Been fun though so I may come back to it one day for the final spit and polish.
It's a perfectly straight cover of Master of Puppets
if it was in Les Miserables
Probably then only time I'll ever use a bassoon in a track, never mind a BBC sound archive clip of "Women's darts match in a Cockney pub" for the ambience!
I may submit 2 yet - we'll see. I have another coupe of weeks right?
(that's what she said)
"You don't know what you've got till the whole thing's gone. The days are dark and the road is long."
Will try and squeeze in my last bits today/tomorrow to avoid a rush in the last few days
Had a cursory listen to the playlist as it is (don't like listening much before I've submitted something as i use it as motivation) and some excellently varied efforts as always.
Massive fan of the Strokes and a lot of music around that time. Also it helps that it is, let's face it, quite simple music with lots of power chords and barre chords in quaver rhythms. My timing in general is pretty poor though so I did have to concentrate a lot. I imagine playing those patterns with a pick is easier but I just stuck with my usual finger picking.
Guitar is my Mustang, which was customised by the indomitable funkfingers of this parish to have lace sensors and some unusual pickup combinations. It has a nice neck, or rather a neck that suits me and it's a small guitar in general so easy to move about on it.
Straight through Helix Native, the rhythm parts are the same settings (tubescreamer into Deluxe reverb) just different pickups for the lead and rhythm sounds, then the solo is I think the Pocket Fuzz into a Marshall 2204 with some slapback.
Vocals are through a Tweed deluxe blended with a clean path, mic is my usual trusty Marantz condenser compressed and limiter-red quite a lot i think. Only other plugin on there is the CLA Mixdown which I like to use as it's simple and tends to make it sound more stuck together as a mix.
Drums are Groove Agent and the bass is Kontakt Scarbee bass, both were very mind numbingly dull to input but at least I could copy and paste a lot
I used my whammy bar instead of a slide, so I've called it Marwhammy Blues.
Apparently, after John Fogerty had managed to find his way out of Lodi (of the song fame), he then got stranded in a neighbouring village for a while, and wrote this song in a similar style ...
(Not many people know that).
