Little story behind this track...

We all come up with riffs that sometimes just feel right. This one I came up with probably three years ago and it just planted itself in my head.

Then, after I started my group (Tripleshift) we rolled this out with lyrics and it was pretty well received.

I decided to record this version myself with just two guitar tracks which is what you have here.

Interesting note... I recorded this with a homemade microphone. I bought a $3.79 electret microphone element from Radio Shack, wired it to a mono 1/4" jack and encased it with a small tube. The whole thing then was placed inside my acoustic. I was blown away at the result.

Also, this was recorded through a Line 6 Toneport UX1 into Garageband.

Very impressive! I can't believe you got that sound from a homemade microphone! I am blown away! Great musicianship and tune by the way!

What type of tube did you encase the mic in?

How about some more info on this mic? Pics? It really does sound good. I'm impressed.
