I think what we did was double track with 2 different acoustics.
I did one track strumming on my 2012 Martin D-1GT, and a second finger style track on my 70's Lyle;
which is an off-shore laminate copy of a Gibson Hummingbird. I don't think we tracked any bass;
the guy who recorded me is an awesome bassist; but we were keeping things really basic.
Nobody else... just little old me.
Thanks for the listen, and asking.
It was the same day & session we tracked "Taxi Wonderland"... and he did play a bass part to this:

Peter,
Ha, ha.
I love the line...
'I went online and I'm trying to find'
It's a simple couplet, but it works well.
FYI, this is a good sounding demo.

It's not a new trick, by any means... but it was during my first attempt at recording acoustic guitar songs with a friend with ProTools, that I learned to record several separate guitar tracks, vary the voicings, and then stir & blend to taste.
Also, not news, or a new trick: is mic placement and a good room sound; the first more important than the 2nd in some respects.
I do not yet have my own home-based capture gear to try these things on my own; but I hope to be able to afford and equip my room here to do just that. Then we'll see if I actually learned from the guys who have helped me in the past.
FWIW: I spent many, many years mixing (okay, just turning knobs) at an analog board... without reverb, only a digital delay... helping our church band and visiting artists' bands to sound good in our venue. I discovered I had ears. And experimentation (free) with house gear was sort of like 'on-the-job-training'. Funny thing is, I didn't want to do it...
I wanted to be "in the band"...playing the music... drums or guitar. But listening back to the recordings of sets from good musicians, I realized that the soundbooth "calling" was a necessity;
too much talent and work was being wasted because what the audience was hearing was either a bowl of mush... or, parts were being omitted, or overbearing.
Little did I know how that 'job' that I reluctantly took on would help my own stuff later down the road. I learned to "hear" music somewhat like a producer does... all the nuances of the different instruments really make or break a recording or live performance. I'm still no studio pro, but I like to sit in the sound room while musicians are making the magic. Taking an idea and helping, or watching it develop can be an exciting adventure. Okay... now I'm preaching to the choir!!
Lastly... one of my highlights from that 'job' was getting to "mix", such as it was, when Phil Keaggy came and did his solo gig... with all his gear.
One of the finest guitarists on the planet, not to mention what a funny and lovable human being.
The Taxi forum rocks...
Cheers.
Peter
