I'm sick and tired of hearing myself on guitar. Apparently my friend only wanted me to record one guitar track for one of our songs: the guitar solo.
So after 1 trip to Burger King, 2 breaks, 4 hours, and 49 takes I finally gave him one that's good enough. Although there were still parts that I thought I could have done better.
I'm actually rather proud of myself. Most of those takes were done fighting my own insecurities as well as the expectations of the 4 other guys in the room. My hands were shaking and sweating profusely most of the time, but surprisingly no one mentioned it. It's almost like most of the stress was just in my head.
Seeing how I can't stand to listen to that song again right now, I'm glad I haven't gotten an mp3 of it from my buddy. If I hear certain bends one more time I might scream. But at least **** got his darned guitar solo.
