After that, Anthony tracked some acoustic guitar to add a little flavor to the song. It was really good to have the points of view of both Eddie and John Kargol, his assistant. They worked with Anthony on figuring out just the right part for the acoustic. It seemed that in general, Anthony wished to lay down an acoustic layer throughout the song. But after we tried that, the song was kind of muddy and too thick. So John, Eddie and Anthony worked out a good ornamental part. The result was good.
After spending a good chunk of time on that, we moved on to Anthony's delay-soaked guitar solo. The only problem was that his effects pedal is currently in the shop, getting serviced. Eddie Ciletti, however, did not see this as a problem. "We have tape!" he said. So we did Anthony's delay the old fashioned way, with a natural hall reverb and a tape delay. It sounds really good.
That was all we had time for tonight. Sadly, Dustin lugged his gear two blocks after finding parking and didn't even use it. We've got a few more overdubs left on this tune and then we'll move on to overdubbing the others.
Stay tuned, Junebuggers! This stuff is good!
