Guitar piece
Guitar pieceI recently found a demo cassette of unfinished tunes I was recording in the late 90s. I had a second hand Fostex digital 8 track machine, an Alesis 16 bit drum machine and some guitars bass, a few stomp boxes going in through a Marshall preamp, with a cheap rack mounted fx unit in the aux loop. The one piece of equipment I still have from that time is my Carvin SC90 which is still my workhorse guitar I really didn't have a clue about producing then and had just graduated from a Tascam 4 track machine so had no idea how to use MIDI or edit tracks, drum patterns were programmed start to finish then recorded onto 2 tracks without MIDI synch. Worst still the Fostex had a total record time on the hard disk of 12 minutes so once I finished a track I had to record it then lose the original data. My plan was to find a singer and form a group to re-record some of this music but had no idea what kind of band I wanted to be in so basically ripped off everything that was happening in the 90s. There are a couple of blues jams too. The backing tracks for these were from those free CDs you used to get with guitar magazines. Although these were recorded between 1997 and 2000, some were written a couple of years previously and this pretty much represents everything I did between leaving Sweet FA and joining Sepiatone.
