3 years ago

Ah, we're making you wait for the continuation of the Brandon interview. But, what do you know, here is one we just recorded last week.

We talk a bit more about amplification but in particular for classical guitarists, and perhaps using studio monitors? Will that work? Perhaps. Which leads to discussion about recording your guitar... you are responsible for getting the sound you want, don't expect the sound engineer to nail it down.

The main topic of the day... What kind of guitarist to you aim for? Are you the type that is working to mimic any style? Your sort of studio ace, hired gun work? Or do you get hired to sound like yourself? Certainly we all do what we got to do, but plenty of great players very well, but their job is to not be too unique, to play the right part, they're hired to not be instantly noticeable of who they are. Like, we knew it was Edward Van Halen playing on Beat It, he was hired to be himself, not to just be "generic" so to speak. As we discuss, it's not so black and white, but it is an interesting question to ask yourself about your goals as a musician. I suspect there is plenty more we discussed, but you'll have to listen and check it out.Episode Notes
