Before the Flight

YouTube applies some pretty gnarly compression, SC too but it’s usually a little less painful.

With regards your worries about keeping up - bear in mind there’s no specification on length…

… or even that it has to be tune or song. You could just knock out a few bars or a riff or two. Don’t pressure yourself to do more than you feel comfortable with, it should be about you having fun, recording, trying things out. Whether that’s a bass riff, nailing a squealy, a few bars of musical thought, a full track or just one instrument, maybe it’s just figuring out a sound. It’s practice and a record of progress and you want to be in the position that you don’t mind if it’s not perfect because there’s next time, so whenever you’re putting yourself under pressure there remind yourself to let go, just do what you can and enjoy yourself.

Well done Larry , a track a week sounds cool , that's what I aim for , that means 50 tracks per year and about 4 albums, in that time your skill will immensely progress in all directions and sure develop your own style & tone.

Don't forget , it must be a pleasure and not a chore , so have fun

Quote from BayouTexan

I rushed this in to pick up my wife at the airport (hence this week's theme). I wanted to play it for her on the drive home.

I think I got a better bass track this time. I fumbled thru the bassline because my trigger finger won't cooperate; especially on a bass. I've been practicing the Zakk Wylde squealy and wanted to do it on this track but I am still too high-pitched even doing it at the fretboard. I am determined to nail that squealy. I don't know if I can keep up the one-track-per-week challenge but not giving up yet.

I uploaded on soundcloud because youtube was making my track very wishy-washy for some reason.

Nice one BayouTexan sounds great, i love the voice over bits too. My wife thinks ALL my music sounds the same, i could never get her to listen to it haha.

I think the bass should be louder. Everybody wants to hear the bass.

I really like the rhythm guitar parts and I think the bass would go well with those.

Cheers,
