Mark and Dean tracking Slide Guitar
December 29, 2009 by MarkS
Dean and I got together recently, got our waders on and took a walk through a southern swamp to channel Duane Allman for some paranormal inspiration to help us with tracking slide guitar parts to a new Funny Money song called “Right Things To Me.” The other rhythm guitars were already recorded using a ESP baritone guitar, a Randy Rhoades Super Lead Special Edition Marshall and my trusty ‘76 Hiwatt Custom 100 DR103, rumored to actually have been looked at by Pete Townshend himself once. Normally I wouldn’t use a POD to record a spotlight guitar track, I usually restrict PODs to overdubs only (and only if I don’t feel like going all the way downstairs to fire up the fire-breathing real amps), but the POD X3 Pro I have has some really cool mushy tremolo teeth-pullin greasy electric blues sounds, just reeking of stinky swamp gas. Perfect for what we wanted to do. Dean was noodling around with the chord progression on the slide and I thought it would be a good idea to use that as an intro. So check it out, it is once again a LONG video but there are some good comedy moments and Dean tracked some great parts. Go on YouTube and give us some ratings and comments for this video will ya?
