After more than a year without guitar (the Ukelele is not the same, really), finally I got a Telecaster; and I love it!
You may think that this is a folk/rock/blues guitar, and actually it is. But I wouldn’t say it’s limited to those genres. Today you can make any guitar sound in any way you want.
This is a quick test with a brit-style amplifier, 25% drive, a plate reverb, and a chorus/flanger. Not bad for the stock single coil pickup. Welcome home!
There’s been some time since the last record of the band. Bah, it’s just me. But this time is different because Alex gave me a pop filter (she’s so nice and cute :*, and I like the pop filter too).
I used to have a competition in my Spanish blog called ‘adivina la canción’ (guess the song), but after the time spent recording the song its name’s so obvious, that isn’t worth it (if don’t know the song, you’re probably from Mars… or don’t have music taste heh).
I must say I’m a very bad singer, and I’m more heavy than post-grunge-somewhat-punkie, so the song sounds different from the original (although the spirit remains the same).
It has been recorded with Ardour with guitar, bass, mic and a little 4 channel mixer. The battery has been tracked with Hydrogen. All together with my shiny Fedora 11, enjoy!
Update: there’s an ogg version of the song, just in case you don’t like Flash.
I have this song in my head since I watched the Simpson’s episode: Lisa’s Date with Density, in which Nelson plays the song with his guitar.
After a little research, it seems it’s a humorous children’s song popular in USA, parody of the Christmas song Joy to the World
.
This is my first try to record *ehm* something since I moved to Fedora, and I’m pleased with the packaged applications: Hydrogen 0.9.4-svn and Ardour 2.8.
Both applications are great and high quality software. It’s a pity I’m not such good musician, but I had fun recording this *ehm* version of the song.
PS: some feed readers won’t show the flash player, so you’re safe because you can’t listen to the song.
