Guitar Fun

I spent two hours recording guitars today. I got through so much that I can’t even remember it all.

I started by adding song idea #37. I threw it together on-mic, as it goes. I recorded it as I was writing the guitar parts. It’s super simple but it exists now when it didn’t before. Cool.

I then put rhythm guitars onto three more songs. There is a twist on one of them, I’ll share it in a bit.

I put lead guitars on a bunch of songs… I actually forget how many. Let me check my trello notes… five songs. I put leads onto five songs.

Add the five songs that got vocals this morning and it’s been a pretty cool day, music-wise.

How about some gratuitous guitar pics?

So what about that twist that I mentioned? Years ago my step son was taking guitar lessons. For his birthday I bought him a very inexpensive beginner/student guitar. Given that it was me doing the shopping, I of course bought him a Les Paul. Not a Gibson, but an Epiphone package deal that came with a tiny little solid state amp.

When he moved out we cleaned out his room and I saw the guitar sitting in his closet. He doesn’t play anymore. He’s a piano guy and a percussion guy. Guitar fell off of his musical map. I told him I wanted to play his guitar on my recording project thingie and he didn’t say no so…

One of the songs that got rhythm guitars was played on Harry’s Epiphone Les Paul Special II. Gratuitous photos, of course.

What’s left to do tonight? Hopefully more lyrics and melodies. Maybe a mix or two? We’ll see.
