Got the lead part(s) done for a song, today. This song is originally supposed to be some kind of country song. But at the end, it turned into some sort of fusion or funk kind of song, ha ha. I think I’m liking the idea of funk, lately.

Had the opportunity to get the lead guitar work done for Muddy Ditch. Trying to get more consistent with lead guitar… but even when I think I’ve played a part slowly enough (to not sound hurried or erratic,) I hear the recording play back… and end up trying all over again.

I’m finding that the electric guitar (for lead parts, at least,) is almost like a river; it moves and bends… it naturally needs to flow.

Was given some free time today… so, that equals some prime recording time! Got the vocal tracks recorded for the following songs: Drive Home, and What is Left.

Got the lead guitar parts done (or re-done,) for song number 13 (Like a Shadow), today. Wish I had time to practice the song parts… that way it’d take me less time to record, at least.

I do believe that the lead guitar (and lead guitar FX,) parts for songs 11 and 12 (Lonely Girl and Mother of Waters,) are now recorded. Still want to make sure they all fit together… but, I’m glad they are recorded. It’s still amazing to me how playing just one note can actually sound alright… at least, when it’s being used for rhythm.

I think the recording is already partly done for the 17th song… but I still have to check. In the meantime, I just decided to get the rhythm guitar (and some, or all, of the lead guitar parts,) tonight for the 18th song (What is Left).

Still trying to aim for a more-human feel, or emotional quality, to the recording. I’m finding that it’s tougher than I thought to make something sound more relaxed (sloppy,) on purpose… while still making it fit with the tempo of the song.

I think the rhythm guitar part for song number 16 (Drive Home) is recorded, now. It kind of sounds sloppy… but, the sloppiness ends up putting a more-human touch on it, I think. Too many of my “songs” have been far too robot-like for far too long.
