Nice playing man!
I've been recording an EP at the moment with my band, I'll share some stuff here once we have it wrapped up but it's been such fun!
We decided that we were neither well rehearsed enough or sure of ourselves enough to make good use of a two day session at a studio so we decided to spend the same amount of money on recording gear and figure it out ourselves...
It's been going on for about four months now but such is the difficulty of getting people into a room together when you're over thirty and have all of the rest of life to be getting on with.
We've had to come up with some interesting and varied techniques for dealing with the imperfect acoustic conditions of our makeshift studio :)

Interested to hear how this comes out sounding. My band have started gigging now, done a couple over summer and have a third lined up early September, but we've got nothing recorded other than practice sessions on out phones and the Zoom H1N that I got. It's great for that purpose but not for anything to release. But I really want to go down the DIY route of recording stuff ourselves just as another fun creative avenue that we can all pitch in and learn together.

I’m having an enforced break from guitar as I couldn’t find my Guitalele after the kids had borrowed and hid it before a 4am depart for a week in Brittany. Bollocks.
Did a bit of quick and dirty remote collaboration with a mate on some library music last week. This is his full-time gig and he asked me to pitch in for a bit of variety and for a laff. The plan was to meet up in person to do one track with a brief that broadly translated to “heavy blues”.
Annoyingly on the day we had set aside he got sick and I got super busy so I ended up throwing together a Bo Diddley groove and *ahem, tossed off, some slide guff and pinging him the files. Almost everything I played on it was a one-take improv squeezed into 15 min gaps between work and childcare. It was all very rushed. My mate recovered enough to cobble together a rough arrangement and mix on submission day… didn’t turn out too bad all things considered.
