Martin DC Aura – unplugged this time. I used a pair of Behringer condenser mics more or less pointed at the sound hole. The lead track has some reverse delay added using an EHX Oceans 12 reverb pedal in an ad hoc effects loop on the TASCAM Model 12 mixer. Both tracks also had some Hall2 reverb supplied by the mixer.
This song is based on an acoustic demo I recorded in 2017 called, “Extra Light.” That video got a good number of views (for one of my songs), so I figured there might be something to it. I had to re-learn it, of course, since I had totally forgotten what weird DADGAD chords I came up with for it. I added a BeatBuddy drum track to this version and came up with a bass part, as well.
I still may not be done with this song…I’m thinking of adding an electric lead or at least some flourishes using my Strat. We’ll just have to see how it sounds. ©2020 Solid Body Publishing / ascap SolidBodyPublishing.com JREMUSIC.com
