My brief cover of "Crystal Mountain"

Mastodon · 12-27-2006, 11:16 PM

I decided I was going to try to record something with my headset (the one I use for counter strike and other such games) and Audacity. I'm plugged into this dinky solid state fender amp that was made sometime in the early nineties.

This is the result. http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.ph...6F752808E8CFAE

My computer crapped out and Audacity kept lagging and crashing, so I didn't get the chance to finish it, or adjust any of the dynamics. My mom was also trying to get to sleep in the adjacent room, so I had to keep the volume pretty low.

I'm pretty sure I'm doing the tapping portion all wrong, so if someone could show me how to do that part properly it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm pretty sure I screwed up the tempo for the song too.

So, why even bother posting this you ask? Because even though it sounds like a turd sandwich, it makes me excited because this the first time I've ever gotten to hear my playing.

The guitar is seriously out of tune...

I can't play that type of file. MP3s are always good, though.

Working on a less crappy and in-tune version now.

Here's the first one as a mp3.
