in guitars!  :D  I have found playing guitar to be a never ending learning process.

Zmony - The song was written by Jerry Reed. It's called "Blue Finger".

Tom - You are too kind!

Bluzdulcimer - The ADK mic is a little known hidden Gem. (At least I think).
My Vienna Edition model is a large diaphragm condenser. ADK's are made in China and seem to be of high quality. I have a Rode NT1 and much prefer the ADK. The S51 or Vienna Edition are around $225.00 new.
They were recommended to me by the owner of a local Bluegrass establishment. He has the Top name's in Bluegrass perform at his building every Saturday night. A few of these bands were bringing these ADK's with them for live sound and also using them to record their CD's. Knowing how important a good mic is to a Bluegrass player, I decided to try one.

The mic was about 18" from the guitar where the neck meets the body.

I've got a Koa/Spruce parlor but mine doesn't sound like that... could be my playing.  

I want to sound like that when I get better!   :o

Ya baby, Ya.

[Michael K]

Wow!!  I have a little Parlor also, but mine hasn't learned all those tricks yet!  Very nice!!

[contact]

Cool!  Nice playing and nice tone from the guitar...

What tune is that or is an original?

Also:

what strings do you have on?

what kind of nut and saddle?


TRES NICE

[TaylorFishin']

Thanks slim, little jack, Michael and contact. :D

Contact - The song is called "Blue Finger". It was written by Jerry Reed.
The strings are Elixir polyweb lights. ( I prefer Nanos)
The nut and saddle are both original.

Thanks again guys,

Scott

Gosh...I thought I was listening to Stephen King. (The guitarist....not the writer.) Very, very cool!
