Great job.  This song was the bane of my existence for close to a year, but when ya play it for people they know you're disciplined. I use it as an audition piece. 

Ye, acoustic is best.

Very good playing of the tab here Lucky! I agree with Sergei insofar as that this would sound much better unamplified although your amped version still impresses. I hope that you go out and play this at your local jam as you would surely get a great audience response (plus I reckon you'd be able to get great dynamics playing acoustically through a vocal mic to the PA).

You're right. I never

You're right. I never attended a jam yet but I'm taking informations about some places near here to begin to go and play :) I never played through a pa mic. I tried to with a vocal mic into my amplifier and then into my computer like a do normally with the bullet mic but the level I get is very low when I play more than 3 inches off the michropnone. Perhaps I should buy a SM57, any suggestion would be precious here.

Thanks for listening

Thanks for listening Sergei.

I tried to hold the mic on a holder, the problem was to get enough volume playing a the right distance to be able to wha without touching the face of the mic. One day I will spend some time experimenting with acustic recording.

Great performance of this

Great performance of this really challenging song! You said you cupped your mic. But, as this is a song played unamplified, why not to fix the mic in a holder - it would make it easier to do these "wha wha's"... Anyway you did them very nice even with the cupped mic!
