Over the weekend Nick and I got together to record the baseline for our original song. This took a lot of preparation because I had to set up garageband and the mics used for recording the bongos. After everything was set up we layed down the baseline and Nick did some soloing over it. The song is not yet complete but we are hoping to work on it this weekend.

Yesterday, in class I worked on solo ideas for the original song wr are doing. This was really fun and kind of new because I had to formulate several licks into one smooth section. I'm still not done coming up with ideas or the solo in general but I've gathered many licks and I am working on putting them together so they sound good along with the song.

Matt Agritelley- Google Project Day 2

Nick and I have narrowed down our song choices to a few select songs that we think will work best for us. Our plan as of now is to play Why Georgia, Rodeo Clowns, Too Close, and come up with our own original composition. However, this plan is subject to change as we will eventually find out how realistic these goals are. In class today I worked on listening closely to the bongo line of Rodeo Clowns, and have a pretty good idea of how to play it. Over the past weekend we recorded the guitar part of Why Georgia, by John Mayer. Nick nailed the takes and it sounds great. A friend of ours, Nick Doering, will be accompanying us with the vocals. We've switched recording programs and are hoping to get the rest of Why Georgia recorded within the next couple weekends as well as start on the other songs. Hopefully as we finish recording our initial takes of Why Georgia, we will be able to get a link up with the rough draft of our song. Stay tuned.

Nick McClurg-Google Day #2-Practice

Over the weekend Matt, Nick Doering and I began the recording for 'Why Georgia' By John Mayer. Although a technologically complicated process, we managed to get the verses, choruses, and bridge done (for guitar at least). We are hopeful that in the next recording session we will be able to accomplish more due to a shift in technology. Today, in class, I worked on practicing the song we will record as our original as wells as Why Georgia, Too Close and Rodeo Clowns. The project is moving along fast and going very well. I'm looking forward to the final results as I believe that they will be outstanding.
