This is my birch body, maple top Adams reso. AKG diaphragm condenser -> Firebox _> PC....no effects.

I'm playing one of my favorite hymns, 'In the Garden'.

This is part of my New Years Reso-lution to use recording to improve my playing and technique.

Enjoy! 8)

I"m not claiming this is a great track, but people do pay to hear me do this so I thought I might share. Playing dobro while singing is an incredible challenge. It's even more difficult if you're the 'driving' instrument for the song. Darn near impossible is more like it. I notice here that there are times when my vocal pitch is not exactly off, but kinda slurry as I'm listening for the dobro pitch as I intonate with the bar. I do have a guitarist here, so that helps tremendoulsly. Comments and constructive criticism is appreciated.

Adams Acoustic Slide guitar, Sapele top, Mahogany body.
