Tonight’s one proves once again that I have no sense of time. I came up with something on guitar, but then as happens so often with me – when I tried to record it, I couldn’t figure out what time it was in..
In the end it turned out to be a 7 bar phrase, with 3 bars of 3/4, 1 bar of 2/4 and another 3 bars of 3/4.
Of course.
Apart from that, this one sees me experiment with the guitar a little – I have tried to get as good an acoustic sound as possible, without an acoustic. I’ve done that by recording both the line out from the guitar, as well as sticking a microphone in front of it while I play. That gives me both the nice full sound, plus the struming sound that I always miss when I just record the guitar via the line out.
As a result, I think I’ve got a pretty passable semi-acoustic guitar sound.
I’m unhappy with the singing as always, but that’s to be expected.
I do rather like the intro – it puts me in mind rather strongly of Fleetwood Mac. Must be the electric piano.
I also do manage a relatively slow and measured guitar solo at the end. Still need to work on that though…
