It took
one week to record the guitars and in two weeks the recordings were
finished.
Still I had time to reflect on my personal playing and singing.
Since the album is accoustic and thus all the sounds were "naked"
I really got confronted with what I was doing. Sometimes I really
was amazed hearing me play so bad.
So it even changed me into a different way of playing: more open,
subtle and more harpegio.
Also, since I'm playing no lead guitar, |
normally
I just lay out the groove and Eric just balances it out and flies
over it with a lead. On this record though, Eric couldn't be present
on two tracks, so I played the lead myself, which was a very interesting
experience.
Normally I have idea's and tell those to the one that translates
it to a guitar solo, but now I had to do it myself. It was hard,
but it worked.
So I'm very pleased with the result... but pleased in a humble way: It's a new start! |
