Beautiful Girls

Added a new track to the playlist. I'll admit that this was a second take. But otherwise no cheating. It's really hard to pull of 100% perfect takes. Hell, 50% would be good. So current system is a Frankenbradocaster > Boss Katana 50 Mk I > USB > FX Floorboard / Reaper (on Jacob's laptop that I've commandeered). Learning how to do EQ and post effects like reverb and such. Sound is still improving.

So This is Love ?

Same deal as before - first take / one take, no overdubs, no edits. And once again there are some times where I forget what's going on but all in all pretty happy.

Sounds OK

Guitar sounds pretty good. I have been obsessed with Romeo Delight from Women and Children First for a few weeks now. Eddie threw in some cool techniques like tapped harmonics and volume swells not to mention tasteful use of the MXR phaser for the swirly effects. Here's my single take with me playing over a guitarless backing track, no overdubs, no edits, going direct from my amp into a laptop. I lose the thread a couple times but overall pretty happy with it. Since it's direct input, there's no way (I think..?) to get feedback so the solo parts feel kinda thin and weird. Will need to figure out how to get a more meaty tone on the single note parts but pretty happy overall ! *EDIT - moved from SoundCloud to the playlist widget.....
