Bass and most guitar tracks recorded for upcoming single Hearts Fade Away
It’s been a busy few weeks in the studio (and out of it). After successfully recording the drums for Hearts Fade Away, I’ve now laid down the bass tracks and a good portion of the guitar parts as well.
One section of the new song features classical guitar, which for me means relying on fingernails to play properly. Unfortunately, my nails are in rough shape at the moment—two have had splits in them, and my thumbnail broke from the bottom (the result of a mishap involving a dresser and a pickup truck tailgate – don’t ask). That last one is the biggest hurdle, so before I can record this section I need to find a workable solution that lets me play without tearing the nail further every time I hit a string.
Hopefully it won’t take too long to sort out. In the meantime, there are plenty of keyboard parts to rehearse and record, so progress definitely isn’t stopping.
While you’re waiting for the new track, feel free to check out our previous singles and albums—and if you haven’t already, picking up a copy is a great way to support what we’re doing.
