Tools I Used

A Fender Telecaster plugged into a Boss GT-6, a piano, a Fender P-Bass, and a kick drum.

Samples I Used

dm_unreal's blues riff in A at 80 bpm and panu's "Three Poems."

Original Samples

A Telecaster playing a sharp lead, a piano tinkling away, a kick drum, and a bass part.

Process

I basically just sat down and played it, starting with the kick drum. I had tried setting Paul's guitar to a click track, but it wouldn't work, as it isn't perfectly 80 bpm. So using a sense of feel, I stitched it together the way I thought it might sound good.

Since there was nothing electronic I could hook onto like a click, I just banged a kick drum to the beat, and then played everything onto the track.

Other Notes

I hit a remixing block a week ago - did 3 or 4 failed remixes. I snapped it last night, and well tonight? That was just for fun.
