I'll probably regret this but tried Thisoldmans method of setting the phone on the laptop..and it worked. So just a quickie demo. The a/c, dehumidifier and tv were all on while doing this.

ancient1,

Well done, that was pretty dam good, I was just getting into the swing of the song and it ended, but that performance was a lot more polished, I've got a feeling that you put quite a few hours work in to get it to that standard, well done again.

Man! That worked really darn well. That's two of you who've done that, probably with completely different phones, and both worked great.

I just gotta get off my butt and try this.

BTW, finger style is not really my main thing, but it seems to be the trend here lately for all recent member played vids, so I'll stick to the trend and try and finger style song or two.

I'm working on trying this. I have no idea what I'll play other than finger picking stuff I made up. Most of the time I just string different bits together. And find some way to get the phone in a good position.

TonyKgull , just do what you do bud- finger or picking- it's all good!

ancient1 , I'm curious about playing with the wrong hand

Its a cheap focusrite mic plugged into a focusrite interface. Thats plugged into the laptop which is set on Audacity recording app to use the monitors and being able to see the volume levels of the mic and guitar. Usually use that set up for recording

Thanks Derrick, it was actually spur of the moment. Recently had all the recording equipment disconnected and stashed around the room. Decided to hook it all back up just to test an old soundhole pickup. Unable to use the Taylor es2 system as its way too sensitive. Anyway, tried it and it seemed to deaden the strings and it was in my way. Just as I was starting to shut it all down decided to try the phone trick. Turned on the lamp, hit record video on the phone and there it was, 1st take and it worked. I was surprised at how simple it was and how well it worked for an unstaged, unrehearsed event. Now that I know it works may try the mahogany. Might even pull the gretsch out. Its been 5 months since it has even been out of the case.
