I started this by making some backing tracks to practice a little flat picking. Then I stumbled across some great sounding mandolin loops so I massaged them and married them to some real tracks, wrote some lyrics and came up with this. I appreciate any and all comments, Tom RealTracks in style: ~~592:Bass, Acoustic Bluegrass Doc Ev 100 RealTracks in style: ~~589:Banjo, Bluegrass Doc Ev 100 (Rhythm) RealTracks in style: ~~593:Fiddle, Rhythm Bluegrass Doc Ev 100 RealTracks in style: ~~599:Mandolin, Rhythm Bluegrass Doc Ev 100 RealTracks in song: ~~591:Banjo, Bluegrass Doc Ev 100 (Soloist) RealTracks in song: ~~596:Fiddle, Soloist Bluegrass Doc Ev 100 Royalty Free Loops Recorded in Logic Pro X Plug Ins : Nectar 3, Neutron 4, Ozone 10, Tonal Balance, Waves LinMB, Waves, L3-LL Multi Limiter, Logic Pro Metering, Waves Vocal Rider Acoustic Guitar, Vocals, Tom Adams https://on.soundcloud.com/cLna7https://tommyadamsmusic.com/track/3576870/go-ahead-and-break-my-heart Go Ahead And Break My Heart I’ve got a real bad habit of falling in love Sneaks up on me and happens all the time I get all worked up just to be let down A stolen heart a victim of a crime I won’t hold you to it but you said you would do it You’d fall in love and then we’d fall apart So give it all you got give it your best shot Then Go ahead and break my heart I won’t hold you to it but you said you would do it You’d fall in love and then we’d fall apart So give it all you got give it your best shot Then Go ahead and break my heart I’ve made my mistakes I know what it takes to get up and try it one more time No I won’t give up I think I’m way too tough To walk away and leave it all behind I don’t give up on love I give it a chance I’m not afraid to fall once again If I don’t let myself go there’s one thing I know I’ll be left all alone in the end I won’t hold you to it but you said you would do it You’d fall in love and then we’d fall apart So give it all you got give it your best shot Then go ahead and break my heart

Tom, that was fantastic.
Your super flat picking and vocals were the highlights of the song IMHO.
Super mix.
I also loved it.

Permission granted. What a terrific song. Well written and masterfully produced. Great band, and I can see them standing on the stage just diggin' the feel. A fun mover, Tom. Just the right tempo and feel to be stomping on that blood-pumper.

Tom,
Killer mix. Again.
Love the write.
Nice flat picking. The sound you get recording that acoustic is astounding.
Top-Shelf. All the way.
Catchy Commercial Bluegrass. Not an easy nut to crack. I'd say you completely shattered it...

You've been hitting some really good ones here recently. I love the acoustic organic feel and what a great mix.

Hi Tom.
Stunning!
I love the bluegrass sound and the mix is as polished as anything I've ever heard.
Great songwriting. Great arranging. Fantastic performing.
Listening to this, I feel like I'm at a live performance of a favourite artist!
Brilliant stuff!

Tom,
That was a great idea you had about the mandolins!
You made a swinging song, so pleasant to listen to.
The vocals are so good, but they always are!
And that habit of yours (in the lyrics), well... not bad.
They may only cause headaches occasionally, but that is good for making beautiful songs!
Hans

That's pretty fab - the vocal, particularly in V1, sounds super authentic...I mean it does across the song but V1 seems to have some vintage sauce.
Cheers
