It Ain't the Same

    Kind of a lame riff but I wanted to try and get a good mix for referencing with my latest studio setup. I also wanted to see how overlaying opposing arpeggios sounded over a bass. I double-tracked my G&L tele totally dry with zero effects (I'm not crazy about just relying on guitar and amp tone like this). This tele is extremely bright compared to what I am used too. Nonetheless, a good lesson learned.

    Good stuff Larry. I like the dry sound, it is pretty transparent, I can hear all instruments well in the mix. Nice breaks as well, that makes it more lively than some of your (much) older tunes :thumbup: 8)

    Thanks deadman! The dry tone did make it easier to separate the instruments which is what I was hoping for on this mix. I guess I just need play more dry and get accustomed to it.

    Dry tones, well I like 'em a lot , they are so easy to mix. I tend to use tele tones for overdubs as they won't invade the mix in lots of contexts , rock , pop , funk, chorused lines ...


    The other option on the tele is blues, country but you have to build up a 'mix cutting' tone with attitude, mainly in the crunch register, like D Gatton. Here is a KPA example ( using filtertrons)


    Tele have that bite & twang , you must get used to it and know how to attack the strings hard to let them shout : thin , but present , twangy but definitely recognizable


    check that KPA user , he nailed it pretty well , you're not very far judging from your demo that I liked.


    Here is another from me , whenI was a junior tele layer , with an humble stock squier thinline ( rigs available on the thread)

    This! LOL. Thanks Renaud! It will definitely take me some time getting used to the Tele.

    Nicely done. Keep building on rhythmic complexity.
