acoustic guitars

one of the things i learned from my gig at Matchless the other night was that i needed an acoustic guitar, at least for venues that are intimate the way Matchless is.

so, i bought one a few days after the show, and i started playing around on it quite a bit. i recorded that new song i debuted at the gig as just an acoustic/vocal track, and i'm not even sure if i'll add anything to it.

now, i feel like i want to add acoustic guitar to many of the existing tracks to fill out the sound a bit, especially "long way off" and "bexar county". i also want to lay off the vocal effects a bit; the more i listen to my voice with the effects on it (the slap delay, the light distortion, the light reverb) the more it sounds a little insecure, like i'm trying to hide behind the effects. i might redo those vocals with a more high-and-dry effects mix as well.
