All guitars on this song are one take switching between channels and riding the volume on the guitar.
Guitar - 1988 Jackson RR with SD Dimebucker pick-up
Chorus on one track - TC Corona with Andy Summers Tone print
Boogie Mk.2C++
1969 Celestion Greenback speaker
Shure SM57
ZOOM LiveTrak L-12 recorder
The bass was played through the C++ & EVM12L speaker.
One take bass, I already did all guitars first so I didn't even think about what I played on bass, just sort of noodled along.
As far as vocals go. I usually blend a bunch of different types of vocals. I learned that by mistake after not finding the right voice, because I'm a very poor singer, and after blending, it was acceptable.
In the "Guide Us" song, I ran out of tracks which was fortunate because my voice was shot after that one take, plus I was crying my brains out thinking about my good good friend who died of cancer two days earlier. The drummer played in his band and I recorded his first album back in 1991. He found out he had a brain tumor and bang, dead, like that! A two minute song that took two minutes to write, fucking great song, that lead is something I've had for a while. Give a listen, if it's not your type, try my country song "Leave It Be", it's the "hit" so far, it has new singers coming soon, male and female duet.
