diskwave Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 This thread is a nice read and reminds me why I don't do it anymore....best of luck with it...you need a lot of staying power to make it happen, a successful band who stick at it is a knife edge balancing act.

AndyTravis Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share Posted July 23, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be a tough choice if Mike does well. It's Frusciante vs Klinghoffer. Just listened to both recordings back to back and they are both great IMO. I'm looking forward to hearing how Mike does at his audition 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 (edited) I popped the two tracks into Reaper, panned 'em 35% Left & Right; they make complementary sense when playing 'together'. Even the 'wah' finds its place..! There's definitely 'space' for two guitars of that ilk. Thanks for sharing.

He’s awesome in that super chilled, laidback Mediterranean way. Nice guy. I just had another listen (those funky bass grooves have me hooked)... I reckon you are on to something with getting them both. I really like what Mike did in the second half of the track but he's very much sitting back in the mix and supporting. Maurizio however was very present with his solo's and layering. They could complement each other nicely. @Dad3353can you share that mix of the two together? My only thing with Maurizio's take is he's obviously taken a lot of inspiration from the Chili's. The first part of the track had me thinking of One Hot Minute and the 2nd Stadium Arcadium.

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 Edited July 24, 2020 by AndyTravis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Having 'rough'-mixed them, it now seems strange listening to either one; the other seems to be 'missing', now..! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share Posted July 23, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maurizio's lead guitar is not that good, but he's got good ideas an I really liked everything apart from the lead. Mike is very interesting too and sounds really solid. What a nice problem to have!

His lead feels like it’s been lifted from ‘Parallel Universe” off RHCP live at Slane Castle DVD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I think you came up with a great riff for the gitwrists to have a play on. Plenty of space for them to install some great licks. They did well, and i think you've found yer men 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did well, and i think you've found yer men 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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
