Like your opening hook and the way you expanded on it in the next choruses - good variety in melody lines

Nothing to be nervous about, the way you are playing - I've never use a USB mic to mic an amp but to these old ears, it almost sound shrill. I'm not sure what I would do; maybe turn down the gain on the computer (or mic if it has a gain control) or try the volume down a bit on the amp (3?)

Keep them coming, this is a great start!

Thanks Hank, yeah the

Thanks Hank, yeah the computer mic volume was all the way up. I'll try turn it down some and see what happens. I think I got to get or make a baffle or something for theUSB mic maybe move it further away. Gotta do some experimenting with it. Gonna try to get some more stuff recorded and up this weekend . If I can get wife to take kids some where :) thank you again for the feed back it's much appreciated .

I used a 1951 Gibson br6 , green bullet w/cm . Samson meteor USB mic. Had the volume on amp at 4. I had the USB mic about 9-10ft away from amp, first time recording with an amp so didn't know exactly were to place it or how far.
