Need my guitars so bad

[steevc]

I wanted to record a song for @radioliquorice at the weekend, so I pulled up Ardour and plugged in my guitars via my Zoom G3X. I played Need Your Love So Bad by Fleetwood Mac at our last open mic and wanted to do a full version with a solo.

I did the rhythm part with my Benford custom Telecaster and the lead with my Gordon Smith GS2. On the latter I was having some issues with the signal to the computer, but I think it was just a dodgy connection. I used the Soul Food boost at the end. Next I did the vocal with my MXL 990 condenser and added a little reverb. Finally I recorded some drums with the Yamaha DD-65 kit. This was all done in a bit of a rush, so I could probably have done some better drumming, but this is just for fun.

You can hear the full radio show here, but my track is below. I also sent in a couple of old pub performances that I had recorded years ago.

I will count this as a Monday #DrumDay and an early #TeleTuesday.

Rock on!

Nice job! I can see how important it is to have your timing right no all of your different tracks. It could get messy if you were off a little. You did really great though. I hope playing it was as fun as listening to it.

[steevc]

Cheers. Music is all about timing. Getting that right can be more important than hitting the right notes.

It sounded great on the radio the other night.. 🙂
Is the Gordon Smith the one on the left that got an outing at Harpreet's the other day?
I like the shape and size of it, doesn't look too overwhelming for us little people.. lol

Just another manic drumday! Enjoyed both this impressive number and the two nostalgia tracks.

[steevc]

Those old recordings stir some memories. I can hear Glenn on one.

[ds-tech]

You killed it. This sounds great, and I honestly don't even know the song.
I really dig the Gordon Smith.

[steevc]

Cheers. I've had that guitar for a long time and wouldn't sell it.

Cool, i'm looking to get a new electric guitar, probably a squire tele/ strat. I've noticed fender are now producing pedals, they are expensive though.

[steevc]

Lots of good value guitars out there. Probably some bargains as people who took it up over lockdown give up.
