A new song post

Post by Mr. Marty »




This is more about the guitar than the song..
Two tracks. The lead is athe D'Angelico EX-DC which is by far my favorite electric.
The rhythm track is the Cervantes Signature Rodriguez classical guitar.

Have a listen. It won't bite.

Oh I did manage to take lightning photos last night too. I can still see well enough to do that. All I need is lightning and last night was perfect. I was just a bit late getting out there and setup.

Thanks for time and ear.

Gorgeous tones from both guitars, Marty. The minimal reverb is so tasteful, it would be easy to drench it and have it hide any artist perceived flaws (that will be 99%missed by listeners), but this mix lets you really hear the instruments and the rub of fingers. Honest and a little vulnerable. The surprise chord change at roughly 3:25 was a pleasant surprise, boldly venturing out of safe territory before bringing it back home, only to shift to major for the final chord. Sweetness.

Very nice Marty, sounds beautiful. The recording quality is brilliant and the music itself sounds relaxing.
Did you improvise or did you write the notes down? And yes, a nice pic too.. :respect:

Thanks Ash. The photo is really simple to do. Just gotta be there and know how to do it. Lightning is quite simple. Open the shutter for a few seconds and hope the lightning goes off.

Thanks db. Yes, the reverb is purposely minimal. I really wanted the classical guitar tone to come through. The D'Angelico I've had for many years. Most of my electric guitar work is with it...that or the moded strat. I bought the Cervantes guitar late last year but have not recorded hardly at all with it. Things around here have been getting in the way.

Thanks Hekki. This is pretty much a sit down and play thing. No prep at all other than to get the mics setup. The progression is in the realm oif my noodling chord progressions. See March of the Fire Ants or some of the more played ramblings. Am Em Fmaj7.
