Steel Guitar Rag for No Particular Reason

Zack — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 07:59:45 +0000

It’s late, and I was having difficulties working out a tricky riff for a new tune. So, I took a detour into the 30′s with a very short version of Steel Guitar Rag played on my Silver Strat through my Blackface Princeton, a few overdrive pedals, and my beloved Echoplex!
I guess, enjoy?

The Memorial Day Tunes

Zack — Fri, 29 May 2009 19:42:18 +0000

“New Dreams” was actually recorded earlier in the weekend (on Friday) not on Memorial Day like my previous post said. Sorry about the mix up. So, the three songs from Memorial Day itself are ”Angular Clouds,” ”The Procedure,” and “Let Her In.” I recorded all the parts with real instruments and voice. Here are the rough cuts of them…

“Angular Clouds” is a guitar solo piece on the Televarious (fretless tele). It’s almost too short, but I like it enough to use it on my next record. After I messed around for a few takes, what you hear here is one solo pass with no punch-ins.

“The Procedure” is a vocal song with a random 80′s sounding bridge. But I want to hear what the bridge sounds like to you people. Leave a comment if you want! “YOU PEOPLE?!?!?!?!” Who are you calling “YOU PEOPLE?!?!?!?!?”

“Let Her In” I’m not even gonna try to describe it. I want to hear “You People’s” thoughts!

New Dreams

This is one of five tunes I made on Memorial Day 2009. Three turned out usable. The other two are nice ideas, but remain underdeveloped for the time being. This song is called “New Dreams.” It’s not mixed and mastered properly as of yet, but I still want to share it with you people before it hits the shelves. What do you mean “You People?!?!?!”

Comments are always welcomed! I enjoy hearing people’s thoughts both positive or negative. Also, you can now leave comments using the Facebook Connect tool on the sidebar.

Here’s a New Tune on the Fretless called “Try Again Now”

Zack — Fri, 08 May 2009 17:51:29 +0000

I used my fretless for the melody and one of the rhythm tracks. I played all the stringed instruments though my 1974 Bassman 50. I love my amp! Also, This might be the debut to the public of my new vintage Zildjian ride/crash cymbal from the late 40′s early 50′s (has a transitional stamp). Here’s the tune in it’s raw, unmastered form. Enjoy!
