Bill,

Thanks for the comments and I am very happy that my vocals are not hard on the ears. If, and when, I try this one more time I will definitely slow it down a bit and use a click track.

I do use a thumb pick (but not finger picks). I record the guitar with a small diaphragm mic (MXL 991) about 10 inches from the guitar and aimed at the 13th fret. I am very happy with the quality of this fairly inexpensive mic. I tweak the sound a little in the software with a little reverb and compression and that's about it.
