Little Bend

Friday night's tracking session brought up a couple parts that remain (0:41-1:25, 1:46-2:08), but there wasn't a hook until a second tracking session Saturday night resulted in harmonized melody lines over a chord progression. I'm kind of a sucker for that.

PureSalem Mendiola through JHS Colourbox into the UA Volt. A bit of convolution reverb, and multiband compression/eq. Unlike last week, this one's actually stereo.

The title comes from the meaning of Lúbán, a 636m peak in Ireland: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobawn

I'm enjoying the tones in this one. And nice work on the stereo space. 

i am also a sucker for harmonized melody lines over a chord progression, this did not disappoint!

That harmonised melody is beautiful! The stereowidth on this is lovely too, I love how it adds to the call and response of the melody. Such beautiful guitar tones too. Wonderful piece!

Thank you! I just put one track center, one a bit left, and one a bit right. If the L and R tracks are more melodic, there's a nice opportunity for call-and-response or a harmony spread over the stereo field.

Thank you, sir! I've really done a number of these over the last couple years. It's a comfort thing.

Thank you! I've been getting a lot out of this guitar and fingers. (I've been able to get a great deal of tonal variety out of varying finger touch. I'm glad you liked it!

Masterful! I love reading about your track names too. thank you

"Glen of Imail" sounds delightful - just like this track

a beautiful melody and calming listening throughout.  thank you for this escape smile

very comfy, though not much note bending
