After some 'idle' (har!) time I finally managed to get to do some musical stuff again and also pulled in my co-conspirator from the far North er, Midlands

Synth is me, as is the lead guitar, whereas all the other guitar parts, including the 'interlude' lead are offthewall.

Thoughts, comments, suggestions are all welcome, and I'm sure we'd even accept these:

Oh, and the tune is Faded Pictures as an ogg or mp3

Focused on melody indeed.

Thanks Dave - clearly the cookery lessons were a success

It's the bastard child of Enigma and Chris Isaak.

I like.

How were the guitars recorded btw? They're super clean (which in the context of this track is a good thing).

You will have to wait for Folderol to tell you how his main 'electric' lead was recorded, but the acoustic was done like this.
It is an experiment I been working on. Having worked with solely acoustic guitars for a long time I recently got an electro-acoustic (Ibanez) so I recorded two mono tracks together, one from the built-in pick-up system and one from a condenser mic, then mixed them down as a stereo track. It seemed to me to have some very interesting results.
The finalised track was then mixed in to the overall session by Folderol.

Sorry I'm late - been working on my compo entry

The electric was taken direct to the DAW via a simple buffer preamp. The only effects added (in the DAW) were a bit of compression and quite a lot of reverb. The guitar is a Squier Tele.

Thanks for the insights into the guitar recording. It's still a very new field for me, and something else to be shite at for the next several years

Thanks a lot markkuja. Knowing your own guitar work this comes as high praise

Don't tell anyone but I'm quite new to guitar recording myself

If I can do it there's hope for everyone else
