Reso loop (sound demo)
Posted: Sat Feb 23, 2013 12:55 pm
Well the recording King Resonator has been converted to lefty
She gave me quite a bit of a struggle
When I removed the strapholder + screw on the back of the guitar in order to be able to remove the tailpiece, without me noticing a little piece of wood must have come detached ( wood is there to give the strap screw some material to hold on to :)
I didn't notice so I got on with the job, I removed the cone cover, turned the cone 180 degrees and refitted the cone cover with all of it's screws.
After that I put on some new .12 Elixir strings, Vincent my sone fetched for me
Since I didn't have a blank topnut I decided to first adjust the current nut's slots to the new string order.
Well, job done, so I took the guitar of my workbench and... kloink.. strange sounds from the innerworkings of the guitar.
Wel to cut a long story short with a little torch I looke and saw the piece of wood grinning deep down inside
Since I was fed up for that moment, I used tuned the guitar and played a little.
While still fighting a heavy flu, I had neglected for some 3 days because of ugent matter @ work, I took my time to undo the parts again and reglue the wood.
It's done by now.
Feeling a bit better, I recorded a quick loop with some picking stuff ( A, E7, Fm7,D ( and in stead of the D some Cm7s for sound color))
After that I trew it in the all familiar loop and threw some lead notes over the loop.
Picked the least bad parts and uploaded it here :)
@ mic's used, a Shure PG57 and a Shure SM57 some 25 cm apart 40 CM away from the guitar. left one (PG57) pointing towards the cone and the SM57 towards the F-holes.
I'd better keep in mind not to move much while standing and recording
Not real blues or even slide/reso style of playing, but hey... that's me
