Hi team.
This is the alt-country/pop'n'roll band I play for. Just in the throes of recording a live EP. Just got the latest mixes back and thought I'd share this one out. Still a work in progress, but feedback welcomed.
I'm playing lead guitar mostly - my rig is Fender Cyclone > Boss ME50 > Mini Recifier > Mesa 2x12. The singer was playing a Fender Strat > Hotcake > Blues DeVille.
Enjoy!
Reuben

I like it! Only listened on laptop speakers but will have another listen when I get in to the studio this morning. I like the organ playing more when it's more choppy/percussive- it sounds a bit busy in some of the breaks. That'd be my only criticism though.

It's got a 1970 Californian Stoner Hippy Jam feel to it. Very retro; Like!
Also like the tone of the organ; very Steppenwolf.

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Re: High Horses - Surf Song
Thanks man, keys player is quite busy a lot of the time. There was a big focus in this song of him trying to get more 'lead' space and cut through. He's actually toned it down a bit live, which works.benderissimo wrote:I like it! Only listened on laptop speakers but will have another listen when I get in to the studio this morning.

Re: High Horses - Surf Song
Kinda cracks me up that the first part is pretty much inspired by your comment; it was originally written as a Beach Boys style song, but evolved a littler later into the 70's.slowfingers wrote:It's got a 1970 Californian Stoner Hippy Jam feel to it. Very retro; Like!

The last part with the slowdown is pretty much a homage to Sabbath's "Lonely Is The Word".... RIP Dio!

Re: High Horses - Surf Song
Indeed! Definitley not the Recto sound. Had it set in Vintage mode with gain about 1/3 and a clean booster, delay and an octave up on the lead.Rhettsauce wrote:Sounds good man, can't believe that's a Mini Rectifier!
