Title: My bands songs - BK's used :)
Post by: Brow on January 14, 2006, 04:29:25 PM

Hey guys.

I finally got my bands album finished and mixed, so thought I'd share some songs.

www.myspace.com/forthisdaymusic has 4 songs taken from our album, all of which have BK equipped guitars on them :)

For the whole album, the singer/guitarist used my Crawler/IT/IT loaded Strat into my Orange AD30 head and MESA 4x12, while I used the same guitar for 3 of the songs, but into a cranked 50w Marshall Plexi and the MESA 4x12.

I did use my Gibson LP (not got BKs in it YET) on 2 of the tracks, and also used my JCM800 on 'The Beginning'.

Just thought I'd share :)

Catchy tunes, Craig!  :)  It's a very raw mix. Hardly any studio production at all, it seems.

Hmm. Lots of open chords there.  But then, if your singer is playing the guitar, that's often what happens.   ;)

I'll be back to listen again later.

I try to not overly produce anything that i do, so I'll take that as a compliment :)

When the singer plays guitar, he capo's at different frets so that he can stick to playing open chords. So you are correct in your assumption :)
