Recording update: I need to practice more
I laid down the rhythm guitar tracks yesterday and it took all day to do four songs but they sounds really good.
I used my JCM 800 and a Fender Prosonic. I pushed the JCM 800 with a tube screamer that I modded for more output and bass. The 800 was run through my Mesa Cab with Vintage 30s and the Prosonic was run through a fender cab of some type. I don’t even know what it was but it sounded good. The Prosonic is an awesome amp. It’s got a lot of gain and can definitely keep up with the 800. The amps were run simultaneously and I doubled most of the guitar parts.
In summary, the tracks already sound huge without even having laid down Lew’s parts. The hardest part was playing the parts tight. I already practice with a metronome but it’s still difficult to hear yourself from a 3rd person perspective. Once Lew has his own day coming up in a couple weeks to lay his tracks down, it’s vocals and guitar solos time so I got two weeks to get my chops back up to par.
