Four Fifty


This was kind of a bonus song. I had just finished recording another song, but was still feeling creative. So I muted all the other tracks and recorded this. I’m playing a 2012 Martin DC Aura, recording with both a mic and direct (mic is on right channel, direct is on left). It was recorded with a click track so I could go back and add a drum track with a BeatBuddy pedal. The last thing I added was the bass track using my 2011 Rickenbacker 4003.

Chimes of Saint Lester

This is a song I was struggling to finish. I had a good acoustic rhythm track and drum track, but couldn’t come up with a lead track that I liked. I tried using my Martin and Fender Strat. I finally went with the Les Paul. The Les Paul is extra chimey in this recording, which is where I got the idea for the title.
