Thingy (mp3)

The above is a track of guitar, two tracks of (alternating) drums, and another track of 1-note guitar shifted down one octave to fake a bass (for the first 65 sec). This is just a ton of right-hand muting; I'm basically just pounding the strings with the right side of my right palm.

Here is the raw guitar track with some drums Thingy2 (mp3).

New Fender CD-60

NewGuitar (mp3)

Brought the Telecaster to the shop for a full setup, since several things were bugging me about it. Didn't want to be without one for a few days so I got an acoustic one with case, which I'm planning on bringing to Mexico. :-)

Much higher action, very confusing hearing myself in both the monitor and from the guitar when I tried to record this. Electric is easy cause I can turn up the monitor to drown out the guitar itself. This is recorded from the built-in pickup, which has a very bright sound to it, it seems, but there are some adjustments I can play with after I've played it a few days and get used to it physically. New strings always sound that way to me anyway.

Note that you can hear my drum machine in the background, being heard via the guitar's internal pickup.

Delay

Delay (mp3)

Playing with the delay settings and trying to sync my speed to the timing of the pedal... can't really play the drum machine with it, cause it can't get them accurate enough. I can see why a human drummer with a monitor from the delay or something would be a big help.
