solo electric guitar, featuring the Century 'Clydesdale' in DADGAD tuning.
› nerd stuff about the guitar
‹ nerd stuff about the guitar
"The Century Clydesdale is an aluminum necked guitar designed around the classic mustang body shape. It has a much longer 25.5" scale and more robust p94 type pickups, hence the name. The hardtail bridge and alnico II pickups add to the sustain, as does the body's walnut center block."
i wanted to actually keep things simple this week. i may revisit this song down the road, but i'm happy with the sparse feeling and also wanted to highlight the sound of this guitar without other layers or much processing (there is some light EQ, compression, & tape sim on the master bus). oh - this was the neck pickup... 'neck of the century' ahhh

‹ nerd stuff about the recording & a little experiment
this is one take played straight through, but i set up two mics (nothing fancy - a Monoprice LR100 ribbon mic and a Rode NT3) on my Music Man HD130 2x12 combo amp, and i also ran a DI straight in (with a basic amp modeling plug-in). so there were three tracks of the same performance. i was curious to hear those three tracks next to each other, and after listening to this excellent interview with dub legend Scientist on the Transmissions podcast i also kinda wanted to see if people could tell which one is the DI. *i'm not sure i'd be able to tell which was which if i wasn't the one who mixed it!
i set up the track in sections... so one part has just the ribbon mic, another part has just the Rode, and another part has just the DI.
*on section D — when the bridge/change comes in till the end — i have all three tracks going (one is centered and taking lead, and the other two are hard-panned opposite each other).
i labeled the sections in the upper right corner of the video, but if you're just listening to the audio this is how it was broken up:
A.) 0 - 00:48
B.) 00:49 - 01:36
C.) 01:37 - 02:00
D.) 02:01 - end (all 3 tracks)
so if you feel like participating in this goofy experiment, let me know which part (A, B, or C) you think is the DI signal and why you think so. also please feel free to ignore this nerdery and just listen to the song, ha!
as always, thanks so much for listening. i'm really glad i decided to try WB this year and have really appreciated your feedback, and it has been inspiring to hear so much new music from all of you.

I like the simplicity! Very interesting to read about your experiments. Cool approach to mixing subtle yet elaborate, I think it’s quite a nice effect too, compositionally. Also i will gladly participate in your goofy experiment, I haven’t played around with electric guitars al ot but my guess would be B is DI. the sound is less “coloured”, The way the fret buzz for examples comes out sounds more “direct” and also the other two are noisier which makes B the odd one out. Anyways, cool experiment!

I listened to some American Football this week, and this has some of those sentimental math rock vibes. A bummer this is "No Derivative Works" as I'd try to build something around it.
As for your experiment, my DI vote is option B because that one doesn't have any low-frequency hum whereas the others do, especially the first one.

definitely the intro to an epic emo song! the recording sounds great too
ok i just read about your experiment. on a first casual listen, i didn't even notice a change in recording quality. on a 2nd more detailed listen: take A sounds the best to my ears, the real 'sweetness' of a neck humbucker comes through the most on this take. B and C are so close I really can't tell the difference if i'm being honest, but I guess one of those are the DI. Take D is my 2nd favorite as its sonically closer to A.
Let's be honest though, all takes sound great and it really takes a guitarist and very concentrated listening to appreciate the very subtle differences

Lovely tune and playing I really like how things open up a bit in part D, while still keeping the gentleness and delicacy that make this such a pleasant listen.
My guess for the goofy experiment is A - to me the higher notes have a bit less brightness, and small moments of string buzz seem louder/crunchier in B and C as if coming through a "real" amp. I'm also intrigued by the aluminum neck and P94 pickups, I'm probably not used to what either of these sound like so I wouldn't be surprised to find out A, B, or C are correct.

Beautiful as ever, jwh, and I'm super fond of the minimal approach here. (Though in my head...I could hear this as a Rutabega song!) Wonderful performance and recording, too, and a neat experiment! I'd guess...
A: Ribbon
B: Direct
C: Rode
...but it's hard to tell, indeed.

This felt like sipping a warm cup of tea while watching ducks float by on the river.
Also why do I still want to slowly head-bang while listening to this? It’s gentle and powerful at the same time.

I like the experiment! I agree with the folks who were guessing B for the DI as it sounded like some of the low growl dropped out, but I don't really know. The song is very nice as is, and the sound is great.

I immediately loved the sound of this nice guitar. A bit dobrolike but still plenty colors in the tone.
I think the DI is on B. I used my multiple choice tactics.

nice piece! I found out about DADGAD from a silly viral instagram post, but it's a nice tuning in spite of its meme potential. I still have to explore it. nice work on the clean and sparse track! sounds great! thanks for sharing the notes too!
BTW I also found out about Jacob Collier's 5 string guitar tuning in 5ths and 4ths from an interview on youtube. I couldn't watch past the point where he was like "I was just hanging out with Joni Mitchell last week" but it's fascinating to watch, I might power through it later on.

Really enjoyed the story of the guitar and the process taken. The tone of that guitar sounds lovely. It reminds me a bit of one of my fav post-rock bands Caspian. I could listen to an albums worth of contemplative soothing music like this. tanks

I would say...
A) Monoprice LR100
B) Rode NT3
C) DI
but I'm not at all confident in those guesses... each has much less to do with the tone of guitar, and more to do with noise floor and background artifacts... A is pretty noisy, so that's what makes me think the LR1100... and I'm going DI on C because there are some little artifacts WAY in the background that my ear wants to be amp modeling... though it could also be compressed room noise maybe...
Overall sounds great though, very slick guitar.
Man the tone on that guitar is something else...

There is a weird buzz up to 49 secs or so... It ain't that bad, but weird that it stops like that as guitar tone itself doesn't change. (Just read that you did put 3 different input, I'd say 1rst section would be the ribbon (which seems to be the noisiest, then DI (The cleanest signal), then Rode that seems to have a bit more "hi-end".
Nice smooth track, I really like the fact there is not much processing but we can really ear the guitar (and amp on the sections where there is the amp...)
Nicely done!

I like the little challenge you gave us. I don't know, not going to guess. Plus I read the comments while listening. But it all sounds very nice, I like them all together. Very nice playing, pacing and recording. I'm excited to listen to that Scientist interview you shared too, tanks!

thank you all so much for listening and sharing your thoughts! truly means a lot to me and thanks for humoring me with this (not very scientific) experiment.
i'll post the sound sources for each section as a spoiler drop-down in case anyone else stops by & wants to guess.
› DI/mic breakdown
‹ DI/mic breakdown
A.) 0 - 00:48 = Monoprice LR100 ribbon mic
B.) 00:49 - 01:36 = Direct One DB-01 direct input
C.) 01:37 - 02:00 = Rode NT3 medium diaphragm condenser
D.) 02:01 - end = all 3 tracks. DI was center, Monoprice ribbon panned hard left, Rode MDC panned hard right
for as well as it takes to more gain & pedals, i've really fallen in love with the clean sound of this guitar. i'm also not a purist when it comes to recording through amps (or anything really), so i was very happy with how each of these tracks sounded. i can see using all 3 approaches for different applications. if i had to pick a favorite for this particular song, i'd say i was really drawn to the section A ribbon mic. i didn't notice the noise floor until some of you pointed it out, and i had to really listen for it. even so, it didn't bug me and i think with some EQ etc i could clean it up a bit more.
ok, thanks again! working on another little experiment for this weeks track

Really enjoying the calm and open vibe of this guitar jam! Sends me back to the best parts of the 90s.
Cool and glassy guitar tone, btw. I used to own a Kramer aluminium neck guitar, but never really tried it for clean stuff.

thanks so much, a lot of 90s music was formative for me so it doesn't surprise me that you're getting that. those Kramers seem really cool. i've got a lot of friends & folks from the music community who are into aluminum guitars (Kramers, Travis Beans, Electrical Guitar Co, etc). i was never really drawn to them for myself, but my buddy Chris who built this Clydesdale posted some process pics and details about it when he was building it as a prototype. i had been wanting a Mustang for a while and i couldn't stop thinking about this guitar so decided to give it a try. really glad i did!
