stirred guitar 1

A live experiment with guitar + drums. I placed my electric guitar directly on top of a drum kit, resting mostly on the rack tom and floor tom. And then I just hit it like a percussive instrument, as if it was part of the drums, recording everything in one take.

Very cool!

Drums sounds great, really like the rhythmic choice of the "one chord" guitar, this is a funky one with those 2 single coils...

The overall mix sounds very good to me.

Pretty cool, I think I might try that too! 

Nice cymbal sound - super clean.  Whole kit sounds fire.  Interesting with the pluck-by-stick sound... is gives it a very different timbre to strumming / picking.  Interesting, only one chord, but the texture / subtlety holds interest for the whole track.  Looking forward to hearing what else you produce :-)

Really pretty guitar… both sound and looks. Groovy little jam here. Your room sounds really awesome. Great overall sound and vibe here. Nice job!

It came out really well, maybe next week you can hit a different string.

Love it! Great idea and groove!

What the hell !!! Such an effective setup and the sound is so brilliant. I thought 3 people were involved. Tip-top.

dude you just sonic youthed in one sitting as one individual person.  incredible!

ZIRAFA IS BACK!

had no idea you were doing this again smile

beautiful, great idea too

Gorgeous, dreamy. I wouldn't have guessed the process if not for the description and picture.

Great work. I think it has been every drummers secret dream to be able to make the guitarist redundant.

nice!!

what a gorgeous guitar!  this piece is lovely!
