That sounds like a winner to me. The balance sounds good to me.

Thanks, everybody.  I like the tone of this guitar, as an electric.  I turn the tone knob down to about 3 or 4 to get a "growlier" response from it.  It is quite metallic-sounding, acoustically (imagine that!), and it can really scream if you dime the tone knob while playing through the amp.  But, it's a bit too screechy for my tastes, at that setting.

Great tone and what a cool amp too!

Good lyrics, Jon, long enough to tell the story ~  and some times, all too true.  

 

Got a motto for us:  "Three strings, three chords and the truth."   Hmmm.   Three beers?   Three ?

Good one!  Nice crunchy tone.

Thanks, Uncle John.  There aren't a whole lot of words to this song.  But, here they are:

 

CHORUS:

I'm the born loser, Lord I just can't win

I'm the born loser, Lord I just can't win

Try so hard, I tell you it's a sin

 

VERSE ONE:

I get up, I get knocked down again

I get up, I get knocked down again

I try so hard, I tell you it's a sin

 

VERSE TWO:

 

Think I'll get drunk, I'll drink a glass of gin

Think I'll get drunk, I'll drink a glass of gin

The bottle is empty, Lord I just can't win

One thing I am really working on is balancing vocals and instrumental, where everything comes through.  I was hoping that amping the vocals would help...

Got that tin going strong, Jon.   I had a bit of trouble getting all the lyrics, but what I did sounded good.
