CBC came to the house yesterday to film a story. Turns out the camera man is a guitar player. He was intrigued by the Godin midi guitar and Roland synth module. After the filming and while Erin Moore got ready to leave, we jammed for a minute. ‘I real like the sound of that guitar. Keep playing.’
As I get used to how different the guitar is to play and the various sounds, this setup is growing on me. Practicing with headphones allows you to hear exactly what the guitar – synthesizer mix sounds like. Sometimes more is better sometimes less. Each song has different settings. Sometimes it sounds distorted which might be a miss-match between my playing and the patch.
On a Chet Atkins laser disc he sings a nostalgic song about his father ‘I Just Can’t Say Goodbye’. The song will bring a tear to the eye. Obviously I’m not Chet Atkins but I can finger pick the song. With ‘Nashville Strings’ as the synth patch, it almost sounds like Chet on the disc. Tres cool.
