It’s been long time since I’ve submitted anything so I decided today was a convenient day to do so. I spent some time today putting down some Christmas scratch practice tracks to send to the guys playing with me this Sunday morning. They’re not anything special and FAR from perfect but I figured since they’re public domain songs I would go ahead and post them here. Hope you enjoy…somewhat. If I don’t post again–Merry Christmas!
O Holy Night
O Come All Ye Faithful
So, here’s a rough cut of a song that’s been in my head for the past week and a half. It’s my response to the events that have happened over the past couple of weeks. This is a very simple song as you’ll quickly figure out. I’m relying heavily on its dynamics to bring the song to full fruition. I’m thinking about adding in some strings and some Rhodes. Leave a comment and let me know what you think and any suggestions you might have.
The other day, at the doorstep of the big snow storm, I ventured to guitar center to spend my birthday money. I’m very pleased with what I got. I bought two new pedals for my electric guitar, a Boss TU-2 Chromatic Tuner and a Visual Sound Jekyll & Hyde Ultimate Overdrive. I absolutely love the Boss! The best part is, is that it powers all the rest of my pedals. I no longer have a use a big bulky powerstrip on my undersized, home-made suitcase, pedal board.
I was a little leary of the Jekyll & Hyde but I took the salespersons advice and gave it a whirl on a pseudo set-up of my gear. I ended up liking it a lot. I went with the intention to get the Ibanez Tube Screamer. The cool part about the Jekyll & Hyde is that it has an overdrive side and a distortion side. The overdrive side is modeled after the Tube Screamer’s 70′s model (this is the one that everybody tries to get). All in all, I’m very happy with my purchase it has definitely added depth to my electric guitar and I no longer have to use the factory overdrive on my amp.
There hasn’t been a day that has gone by that I haven’t played the Telecaster (which is odd). I’ve really enjoyed it with my new pedals. Who knows maybe I’ll start playing it out a little more!
Ok, so here is a song I’ve been working on. It’s called You Are God. It’s a little pitchy in places and definitely far from perfect but I wanted to get your thoughts and feelings on it. Please leave constructive ideas and encouraging words!
