My Acoustic and Electric Guitar Work Improvised acoustic duet. Takamine small bodied guitar. Recorded with a Schoeps MK41 mic, Great River preamp. I wasn't thinking of this title when recording it, but afterward it seemed to fit. Short rock tune with several layers of lead and rhythm parts, some acoustic mixed in as well. Features Chris Dickson (N. Ireland) on vocal, Larry Banks (Detroit) on bass, and MadAudio (Wash DC) on Drums. Chris improvised the lyrics. I did all the guitar parts, which were recorded with a Naiant MSH-4 tube mic. Well known Beatles tune. Two nylon string guitars. Each part recorded with a Dean Markley "Artist" piezo transducer into a BlueTube preamp. I usually record with mic's but wanted to see what kind of tone I could get with a piezo transducer. The online community, homerecording.com, had a series of tongue-in-cheek competitions - called Rumbles - where a number of guitarists each recorded solos over a given backing track. The accompaniment to this one was provided by Arvo Palm-Leis. I improvised a guitar line over it, and added some rasgueado strumming in the background as well. Beyer M160 mic, GR preamp. An improvisation on two guitars based on Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. I had a couple inexpensive mic's I never used and decided to give them to a friend. Just as I was boxing them up I wanted to record something with them before they were gone. It's a Behringer ECM8000 omni mic, with a little of an MXL990 mixed in, through a Great River preamp. This is me singing with a group of 60 first and second graders. I added the electric guitar part after. Recorded on cassette tape, so it's low-fi. I always have a laugh when I listen to this one. Live performance by a Jr High classic rock band I coached. I'm backing them up on elec guitar. Doesn't sound like it, but the singer is 13. |
