Title: Acoustic Guitar has such a beautiful sound. Acoustic > Electric
Post by: omg_lemurs on April 04, 2007, 09:13:31 PM: Listen to Radio City and parts of Number 1 Record by Big Star/Alex Chilton for further proof.

Case in point.

*nods* I agree. I've dabbled a bit with multitracks but I seem to perform better with an electric. I don't know, I've never been able to find quality strings for my acoustic–I know they're out there but I'm lazy.

Post by: omg_lemurs on April 04, 2007, 10:17:08 PM: I swear. Chris Bell and Alex Chilton were like a more earthy Lennon/McCartney. Maybe not as much of a lyrical powerhouse but Jesus Christ if they didn't record an absolutely perfect beautiful album together. Then Chilton on his own doing the next two Big Star albums, which progress from fucking awesome to haunting and sad.

Slide guitar dripping in reverb and in a distant sort of flange is beautiful when mixed with multitracked acoustic guitar.

Here's an example of multitracked acoustic goodness:

Chris Bell solo song featuring Alex Chilton doing vocal harmonies.

Why?

Maybe it's just me, but downloading is a hassle. You could just upload the song there and then post the link so that we can listen to it from the site.

Really? ???

I guess it only works when you use the embed link. Ah well. EB doesn't allow embedding besides youtube I think.
