SEEKING
Band to Join, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, Keyboard.ABOUT
Beacon based musician looking to collaborate with others, and ultimately form a band. Interested in blues/blues based music. Checking things out. Seeing what can happen. Been at the guitar since 1975. That’s 46 years to learn something. I’m a professional with a day job... blah blah blah. But It doesn’t matter if the music gets made.
I’m somebody now! Check out jacobXblues, “Big Red Devil” on Pandora, You Tube, Spotify, Amazon Music and Apple Music.
The Supro 1 Watt amp was mic’d with a Sennheiser e609, against the cone, no effects. Nice mild crunch, and it imparts the PRS Vela semihollow used with a nice airy honkyness that works well in the mix. One rhythm track, one vocal, and a short solo... nothing else. The song was all recorded outside on my deck... on a Tascam DP-008EX recorder, exported and mixed in Garage Band. Really shows the vintage flavor of the amp and guitar. The solo was done in 2 takes because it was starting to get cold on the deck and was beginning to rain.
