a few days ago i went to my brothers house to return the mics i borrowed from him. i sat down and picked up his acoustic guitar and said 'lemme play this new song i wrote...' he shouted NO! NO !NO! dont play it yet, lets just record it right now.' So he quickly got a mic level and i played the song. One mic on one track was my voice, guitar, and toe tapps. It's a bit sloppy but this video is the very first take, and after we recorded this, we added a few overdubs of jaw harp, 1-string viole, 2 more voices, harmonica, and triangle. He was then able to transfer the final mix to the video because the bed track is identicle to the original sound track. So what you see on the video is actually exactly what i played and sang on the very first take, with the additions in sync perfectly.
