So, I did an acoustic thing with added video (it's not pretty!)

Sounds great, Cam, thanks for sharing. Soul food on this grey and wet morning. Lovely song and I'm really enjoying your voice which has a good balance of style for my tastes; not too American as someone said, and not too overly-folky English, if that makes sense.

Assuming this track is your J-150? Perfect in this context, bet you're glad you didn't trade it for my old Atkin

What was the guitar on the track in original post?

Great production, technically sounds good and also musically. Well done with the singing tbh! Great !!

Cheers Thomas. I'm pretty sure it's the Gibson J-150. I only took two guitars, the J-150 and the Bourgeois OM. I think I ended up using the J-150 for four tracks as I just love the sound of it. I'd need to concentrate to work out which track has the OM. But that's pretty much the straight sound of the guitars through a ribbon mic with minimal EQ.

But thanks... that's nice to hear you enjoyed it.

Best,

Cam

I know! I love that J-150, but I'm too small for it to play sitting down. I have to put on a strap even sitting down and it still feels like I'm wrestling with a bear. But I do still love these bigger body guitars - I just can't seem to resist them. I like being on my feet when I play, so it's not a problem live. These days my small body needs are met mainly with a lovely wee Gibson L1-style guitar. It looks like an old L1 12 fret but has more a modern style of build. Cracking wee thing.

Ah well, whenever I think I'm settled, there's always another guitar temptation just over the horizon.

Thanks for the positive feedback too.

Somebody asked why I was giving my music away. I'm not really. I've just had a lot of useful advice and some happy deals on here, so I just thought I'd offer something back. Usually, I quite like being paid for my music, but I do like sharing it with friends too.

So as the last chapter of this thread, my EP is out today on Bandcamp (https://boulderfields.bandcamp.com/album/falkirk-attic-ep) and I'd appreciate any shares you could give it. It's 'pay what you can' so don't let money get in the way of our love.

Anyway, just to scare you all shitless, here's me in all my gnarled, old glory. I made the promo too - my first time editing (DaVinci Resolve 17) and it damn near made my head explode. But it was still kind of fun. I shot it and edited it so feel free to ask me any questions - it wasn't easy but it was doable. Please share if you can.

Howdy, Stranger!
