Three great acoustic tracks this month - impressive! Remember this was not only a acoustic recording challenge, but also had to have a open tuned guitar on at least one track.

Onto the entries!
Bluetone - Guitar Talk Acoustic Challenge
Hi guys. My first ever entry, here goes :
I record at home in my office/studio, which has zero acoustic treatment - that's a cost for another day. I sat on my squeaky swivel office chair, which was a risk for capturing acoustic guitar, but all came out OK for a quick-and-dirty recording.
I used DADGAD tuning to complement the main progression, with some acoustic lead overdubs and then some electric guitar to build. Egg shaker and jingle stick played by me, not programmed. Signal chain is an SM57, an NT1, DBX 586, Scarlett 2i2, Reaper.
All comments and criticism welcome!
Meticus - Elfentanz
Hello again, here's my entry...
It's called "Elfentanz". I actually composed it for the bagpipe, but it turned out to be suitable for guitar as well
The challenge was a good opportunity to practice playing with the pick, now that I have to learn it because I've bought my 1st e-guitar last year
Two tracks acoustic guitar, melody with pick, chords without. One track davul, one track bells and.....? Of course, some bagpipe sounds
Guidothepimmp - GTP's Acoustic Jam Challenge
Its a jam in open G. Was hoping to get a slide in there but couldnt get anything workable.. ie.. i need to learn to use a slide. Was played on a resonator.. and if anything, highlighted how much work i have to do to on acoustic guitar. Difficult but fun
