I've been on fire with the creativity lately while I wait for my vocalist to finish his vocals on Stairway -- writing tons of songs on both guitar and keyboard.  Here's a shot of my setup in studio A (last night/tonight) - solstice inspired goodness.  I did this one old school with my SM57 and my Boogie, and I ran the slave into my interface and some impulses (speaker/cab sims) and blended the two -- sounded great so this really opens up some options for me.

After the "Stairway" Cover (almost done) I've been on a real songwriting kick of late - just inspired to play etc... Working with a friend doing some collaborative stuff -- in the middle of that session/workshop (he's in Toronto, I'm in Vancouver) I got all inspired on my own and this one song just poured out of me - words and music in about 2 hours.  So in the midst of everything while we were swapping tracks back and forth I tracked this demo of the new song on my own (which I will now re-record). It features me on everything including vocals and my Hamer as the main guitar, with a second guitar (Fender Lead II) in Nashville Tuning, and my Lead III playing a slide part.

For me the best part of the session was that instead of using amp sims via Guitar Rig Pro I mic'd the Boogie and also ran the slave out into the interface and used some impulses (cab simulations) for that signal and blended the two.  There's just no feeling like pushing air through a real amp.

The song is called "The Reckoning" and has that universal theme of being wronged by a woman and carrying on with life knowing that the Reckoning will come! (cough cough - my first-wife, cough cough...)  Here's a link to the MP3 in a dropbox folder. -- it's just a demo but It's fully realized here. I post it just for fun in this form.
