I learned and recorded this simple arrangement yesterday and today. I hope you enjoy. Three acoustic guitar tracks and a bass.

Carol of the Bells

Keith,
That is some recording. Wonderful playing.

Wonderful job RB. I used to sing that carol when I was a member of a choral in high school. That was a loonng time ago.

It's almost Christmas! Time to begin the week-long Festivus celebration!

I hope everyone has a great holiday.

Once again, I loved it. The mix played really well, with a lot of "call/response" kind of action going on with the parts. Great job! You're a pro!

I keep banging on about the amazing sound of an acoustic guitar and tunes like this make me think so all the more - I know there's a bit of bass in there too - but you know what I mean. Gives me goosebumbs - stunning.

Came back for another listen to this, it's gorgeous (a bit like me ) can you post a bit about how you achieve the crystal clear recording and tone?

[Rockerbob]

Thanks Jomi! I don't know what to say. It was a quick recording. I used an AKG C414 with the bass roll-off engaged, about a foot or so out from the 12th fret but aimed at the bridge. There is some compression on the guitars and a bunch of reverb. That's about it. The Collings is a very bright/clear guitar.

Fantastic. Very powerful. It jumps right out of the speakers and grabs ya!

[Rockerbob]

Thanks, Fly!

Merry Christmas!
