Guitar stuff, of course! http://www.atmosmusic.com/wordpress/2010/04/whats-on-the-bench-this-week-in-the-studio-guitar-stuff-of-course/ http://www.atmosmusic.com/wordpress/2010/04/whats-on-the-bench-this-week-in-the-studio-guitar-stuff-of-course/#comments Thu, 08 Apr 2010 20:13:32 +0000 Rob Michael http://www.atmosmusic.com/wordpress/?p=722 Sexy huh?Here’s another quick preview peak into a project I’m wrapping-up. This an excerpt to a rough mix–just to show you what I’m up to.

“Reptile” is basically a funk tune. The instrumentation is a little different in so far as the rhythm guitar part is played on a steel-string acoustic guitar. The solo is my old work-hourse frankestein ’80′s-era Strat.

This track features my buds Joe Shotwell on drums and Jack Hines on bass.

This was a stellar group of musicians, many of whom played with Joe over the course of his long career.

These tunes were recorded in a 2007 session.

I recorded this piece as an experiment sometime around 2001. I played all of the parts on guitar. Good fun!
 
Originally composed for the organ, this piece goes well beyond the range of the guitar: I kept tuning lower and lower. I had to give in and use a bass for a few of the phrases.
