April Fool's Day Part 2
Rehearsed some funk/blues guitar earlier this evening (actually March 9th, but it's after midnight, now) to play around with some ideas and to warm up my hands before recording. Was going for that Jimmie Nolen/Catfish Collins/Prince "chicken grease"* sound, kinda. That I don't play a fraction as well as any of those guys isn't much concern to me, so much as I get a rhythm appropriate to the track.
I recorded two guitar tracks with my Peavey Vortex 1 plugged in directly to the Lambda USB box. Any effects would be added later. The second track was to replace the first, but certain elements were played differently, and I think they'd go well together, panned apart (and edited where necessary). I considered overlaying one more track over the bridge, but I'll hold off on that right now. From the sound of things, it may not even be necessary.
I'm giving myself a deadline of March 21st, to finish this recording and then drop it on MySpace. Should be plenty of time.
*Also called "chicken scratch".
