Baritone Puppets W.I.P.

[rayc]

I've been learning how to play & record with my new super cheap baritone guitar.
This track has the Baritone D.I.'d via an AC30 amp in a box, trem & spring reverb pedals.
Part of the "solo" is through my Marshall But I'll need to relearn what it was to rerecord. I'd like to do these all through my Marshall but have been experimenting to get the combo of trem & reverb sound so amp in a box is easier/quicker. The baritone, B tuning, does the solo, accents and trem chords. I used an ancient classical/nylon string guitar for some accents here n there.
The rhythm guitars, my Rickenfaker 12 & Squire Mustang are through the Marshall - quite clean.
Redoing the chord chart as +5 has made the chords super easy but doing single notes etc, unless pulled from a chord, still needs me to think & rehearse.
BIAB does the drums, organ & ska guitar, (too fast for me at 170bpm), I used midi to write & play the Melotron string parts, but I'm the rest.

a fun test track actually but the solo is buried ....... I can barely hear it ... from what I can hear it sounds appropriately spaghetti as far as I can tell but it's just almost not there

More spaghetti westerns need sudden ska interludes, I've often said!

Yes, the solo was my 1st attempt and through my amp. I hadn't worked out how to work against the humbuckers. I decided, for the update, to EQ etc. the solo to match the accent notes. I used Spectrum Matcher in Reaper...I think it works a bit better now.
The 1st notes of the intro are the lowest note on the baritone - LOW B. I thought I'd try to mark that aspect of the guitar. For the most part the stuff I've played on the accents and solo are the E & A strings. The only time I ventured into D, F# & High B was with the trem chords in the chorus.

Odd eh? The rhythm guitar part I played was fine but I wanted some difference so thought I'd give ska a whirl. I think it fits...for the moment.

God dam that Ska guitar over there on the left is amazing dude. That is so badass. IS that the mustang Ray?

I like where this going buddy. I'm sort of in a small burst of recording inspo, mostly bass. if you were ok with it could you send me bounced version's of this with and without bass for me to use as some practice and if what i work out is to your liking you can keep it. Otherwise ti'll just be something for me to private use for training / practice.

The bass i am currently recording is miserably uninspiring 4 power chord punk rock stuff. Hardly a challenge but fun to "get the old band together" again.

No worries,
Ill render it for you in the morning.
Ska guitar - sadly it's BIAB...I simply couldn't get it right and gave up the fight.
