Author Topic: Mothers Milk and Apache - Warning BAD PLAYING (Read 11884 times)

I was mucking around - with my strat trying to record things - as you will hear I am not good - BUT - despite the cr*ppy playing I think the sound of the pickups comes through well (I have only been playing electric for about a year).

Gear: Squier JV 62 Strat, No amp - but through a Digitech Bad Monkey's DI channel - rhythm is with the BM with all knobs at 12, lead is on the Texas Lead setting. Recorded onto a Iriver MP3 player and mixed on the Mixcraft freebee mixer.

As I said - I cannot play for toffee - this is just for the sound of the pups :D

The 12 bar rhythm background is a Mothers Milk neck
The first 'lead' (a'hm) sound is a rwrp Mothers Milk in the middle and an alnico 3 Apache in the bridge in position 4.

After the bell sound I switched to just the Apache.

Sorry for the bad playing but it gets the sound of the pups over ...

The bell does it for me-well done, good effort.

Sounds like a strat should to me!

Nice one

Nice smooth tone, considering it was straight into the PC, thru the Bad Monkey.

Nice playing too.

Andy!

The blues is in there allright! Only needs a 'YEAH!' in there somewhere. :)

Good playing, you kept solid timing, watch the 2 bends at the begining, the licks were real bluesy though, nice one.

Good sound out the pick ups to, crank your amp and they'l come into a world of their own.
