Did a version of this traditional. PS5 Drums 1 fingerpick guitar 1 bass line guitar 1 Strum/pick guitar All guitar parts are my Gretsch with no effects at all.. I wanted the vintage sound for this, and I decided the natural tone of the Gretsch was it.. Just a touch of reverb on mix-down... I think I'm starting to find a comfy vocal range.. time will tell Feedback welcome.. Lead part to be added someday.. Jeff

It has that late-night, weary at the bar kinda feel. Sounds like some minor tuning differences in the guitar, but that might help the feel of the song. I'd bring the drums up a bit. Wonder how this would sound with the drums on the 'brush' setting?
Vocals are much improved over your first recordings. Good fade as well.

Thanks Mike.. brushes do sound good with this, but I went with the drums to provide more of a march/dirge feel.. have to fix the out of tune parts *adds to the list of re-do's*

Yeah, with a built-in tuner, there's really no excuse. Of course, if the intonation is set up wrong, tuning won't help. Something I mentioned in a thread a few months ago, is when you slap a capo on, tune the guitar again. Capos sometimes slide the whole guitar up just a notch. Enough to really be annoying.

I've never actuallly heard a recording of this song, I found it in an old Blues Book by Happy Traum. This is what he says about it "Another well-known and widely sung blues, this one is unsual because it is sung in a minor key. It is a distant cousin of the old cowboy 'Streets of Laredo', and has been traced back to a very old Irish song called 'The Unfortunate Rake'. Despite the minor key and its rambliing history, it is very much part of the blues tradition" Happy Traum, The Blues Bag, copyright 1968
something clicked with my vocals when I did Knocking on Daddy's door, and I find it a little easier now.. still have long ways to go...
Thanks for the feedback guys..

Matt, Locked doors are just more of a challenge to the peristant 4 yr. old. If it locked, then it is even more important that I get in. I'll just pound the door down until someone opens it.....
