This time I felt like playing around with the wah wah pedal effect and also using a less heavy kind of strat sound. Just for the heck of it, to see how it would record. I think it sounds pretty cool and cheesy at the same time. I've never really used wah wah much and like anything else it take a some practice to make it sound right. I think I did OK, but sloppiness abounds on this thing. I'm finding that by the time I get the drum and bass parts worked out I'm pretty bored of it and I just want to record some guitar quickly. I didn't go as nuts on the drums, but did a few new techniques with it. I actually ended up doing a lot more guitar parts and edits than I had planned but what the hell. I used the white strat only on this one.

thanks

I'll have to make songs for some of the other annoying phrases on your list. Not sure how I'll play "Yummy tiramisu martinis at the Cheesecake Factory."

If you can play it, you can say it.

Experiments in guitar recording.

Little nuggets of guitar playing for your (but especially my) enjoyment.

From the very beginning when I used to hear those solos on those old records I used to say: now here is an instrument that is capable of spewing forth true obscenity, you know? If ever there's an obscene noise to be made on an instrument, it's going to come out of a guitar. On a saxophone you can play sleaze. On a bass you can play balls. But on a guitar you can be truly obscene... Let's be realistic about this, the guitar can be the single most blasphemous device on the face of the earth. That's why I like it... The disgusting stink of a too-loud electric guitar: now that's my idea of a good time.
