Default Recording a "Natural Tremelo" guitar sound

Has anyone ever tried this? Not that it is really an innovation but, I really like the way this technique sounds. I was laying on my bed facing up this past summer with the ceiling fan on and playing acoustic guitar. Pickin' away on some country/blues songs. I was recording it with my microcassette recorder. I played it back and it had one of the greatest 'vintage' natural tremelo sounds I think I may have ever heard. It's very obvious but a really cool technique I stumbled upon being lazy

Funny, I thought I invented this trick. I have recorded vocals thru a fan and they came out superfun. It reminded me of singing in the fan when I was a little kid. It recorded in a strange tremolo sound. It's all in the multispeed!
