pluck a week 2

Well, okay, a fortnight in this case. But we've been busy over here.
If you're stumbling over from lamebook, endure some redundancy...
I call this plucked piece: "A Distinct Lack of Ultraviolet Rays in Soid's Absence"
It's loosely (as in, entirely) based on Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine".

 

I get some help from the Boss RC-20XL Loop Station in case you had the raised brow, thinking, "The last time I saw slobscot, he had only two hands...and one of them was holding a burrito..."
Yeah, I only played one part at a time. The pedal lets me tap my foot to begin recording a phrase, play it, tap my foot again to start looping the recorded phrase, and repeat for additional parts.
Hellz yeahz bitches!

pluck a week

New amp (Vox AC15C1) and guitar (Gibson ES339).
The DeVille and (one of) the LP is now in the Groveland music room.

*La Muñeca loves it when I buy new music gear.



I'm trying to record something every week, just to force myself to play and be accountable for playing something new (even if only to you). So, much will be improvised, single takes, and inclusive of mistakes (see 0:40 in video). We might try some different mics up in here too instead of the iDevice built-in mics. Get excited.

*That could be sarcasm or not...she doesn't mind. She knows I love it and she loves it when I'm happy. The issue is space since the "studio" is also the bedroom. In this instance I dropped from a 4x10" amp to a 1x12" amp, but I did pick up an amp stand, taking up a bit more real estate. One added guitar, and one moved guitar, so I guess it's a wash space-wise this time around...
