... or should that be plectra I'm no good at that kind of English... to boldly go and all that. (If you are not a guitarist here is a health warning about this post, it may lead to you attempting to chew off a limb to retain conscious or keep your sanity...) My history of plectrum use is... Bloody huge triangular Gibson ones, heavy, I used to wear them out so they ended up pretty much circular in a matter of days/weeks. Odd at that time I had a Strat copy and used Gibson Strings and Gibson picks - I even went for Gibson strings with a wound third at one point after reading heavier strings gave a better tone... yes but you can't play the damn thing and could never get the intonation sorted out after an older mentor showed me what that nonsense was all about. For a long time there after I used Fender medium the hard once, often in tortoiseshell as I thought that classy for some bizarre reason. "Hello darling look at my tortoiseshell picks." I never had many girlfriends
Nice work. What hardware did you use?
ReplyDeleteI use a Boss BR600 to record I like it to be simple!! Drums are off that, I use a condenser Mic on vocals guitars are my good made Tele on the main fingerpicked bit my PRS CE22 on the fills and my Ibanez 5 string bass all straight into the BR600 using its processor. Mix down via Audacity. All very simple and basic really.
DeleteHow nice to hear your music finally! I guess I should go visit your Reverbnation site for more :).
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of Johnny Marr a bit. :)
