Thanks, it's really the sound I'm trying to get right at this stage; that ones a bit too acoustic on replaying it today. And my guitar tends to sound a little 'buzzy' acoustically which can be heard.
I am actually not very good at all! I have about 20 pieces I can play about the same level as that one, but although they all sound jazzy I',m not really improvising, just changing tempo and feel. I have had a teacher for a couple of months but will be stopping that as I am struggling to make it every week as he's miles away.
I'm seeing Martin Taylor and Tommy Emmanuel next week which should put my efforts into context!
Still I am quite enjoying messing around with the recording. I realise I could use a DAW and record straight onto the PC. I can use the Zoom as a USB interface so might give that a go. But I just like the idea of recording at a seconds notice in the room. I have heard some great recordings with the Zoom or similar - indeed, I have made some good concert recordings - but getting a solo guitar right is not as easy as I thought it would be!
I'll probably buy a boom stand for the Zoom and also I need to get my amp off the floor. I'm selling this amp on ebay and buying a specialised Jazz amp, which is much warmer sounding. I'll maybe record the same piece using that and see the difference.
Cheers
