This song was just a test of a new recording technique / creative process (the Singular Sound Aeros Loop Studio pedal). It features my Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster played through a Fender Mustang 3 modelling amp. I was using one of my custom surf patches with a ’63 Fender spring reverb for that drenchy surf sound. Also featured is a Rickenbacker 4003 bass and a BeatBuddy supplying the drums.
This song went through a lot of changes during the creative process. There was a rhythm guitar track and a synth lead track that I just didn’t care for, so they were taken out and a slide guitar track took their place. There is still a synth track in it, however. I recorded a couple of drone A notes on a looper and let it play throughout the song. I had my Les Paul tuned to open A tuning for the slide work (that was so it would properly mesh with the drone loop).
