Synth Du Jour

This song started as yet another song idea I had from several years ago. I had recorded some guitar chords into my Digitech Trio+pedal and had it create backing drums and bass. Then it stayed in that pedal for quite some time before I decided to use it as a backing track for testing my latest musical gizmo – a Moog Mavis analog synth. I liked what I heard, so I made this demo recording. I’ll probably go back and add my own bass track at some point. Note: this version now has me playing bass on my Rickenbacker 4003 bass.

Mallet Meltdown

Kind of an experimental piece featuring a tremolo’d Les Paul tuned to DADGAD on rhythm and an over-driven Stratocaster on lead. Bass is a Rickenbacker 4003 tuned to Drop D. Mallets by BeatBuddy.
