On Valentine's Day last month, which coincidentally was the date of the last VOM1T, I recorded this song for my wife. I had submitted another song for the VOM that day, but I added this one to the thread later on. I made a one-take video, but completely screwed up the ending, so later I went back and did some overdubs with my Les Paul. I added a lead and replaced the ending. This doesn't count as a one-take because of the overdubs, and it's an acoustic/electric hybrid, but it's what I have for this month. I'm away from home this week and can't record anything else. The original recording was done with my HD-35. I used the AKG Perception 220 on the vocal. The HD-35 was DI from the DTar pickup. I mic'ed the Les Paul with an SM57 in front of a Fender Deluxe. It was mixed in Logic Express.
So here's my cover of 'Wonderful Tonight' by Eric Clapton that I recorded on Valentine's Day for my wife, and then fixed later in the mix.
This is a video I made for my wife for Valentine's Day.
It features the song, Wonderful Tonight, by Eric Clapton with a collection of pictures from our life together.
I recorded the song using my 12-string for the main rhythm and then 2 tracks with my 6-string. One is an arpeggio-style accompanying rhythm and the other is a track of the familiar lead heard in the original, though not entirely like the original.
I recorded the first version of this song over a month ago and posted it on AGF for some feedback on the recording. It consisted of just the 12-string rhythm the vocals and the lead tracks. Since then I added the extra rhythm (per Kwak's suggestion) and re-recorded the lead. Later I played with the sound, finding the perfect reverb (I think) for the vocals.
All the guitars are recorded using the JJB pickups, of course.
