___________________________________________Lots of layers of multi-tracked acoustic guitar, and one of my most "alternate" set ups thus far.
Not much production. Just a little reverb and EQ. Had to roll off some of the bottom end because of my sloppy microphone placement, but it came out just fine. A little limiting and a touch of stereo expander just to bump it all out to the edges a little more.
The tuning is a dropped D and I capoed only the top 4 strings. I have no idea what the chords are, but I just worked it out until it sounded right. I love the harmonics on this...the capo treatment really opens it up.
This was originally titled Apple Valley Rain, just as a working title. But Cretia listened to it and said it made her think of Emma splashing around in a mud puddle. So we renamed it Mud Puddles.
I like it. :)
