    Default Renman recording from 1988

    Wow, you are in for a smile this time!

    >> 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.

    Ok, the 777 gave me all the clues I needed... lol

    Great recording, very good quality for a porta recording!

    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?
