Managed to do a bit of recording on a new tune yesterday but i'm so rusty that I'm 90% sure i'll end up re-doing it. Already started out doing it on the Guild, then changed my mind and re-did it on the Sigma. Now pretty sure the Guild sounds better. Meh. It needs to be better played either way though. It's hard to get the right sloppy/swingy feel over a metronomic electronic beat without it just sounding "wrong".
I'm also massively dithering about arrangement in general. I definitely have tendency to add too many layers just because I can. Really trying to get away from that and make sure things are recorded with more care and not overly processed. I'm not sure i'm quite living up to my own aspirations yet.
Lastly, I think with picked parts (like this one is) I need to have the courage to just have one main guitar in the verses and introduce other elements (strummed parts and banjo) in the choruses. At the moment i think it's too busy.
Looking forward to having a bit of time to myself to have another go at it this weekend.
