Rough open F# blues song inspired by Bob Dylan's In My Time of Dyin'

[wasteofo2]

I just recently got Bob Dylan's first album, and the song "In My Time of Dyin'" Just floored me, I tuned to open D, capoed the fourth fret and tried to figure it out with no luck. However, I came up with this song I really like in the process. Most of it's just improv, except a few parts you'll hear repeated throughout the song. I realize it's really sloppy etc, it was just an improv, but please, critique it all you want.

some nice close chords in that man

what did you record it with?

i think a little bit of compression would have brought the high melodies out more because they are a little bit droned out by the bass

it seemed to speed up in one part but cool stuff man!

Thanks alot for the complements.

I just positioned my SM-57 a bit below the middle of my sound-hole and played straight into Cool Edit Pro, didn't use any effects or anything. I'm not even sure if Cool Edit has a compression effect, I'm gonna go look and see how it sounds (if there is one).

About the speeding up, I know what you're talking about, I wasn't using a metronome or anything, it appears my soul has poor rhythm. :smack:
