Guitar Talk

I went to the studio yesterday. It didn’t pan out the way I had anticipated. I had it in mind to re-record the acoustic guitar part. There’s buzz on the original track. It's a buzz only I can hear, but I thought I'd bring my guitar in and replace the Gibson J45. I learned that you can’t replace a Gibson J45. I have a nice guitar, but it didn’t record well. It sounded thin and lacked the depth I was looking for. I was disappointed with its performance.

            Sound is a funny thing. It’s no accident that Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan used Stratocasters. Some guitars are proven and I learned that the hard way yesterday. I’m still going to use the tracks. I’m going to combine the two and bury the cheap sounding guitar in the background. Nothing is ever wasted.
