No Simple Task

Cobaltblooz

My younger brother is a singer songwriter multi/instrumentalist, asked me to lay down some solos at a recording studio yesterday. The lead in the middle is the baritone setting on the VG Strat, he wanted it simple and to follow the main melody. The outro solo is a duel rectofier with the strat's middle pick up (recorded \"cold\", first take...I didn't know I was doing an outro solo)...he told me right before-\"think Dire Straits\", only more raw\"

This isn't mixed & mastered yet, so it's a little \"stark\"

That was a nice! & the music was up beat ( in contrast to the lyrics imo ). The tempo and your solo's really kept me in the song! Put together nicely, ....... thought you all did a good job laying everything down, sounded real good for not being mixed down.

Thumbs up! 8)

Great stuff guys. Thats a dead on \"Elvis costello\" kinda sound to me.

I really liked this. The keyboard to me helped to hold this song together.
At times it almost sounded like a voice in the background.
It made me listen twice.
Good Job by all.

Why thank you all....you are all gentlemen & scholars.

Yes, I hear Elvis Costello in there too, and a little Counting Crows & Dire Straits....not my usual cup of tea, but what the heck...

Not mixed yet, and thats out of my hands so I'll just wait...I asked the baritone to be bought up, and drenched in \"long spring reverb\" 8)

I'd love to be the one mixing this down. It's a great tune and the potentail is obvious. I hope you post a mixed version in the near future.

Great work! I Think she'll take you up on it and save you!
That was an awsome solo too. Great vocals. Great all around.

There's no saving me at this point!
