This original song taken from Davy Knowles' album Coming Up For Air is one of my favourite songs of his, and instead of playing guitar over the top of him I decided to make myself a backing track. Using GarageBand, I took one of the built in drum loops, played in a bass guitar part using the keyboard of my MacBook, then recorded both rhythm and lead guitar parts straight into the computer with an interface. I used my Mexican Fender Strat with the tone rolled off a bit to try and make it sound like a PRS guitar as Davy uses. Enjoy!

Guitar used is a Mexican Fender 50s Classic Players Stratocaster, fitted with Fender noiseless pickups. The interface used was a M-Audio MobilePre USB, with amp modelling and effects from GarageBand '11 on a MacBook

Davy Knowles has earned plum endorsements from D’Addario strings, PRS guitars, Bludotone amps, and Celestion speakers. In 2010, he became the first musician in history to play live directly to the International Space Station from Mission Control in Houston.  In addition, he’s held his own sharing the stage with such heavyweight artists as The Who, Jeff Beck, Gov’t Mule, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Kid Rock, Joe Bonamassa, Sonny Landreth, Peter Frampton, Joe Satriani, and the Sammy Hagar-fronted supergroup “Chickenfoot,” among many others.

On his aptly-titled Mascot Records’ debut, What Happens Next, roots singer-songwriter and guitarist Davy Knowles boldly steps forward with timeless and cohesive songwriting; sleek modern production; and a lyrical, play-for-the-song guitar approach informed from soul, folk, rock, and blues. The 12-song album is just as influenced by The Black Keys, Fantastic Negrito, Gary Clark Jr., as it is Muddy Waters, Junior Kimbrough, and R.L. Burnside. It is a cohesive body of work rather than a collection of disparate songs.
