Pool Noodle

w 3 vocals. don't try this at home.



this is all scratch, all first takes, only one small vocal edit.
did a bit more mixing to clarify the vocal.

added bass track

I got my lemon and my lime
Reposado and a dime
I’m watchin the sun
Go down in Tehachapi

Got no women and no wine
Ain’t watchin what’s my line
Got my feet up on the rail
This ain’t no friggin’ fail

Pondering the wheels of time
As I strode up thru the pinyon pines
Head spinnin outta my mind
But yeah I’m feelin fine

I got my lemon and my lime
Reposado and a dime
I’m watchin the sun
Go down in Tehachapi

Yeah got my lemon got my lime
Reposado and a dime
watchin the sun
Go down in Tehachapi

There will come a day
When my soul just gets up and walks away
No one to shed a tear or cry
My soul will be returned by and by

Got a corona and a lime
Reposado and a dime
yeah I’m feelin fine
in Tehachapi

yeah I’m feelin fine
watchin the sun go down
in Tehachapi

Corona and a lime
Reosado and a dime
And I’m watchin the sun
Go down in Tehachapi

The sun is goin down
In Tehachapi

And the sun is goin down
In Tehachapi

Expresso - Already Got One '81

A little fun thing in the mix

meant to write an actual piece, but as usual just started overdubbing on the fly.  just improvising til I decide it's done.

Monzogranite

Named for White Rock Canyon outside of Las Vegas  (pictured).  2014 G&L Legacy on rhythm and older F-100II on lead.  Added bx-megadual on the lead, Amplitube blackface super reverb on the rhythm.  Toontrack Superior drummer 2.

a lot of the tone here comes from driving my super reverb to a pretty good level.

White Rock Canyon Blues V2

Tribute to Bob Wojnar, my long time friend and fellow instrumental music compatriot.  He really liked Pat Metheny and so many others, I did this track tonight, ... in his memory.  We talked for hours about music...  such a great guy.

(sorry for the picture frame rattling in the the background man!)

Doc.

Ode To Wojo  (Robert D. Wojnar Sr.)

more from the Boss SY-300   so good.   play any guitar in your collection. Just trying lots of things...   glissando,  scraping strings...   and wild bends, it will follow you anywhere.

G&L USA S-500  (from Lindsay at MapleStreetGuitars) > Lehle Sunday Driver > Voodoo Labs PX-8 >  Fulltone FullDrive2 > BOSS SY-300 > TC Electronics SCF > Fender Super Reverb preamp > Alesis 3630 rack compressor > Lexicon MX300 > Fender output stage > Eminence 12" Cannabis Rex and 10" Copperhead speakers in Mojotone cabinet.

More Boss SY300 fun

whacking at the synth solo...  did this on a whim using  my 97 G&L S-500, using the Boss SY-300.  Just added bass with my G&L L-2000. all in one take as usual.....

Added Rhythm guitar...

Photo was taken by Professor Luke Keller at an observatory in Chile with further processing by me. 

the SY-300 is fed with both stages lit on my Fulltone Fulldrive 2 and at a loud volume thru my dual fender amp rig.  enjoy, ciao.

Steppin' Up V4

New sheriff in town...   No EQ on this.

...and now a solo, a bit of a dip in EQ at 2.5K on the solo.

OK and I figured out that one of my input channels was out of polarity, causing everything to sound thin.   .... now how much stuff do I have to go back and remix??

S - 500D

Same as S-500 but with Eventide Blackhole Reverb Plugin...   automated using write function in ProTools

S - 500D w/ Blackhole

A dirge for the displaced....   title from the end of an article in Rolling Stone #1296 by Jeff Godell.

All Guitar, as usual...

Godin XTsa>Boss GP-10>MidiX-20>ARP Odyssey>THE rig...

I shot the photo at 7000 feet on Hell's Backbone in Utah...

Path to the Milky Way,  part 1

Straight up through the rig,  two tracks,  sweet,  on the 86 Skyhawk.

nothing but some slight compression with the Vertigo VSC-2 plug-in.

The Red One

um... trying to get a MOTU midi hub to work.

Arturia Midi 1

....from my living room.

A note:  we do not want to be seen as trying to gain from the situation we are faced with.  We had been working on this for a couple of years and it did seem like the right time to forge ahead, given the fact that we were under stay at home orders.

NYChris Koch:  Vocal, Bass, rhythm guitar, lyrics, recording and tracking.

Dr. G. : Drum programming, Lead guitar, backing vocal, Production and original idea.

If Koch was not such a monster of playing with a click track, this would not have been possible as the drums were added after the basic track was recorded by Koch.  Then we worked on the overall production and finishing.

Enjoy.

Watching The World End
