The End! “Auditions for The 602...a diary.”
AndyTravis replied to AndyTravis's topic in General Discussion
Yeah. Sounds a bit harsh, but I want the two guys. I always demo stuff with two guitar parts, I always want a keys player...but that’s another headache. Mike seems to use interesting sounds at points like really lo fi plate reverb etc. Which means no need for keys. Edit - this Andy chap really can play. Just not certain I’d get the results and layers I want. While I’m proud of our EP which we did within six months of forming, it feels empty at times. -
Little finishing touches. New full pickup foams fitted (I didn’t take a photo) And little strap button washers...

Sadly underrated singles that should've been much bigger

They do - been very open throughout the process. And if they form their own band...then so be it, most people bore of me quickly -

I’m listening back to the rehearsal from last night, Maurizio did well. And was a nice guy. He also came back first, and seems easy to work with. Meeting Mike on Wednesday. -

Like...a “guitar hero” the guy in the football team who goes for glory and misses rather than passes the ball. -

Well, like proverbial busses... here’s the same track with a nice chap called Andy who’s contact us through join my band. Interestingly - chose similar chords in the first “chorus” to Maurizio. Seems more outwardly proficient - that’s not always a good thing for a band, if you get what I mean. https://drive.google.com/file/d/13tyhv3FYInxBUj2YFSfroCeVuRjeDOR-/view?usp=drivesdk -

Yeah, it was very much pick up a bass and see what happens - the “chorus” is a regurgitated riff from a scrapped idea, the “Verse” was just what i played on the bass to check the levels. the “middle 8” type thing was something in key just to hint that it might be time for a lead part. I sent it to Matt and Max (singer/drummer) and said “will this do?” And off we went. -
Reported - I’ve had to tell people who have spent £1000’s on stuff that their strat/Les Paul/jazz Bass is an Encore/squier/Epiphone before now. There really are some people who aren’t as fortunate as we who cannot spot fakes. The Classic Vibe Squier first run were the most common re-badges.

His lead feels like it’s been lifted from ‘Parallel Universe” off RHCP live at Slane Castle DVD. -

AndyTravis replied to AndyTravis's topic in General Discussion
It’s absolutely mental - they choose to fill completely opposite spaces in the music. and that’s my decision made. towards the end there are 2 bass tracks, and from what my ears tell me 3 guitars. And it all works. -

Wow. Thanks to @Dad3353 for his pure genius. i managed it in GarageBand - didn’t want to mither him. he was kind enough to send me the link - but for pure ease - here’s mine. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_vB7JmwQsp07-WLri82DqhR547D0hdQE/view?usp=drivesdk -

Can you send me that, I’d be really interested to hear it. -
I came to say “Oleta Adams” - @itu beat me to it. ‘I’ve Got A Right’ is a beautiful track.

Do you know - that’s nail on the head. I’ve said to the boys that 2 guitars would work. Have been totally up front tonight with Maurizio. He’s actually excited to work with another guitarist. I want to give mike a fair crack. He makes some interesting choices and I grew to like his version. Played that track (the audition track) tonight and that instant “yes mate!!!” Moment when he kicked in - bearing in mind we haven’t been in a room since March. It was nice to have that buzz. He’s awesome in that super chilled, laidback Mediterranean way. Nice guy. -

Forgot to upload this...this is Mike, different approach. Took me 3 listens to “get” it. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CJ1kqgfjjNvcwtX-R43kuaHuOIaSuXld/view?usp=drivesdk -

Maurizio came to play with us tonight... great guy, gave some good ideas. we have Mike next Wednesday, unfair advantage as we’ll be back in our regular space. actually debating having two guitars...we’ll see. Will be a tough choice if Mike does well.
