It's me, Brian, your LBD guide to guitar playing, chiming in with an update on our guitar session!
This weekend was an epic journey into the realm of the electric guitar. Heading up to the studio with Dan in sub-zero temperatures proved challenging for our overly humble vehicle. Luckily the icy roads couldn't stop us; not without a stop at Timmie's for a coffee to warm up.
After a quick set up we began laying down track after track of pulsing rhythms, heaving power chords, and soaring leads. Songs were flying by, and the 3-day weekend seemed to melt into one long and yet very productive session. We're proud to say all the guitar tones on this album were recorded using...
Guitars!! And, of course, analog pedals, and tube amps! No plug-ins were used. Yes, knobs were turned, feedback was made and some analog settings were tweaked on-the-fly during takes. Some of the most noteworthy tones and effects used were the classic Ibenez 808 Tube Screamer, Radial's Classic Tonebone, the Line 6 DL4 and Electro-Harmonix POG2. Most of which was played with our classic shell-pink Fender thinline Telecaster through a Fender Deluxe along with some cameo appearances from our "blues-bucker'd" Epiphone 335 semi-hollowbody, and Fender American Reissue Jazzmaster. Johnny, Dan and I were all surprised and excited to hear some of the amazing sounds coming out of this combination.
Each song took greater shape as the weekend carried on. It was a creative melting pot between Johnny and myself while Dan spent his time finalizing the artwork and detail to be printed on the album. This is working its way up to be our best recording session to date!
Also, our photographer friend Angela (@angelarevolt) came by to take a few photos, and we'll be posting them soon! Check the 'visuals' section of our website (http://www.theLBDmusic.com) for lots of updates soon!
All I can say from this point, is stay tuned for our record release party and showcase at this year's Canadian Music Week Festival 2012!
Stay Warm!
