Two New Songs (Heritage Guitar Content)

[TheCheapGuitarist]

I started writing instrumentals a week or so ago. Got two done so far, both are (and the rest will be) spur-of-the-moment compositions. I'm doing a thing now where after I finish one I wipe out all the audio from the DAW and keep everything else as a template for the next song. Hopefully this will eventually result in a collection of songs that sound consistent.....ly bad.





The cover photo is the last guitar I acquired and it's a cool photo but it's a bit misleading, since these songs were done with this. I'm forcing myself to use the center switch position which is my least-favorite on an H-H guitar, but in a way I'm starting to like it.

I love this recording!
Very captivating, and very nice guitar work!!!

What’s the guitar going into? It sounds very good.,

 

[klasaine]

Sounds good to me!
Shades of early Di Meola.

It's the free TH3 software that comes with Cakewalk. Plexi amp model with a Tube Screamer.

That's actually the tone I was going for. Nowhere near the skill though....

None of us are anywhere near that level.

Ha! I have that. I don't use it much.

It's sort of the bare minimum. Oddly, it's the opposite of a digital amp in that the presets (the drop-down on the left) are actually pretty good.

Some are for sure. I’ve been using a Spark Positive Grid lately. I like what I’m getting from it.

I have a Heritage H-140, is that what yours is?
Mine has no pickup covers.
Great songs.

Yeah, it's an '86 H-140. I bought it in '92 and it had an EMG active set in it which sounded great with the large amps I used back then, but when I moved to smaller amps the output was just too high. Now it's a Guitar Madness overwound Alnico II in the Bridge, and a Stew Mac Golden Age neck humbucker.

Mine is also an 86, again great songs.
