This was a test to see how the camcorder would do overall.  The mic actually sounds good except I'll need to use my little foam screen if I use the camcorder mic again.  Didn't have an audio input with me or it would've been awesome!  Probably not so much wind to contend with, lol.

Going to try and subtitle the sections that the wind was muffling.  Sound will be better next time.  This was more experimental than anything else.  As always, enjoy!

P.S. I've been using Dunlop Tortex 1.14mm picks a lot more lately mostly due to their longer point and the lighter gauge makes it easier when I'm picking a flurry of notes.  For overall tone, though, I still love D'Andrea Pro Plec Standard 1.5mm picks: http://bit.ly/oNASlC
