Description:
Alright, the wife and kid finally hit the hay so here I play. This is as simple as it gets. I jammed out a rhythm track to the metronome, found the first drum loop that matched then re-recorded the rhythm track to that loop.

I then went out to the workshop for a smoke with the music in my head. I hummed it while I was out there and the general gist of the melody was then caught with two lead guitar passes. I'm very happy with how well they blended.

If I have the energy tonight I'm going to go through both lead tracks, replace the sloppy stuff and upload a cleaner version. But I have to say, I'm lovin' it as it is.

It still amazes me that I can plug a guitar straight into a computer and make this collection of sounds!

Hardware:
Straight in Strat

Software:
GB

Glad you liked it Kenta. This one just poured out.

Did you get the song files I sent via pando?

It's a nice headphone blend... &mdash 11/18/06 - 08:38:14 AM
...and it's too short...

Your playing is really nice on this, Pete, and I like the sounds you're getting. I'm not always a fan of the sounds folks get from plugging straight into GB, but you seem to have an ear for getting an amp-like tone.

Is this snippet going to grow into a song?

GB Tone &mdash 11/20/06 - 09:21:59 AM
The GB tone sure gets a bad rap. Granted, a lot of the defaults are fairly bland, but for a lead tone, the Glam setting is amazing for being strictly a software effect.

I haven't really found a satisfying rhythm tone yet and the clean settings are atrocious (for plugging straight in with an electric anyway) but hopefully that will change for me soon when I get my new preamp operational. Just got my ART in the mail, yay!

Look out world, I may have vocals coming your way sometime soon. Might be scary, but I'm not a proud man!

Guitar tone &mdash 11/21/06 - 01:11:35 PM
Perhaps it's because I'm not a guitarist, but quite frankly I've been impressed with the tone people are getting plugging straight into GB around here. Nice work Pete!

Tone &mdash 11/27/06 - 03:19:54 PM
Well, I am a guitarist (aspiring anyway) and I think the tone on some of the GB settings are incredible.

Thanks for the listen!

Nice flow to this one. I'd like to hear you put some of these pieces together into a longer song, with a verse, chorus etc. That's your next mission, should you choose to accept it. This post will self destruct...
