Worst count in ever?
The dobro is doing good - I upgraded the speaker cone and
"spider-bridge" from the Chinese stock one to an American made one and
the sound is night and day. I'm considering getting a hand-made solid
wood one but there aren't really any in Japan. I'm convinced that the
thinness / quality of the cone is what really creates the sound.
I'm further exploring the 4 voices, and its pretty fun. Its tough, but
singing and picking the dobro is getting easier. Guitar is quite a
luxury. I'm discovering more and more how delicate my intonation is - any kind of stress or distraction and I go flat right away. Its really a mysterious thing.
I'm a pretty big Guster fan and am mystified why they aren't more popular!
If I look like I have a fatigued look on my face its because recording is super fatiguing. I've yet to make a recording where I didn't want to give up half way thru...
