Guitar, Babie

So the rule for April is rhythm guitar is my SG with the boost side of the D&M Drive. Leads are the Les Paul through the drive side of the D&M Drive.

Tonight was the first Leads night of the month.

Musical Lessons

I learned two things while singing in the car this morning.

First, I am still a terrible singer.  If you were thinking I would have magically learned how to be awesome over the last two weeks then I’m sorry to disappoint you.  I still suck.

Second, I am still terrified of having people hear me.  Oh look at that guy walking his dog.  He’s two football fields away from me.  I better wait the 20 minutes for him to walk by because he might hear me.

“Studio”

I recorded the rhythm parts for one song this morning before work. Here’s a little behind the scenes glimpse into my April RPM recording “studio” which will henceforth be referred to as “The RPM Nook.”

I Lied

My plan from the moment I woke up this morning was to put in a solid day’s work, then have dinner with the family, then hang out with the family for a little while, then record guitars.

By the time I made it to dinner I was dead tired.  I thought the rest of the night was going to be a fail.

It wasn’t.

There are only two songs in progress right now but as of a few minutes ago they both have all of the rhythm guitars.  I planned on using my little Fuzz Face pedal for all of the guitars.  That lasted about 12 bars into the first take of the first song.  I guess I am not going to re-fall in love with the Fuzz Face.  Instead I broke out my Keeley D&M Drive.  That’ll be my one pedal for April.
