>> Renman & Åberg 1988
This is a recording I did on a 4-track Fostex as a teenager back in 1988. My friend Mattias found the recording and decided to email to me yesterday. He played some keyboards on it.
I was completely taken by surprise by getting this! It's really fun for me to get in touch with Mattias again, since I haven't talked to my old friend in probably 10 years or more.
The drums are HILARIOUS - please excuse the terrible drum programming by me
I used an Ibanez JEM - 777 back then (green, with monkey grip) and I think I used a little Zoom to go straight into the 4-track recorder.
Can you tell what kind of guitar players I listened to back then?

Listening to your music, I have learned a few things:
Sweden produces great guitarists. Maybe it's the water?
For 1988, the tones are incredible, and the drumming ain't that bad.
I need to practice more. Or throw my guitars in a wood chipper and give up, or something.
Good stuff, man! I love the harmonies.

Great recording, very good quality for a porta recording!
I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009
Thats pretty wild Robert , i dig it ... gotta love 4 tracks , blasts from the past indeed .. 6S9L

Hey man that was gooten!!! I really like it.
Absolutely amazing Robert. Sounds like you had the beat back them to. Excellent playing and the recording sound very nice for being a “vintage 1988” Robert.
Yes in deed. Sweden does produce some very good guitar players. If it’s in the water … send me a case please.

Robert,
That was fantastic playing, and the composition and arranging are top notch as well. Great stuff. I like the harmonized leads. Did you play those with a harmonizer patch or did you double track those lines?
Great playing.

Thanks guys, it's weird and freaky to hear myself like that - I don't play much like that anymore!
I double tracked those lines - no harmonizer stuff used.
Glad to hear you guys liked that!

Thank you guys for all your comments. Marnold, they are harmonized, but not by a harmonizer box - I recorded one guitar with the main harmony "melody", then recorded another guitar on a different channel with a different harmony, most often a 3rd up of the scale, I think. Been a long time... I was very inspired by Steve Vai back then...
It's cool you guys actually like it... I am mostly embarassed!

Yeah, I should have been more clear. I should have said, "You didn't use a harmonizer?" Since you were in such good time with yourself, I would have suspected a harmonizer. Nothing to be embarassed about there!

That was way cool! Nice to hear those influences. Steve Morse as well maybe?
