This is rough songwriting demo of something called "Sooner or Later" or possibly "Dream all Day" depending how much further I change the lyrics. It's a work in progress on my Boss Micro BR, just a guide vocal, three "sussing the arrangement" guitar parts, and (I hope) the completed drum arrangement.
The guitars are a bit messy and will be replaced during the course of the recording, but seeing as they're a very good example of what my MQs do in my Gibson Explorer, and I haven't processed them in any way to fit them in a mix, I'd thought I'd post this version now.
There's a main "rhythm" part down the middle. This was done on the bridge pickup with the volume and tone backed off a tad. This part is likely to feature less when there's bass and wotnot going on.
On the right there's a "jangle" guitar that was done with the neck pickup, it doubles some of the "lead" part in the chorus.
On the left there's a "lead" guitar done on the bridge pickup, volume and treble fully open.
All three guitars play all the way through - they probably won't in the finished article.
I was more after nailing the arrangement, so each part was a first take after a bit of rehearsal - you can hear the odd blooper. Eventually they'll be replaced by four or five different parts to achieve roughly the same effect. All of them were recorded using the same model on my VOX Tonelab - a JTM45 model running full blast through an AC30's 2x12 cab. There's a bit of reverb, nothing else. Pretty much my favourite model for all my guitars at the moment!
And as usual, I've totally fallen in love with the guitar and pickups while I was sorting this out :D
