  Dark End of the Street Instrumental (steel or nylon?)

Hey everybody. I have a couple more tracks to post. This song, which I don't know who wrote, I've heard recorded by Frank Black and Troy Cassar-Daley. I really like the song. Anyways, I've posted two solo instrumentals I did. One is steel and the other is nylon.

I just figured how to adapt my 6.5mm guitar plug to the 3.5mm socket in my PC, so the steel one is coming out of the pickup. Funny, I think I can here some electrodes running around in that track

The nylon is recorded on a poor set of headphone/mics.

Please let me know which instrument you think does the song more justice and if my transcription sounds right. There are a couple of mistakes in both.

Thanks guitar hombres!

Well... the recording sounded much better on the steel... Excellent playing on both...!!!


All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

I think both takes are excellent Dugal, both a pleasure to listen to.
Apart from the obvious difference in recording technique, I wouln't choose between either of them, they both stand up so well on their own.
Thanks for the chance to hear you.

  Steel or nylon

After listening, I find that I feel storngly both ways. But if push came to shove I would come down on the side of the steel. VERY nicely done in both cases.

I think the classical would be best if your mics/preamp were better, but both sound good.
