Lots of pleasant thoughts of my shoogie.

Samples I Used

GarageBand drum loops.

Original Samples

Electric guitar track.
Bass track (software instrument).

Process

Listened to panu's scratch demo a few times. Figured out the chords. Worked out a very similar arrangement, with one or two additional stanzas.

Cut and replicated the choice parts from panu's playing of the acoustic guitar. Added a slightly dirty (i.e. distortion) guitar track, and then a lead guitar. Put in the bass track. Adjusted the mix and mastering.

Other Notes

panu oozes sincerity and heartfelt love. I wanted to retain that. I'd like to think that this is one of my better mixes of panu's.
