Hi folks,
it’s been while since I posted here. Lot’s of good contributions in this forum part. This is my latest song and I hope you will enjoy it.
Writing and recording a new song completely on your own is a different story than noodling a guitar solo to a backing track.
I always come to the point where I get a bit lost in my own cage. Luckily I had some support of a buddy (a singer) which came up with some tips for the vocals.
My eldest daughter said the song has an 80s Disco-Pop touch. I think she’s right. But not sure if this was meant as a compliment.
Anyhow: The 70s and 80s were the decades where I grew up as a musician. Music and sound of these decades are still ringing in my ears …
The title of the song throwed myself back into memories of good old times. I think it’s important to keep good memories alive …
The chorus part came up first. That was an easier birth. But the instrumentation and vocal part of the verse really caused some headache to me
For the verse I was looking for a breathing sound carpet where the instruments are easily intertwined. The second verse should have a variation on an increased level – challenging.
I always do my home recordings with my Marshall JVM410 head with a power attenuator (Rivera Rockcrusher). Best sounding amp at lower levels.
The prechorus fill-Ins and the Outro leadpart was recorded with my Warmoth H-S-H guitar with a mahogany body.
I guess I did approx. 20 takes for the Outro leadpart (I am not a fan of cutting too much in a longer guitar part). But I think I finally get it done. What do you think ?
The Suhr Doug Aldrich humbucker and the Kinman Single Coil pickups can easily go for High gain sounds with a good note separation. This Warmoth H-S-H is my main guitar for years. It covers a lot of tonal ground (the Suhr Doug Aldrich pups a great for coil splitting; I therefore get some nice strat-like sounds on pos. 2 + 4).
EZ Drummer 2 is a powerful and easy to use tool for me to translate my song ideas into rhythm. I still appreciate that package. It is an important part of my home recording environment.
Have fun while listening / watching:
