Sneak peak from the new album
A few days ago, I had my first rehearsal with Joe and Eliot (bass and drums) to prep for the new album. They BLEW MY SOCKS OFF!!
I want to share a one minute snippet from one of the songs but first I need to set it up.
- It’s very important you listen on something (headphones or….) where you can actually hear Joe’s bass playing.
- This clip is the FIRST TAKE of the FIRST song we tried at our First rehearsal.
A few weeks earlier, I had gotten together with Joe and Eliot individually with just an acoustic guitar to review the various sections of the songs we would be focusing on and discuss what I had in mind for the bass and drum parts. (Note: I don’t know enough about playing drums or bass to give meaningful instructions. 😊 I just described the ‘vibe’ I was after). I left them each with a rough recording of a draft guitar track so they could work on ideas for the sections.
Without ANY discussion up front and without them reviewing ideas with each other, listen to what they came up with. This clip starts in the last few seconds of the intro. As the first verse starts, listen to the groove they both locked in to. I am SO LUCKY to be working with these guys!
Recording this first take was a last second decision. Hence the camera angle. 😊
