    Sorry to hear about your mother.. good for you in completing this goal though!
    Thanks. She passed away when I was 23 and I was still living at home. This song has really helped me cope a lot. I'll post it for anyone who wants to listen to it once it's completed and mixed.

    I'm sad to hear that, but i think it's awesome that you are recording something that is obviously very special to you. I think as musicians, the ultimate quest is to become one with our guitars so we can express musically whatever we are feeling inside. I love that i can express myself in many ways that i couldn't with just the words.

    Wishing you much good luck with the recording.

    I just finished recording at 8:30 tonight. I got there at 8:00 in the morning. That's a 12.5 hour day. It was awesome. Worth every minute and TAKE. This is my first time recording and it's A LOT different than playing live. You have to be perfect and in time and play every note crisp or you keep doing it over and over until you get it. Sometime tomorrow or on the weekend the Engineer is going to edit it and mix it so hopefully I will have the final product by this weekend sometime. I will post it here for any one interested. I want everybody to be totally honest about the song. Everything about it......the lyrics, the melody, the structure basically if you like the song or not. I want honest critisism because I want to keep getting better and better. I have only been playing for just over 2 years so I won't take offence.

    Thanks for everyone's advice and support. Everybody here has taught me a lot.

    Just play! Some best recordings were recorded spontaneously!
    If you over think about it, you'll end up messing the song!

    Congratulations on getting your first song down. I regularly work in studio environments and it can be very intimidating at first. As you said, you need to make sure your playing is spot on because even small imperfections will tend to stick out on tape.

    Looking forward to hearing the song.
