Carl guitar session – One Day
March 31st, 2011 § 2 Comments
Tracking guitars for Katherine Penfold‘s upcoming single, One Day. I like guitar overdubs, there’s usually a lot of room for experimentation, and I think it’s because I’m a keyboard player that I find it so fascinating. It’s not as static an instrument, or as precise, or as in-tune, haha. There’s a million guitars, amps, picks, pedals…….. ahem… cables. You name it. I’m not a guitar guy, but I’m sure Carl can elaborate regarding the session setup for us. We had Laura Gow assisting, and I’m determined to show her everything I know regarding music production (actually I don’t know much about anything else..).
You may not be aware, but the tortoise has had a bit of a rough ride throughout the last few hundred years. According to one of my favorite shows, QI, it didn’t even get a proper Latin name because they were, well, so delicious. And now Carl’s using picks made from the shell. Alas.
But this tune’s coming along, time to mix soon…
The signal chain for this is basically PRS McCarty (Lollar P-90′s) -> Swart AST. For the Wah parts I use a RMC Picture Wah, which I’ve used on all Kat’s tunes where you hear Wah. With the Tele I add a bit of compression and drive with a Durham Sexdrive Pedal.
