Sounds to me like your setup is rather faithfully representing what I can imagine that thing would sound like if one were unfortunate enough to place one's ear about a foot in front of the soundhole.

Like they say, "Source, source, source!"

mud

Problems:
1st - fingers
2nd - instrument
3rd - room
4th - your setup

Hope it helps.

String up the guitar and tune it, or upgrade your instrument.
Try playing with finger picks.
The recording setup is probably fine, except for some background noise.

Ha...so, you have a guitar that doesn't sound good...micing it with an inappropriate mic...placed wrong...into $5 preamps...and you're wondering why the recording sounds poor?

Classic.

I like the song though, although the bridge confused me a little
