I spent the whole day in bed and missed tonight's rehearsal on account of a bug. I began feeling queasy yesterday, when I took the afternoon off from work and drove to Folschette to lay down my guitar parts. I think it went down okay, although I did struggle with the solo's. It was good to have Mel up in the control room to give some pointers. Couldn't use my Fuzz Factory 'cause it picked up radio interference, which was disappointing, but to my luck, Mel brought along his Little Big Muff (I think I might get one... :P). That's the only effect I had. It sounds really meaty and seems to cut nicely through the mix. I didn't feel my playing was stellar and didn't have a chance to hear it afterwards. Zsolt was already there to the basslines another shot and I was already unwell... I just remembered that I recorded some short video on my phone the first time we were there. I might put it up on you tube tomorrow, as I won't have much else to do. Anyway, I still can't see the end of our little sessions up there. Mark still has to do his keyboards and then come the vocals, mixing... It's going to cost us ;). [edit] I almost forgot to mention this: remember that I said Jacques' drumming on Sunday Driver was uneven? Well, it seemed to be gone once Mel put down his guitar. I can't trust my senses anymore :P.
On another note, I also finished off a song that I began recording sometime last year, using my little Fender Champ. It's a knock-off of 'Green Onions', I just love that riff to death. I now added drums and a Rhodes track (including a cheeky solo) to the two guitar tracks and bass that were already done. I'm really pleased with the overall sound of the result, it's really raunchy. Check it out:
I'm also working to finish some other stuff. Watch this space... Toodeloo!
