I have made a first attempt to document the recording progress of the album. The working title, which is most likely to be the official title is "All in a Life’s Work". It’s pretty exciting to be exploring the possibilities of sharing information via new media and looking on the positive side to this poor quality video, my on-camera skills can only get better. I will refrain from blaming the limits imposed by my web cam etc…!
Guitars are going really well, as I would expect, this being my favourite part of tracking the instruments. The Fender Princeton Recording Amp is an absolute gem and is delivering the goods effortlessly. This is one hell of a good amp and fits the description of recording amp perfectly. Well done Fender! Also waiting in the wings is a modified Fender Champion 600 reissue for more tonal flavours. That amp has been modded to sound closer to a tweed era champ from the 1950′s and it sounds amazing being fed through the Tonetubby 10" alnico speaker in the Princeton Recording amp.
All my other projects are on the shelf right now apart from completing 50/90 songwriting challenge. I have 6 songs left to write in 7 days, but 3 of those days I will be in the depths of rural Thailand and away form my guitar… and the internet (yikes!)
