Again I return, to let you all know a bit more about what I’ve been up to!
I’ve done all of the guitar!!!
(Just so you know, “Joe!” has also been filming some of my progress along the way, so you will also be able to see a video of the progress too! I’m not sure when he will have time to edit it though..)
Anyway..
I’ve done the intro guitar, some rhythm guitar and some extra guitar to beef up the piano on the verse, some distortion guitar picking with psychedelic delay on it and then some rhythm guitar with distortion for the chorus. Oh, and the ending bit of guitar, that fades out.
Luckily I didn’t have much trouble finding the tones that i wanted, so that sped things up a bit!
But then I was slowed down because I broke a string. And me being me, I had to change them all because the only replacement string I had was a 9 gauge, from a different pack of strings. The ones I had on were 10s.
That meant that all the parts that I record with the new strings are going to sound brighter than the parts that I had already done with the old ones and that the tone would also be thinner!
But fortunately all the bits I had already done were rhythm guitar, so they didn’t need to be that bright! And lucky for me, all I had left to do was the picking, and bright & thin is exactly what I want for cutting through the mix!
However, having new strings on meant that after every take I had to check the tuning. But it seemed to say in tune perfectly (that Gibson I won is amazing!).
I think the psychedelic delay, on the picked guitar, is going to end up causing a problem, when I start putting in more instruments because of the delay. Although, come to think of it, the delay is pitch shifted one or two octaves higher than the original pitch, so as long as I don’t have anything else going on up there then I should be alright. We’ll see..
I think that it is also going to need some organ on the chorus, to fill it out a bit. And I’m hearing some electric piano on the second part of the verse. Hmmmmm…..
Pero desafortunadamente todos los trozos que ya tenÃa era ritmos de guitarra, ¡asà que no necesitaban ser tan vivos! Y afortunadamente para mÃ, lo único que me quedaba por hacer era el punteo, ¡y lo vivo y fino es exactamente lo que quiero para cortar en la mezcla!
Aunque, si lo pensamos, el retraso está inclinado una o dos octavas más alto que el tono original, asà que mientras no tenga nada más que vaya ahà entonces deberÃa estar bien. Ya veremos…
