Well, this is it. I’m back with the guitar according to the changes I promised few days ago. I know, I know, it’s not perfect, there some issues to be solved, and in time I’ll solve every single issue I have.

For start, I’m recording with the built in microphone of my laptop, this causes several issues with the recording (not sure you can hear it, but I can), the microphone is not bad, but it’s not meant for guitar (or lute) I hope to solve this one in the next few weeks by ordering cables for my old audio interface. Easy fix I hope, but costs money.

Second, and again, not sure you can hear it (but I can), I recorded in my bedroom, on my bed. At some point during the recording Miss Bella decided it’s going to be fun to jump on the bed. It moved me and the laptop, it’s a minor interruption. When I get the cables to my Scarlett, I promise not to record from bed again. Hope you understand.

Three, my guitar need some fret work, after 25 years she should get some love too. Unfortunately, this will have to wait for few more months. Work on the lutes going to be expensive and I can’t afford everything at the same time. So in the next few recordings you might hear some fret buzz now and then.

And for last, is the most important issue is my mental health. Although it’s getting much better with each passing month, there’s still a lot to go. It’s going to take some time to get used to record with guitar and lute, you can defiantly hear my stress in this recording (and the next several recordings), I hope the stress reduces, getting more confident and less side effects from my meds as I’m now getting lower dosages.

I want to thank you for your patient and belief.
