May guitar session

So we got back to business on the 21st of May. We were supposed to start the wednesday evening before, but Sami got busy, so the plan was changed. We ended up cleaning the bands practise room on wednesday and kicking back a couple of brews. This time the original plan was to do the guitars at the bands practise room anyhow, so it was easier to just stay there for the night. Sami came from Vantaa bright and early, and we kicked ourselves up at about the time he arrived, so it was straight to business from the morning.

This was the first time we had recordings in the middle of the week, but as the thursday was a national holiday, we decided to use it for the project. Normally the guys would have had work on a thursday, but this was an exception. So our team consisted of Sami, me, Peb and Tero. As we only had one day, we decided to take care of as many guitar tracks as possible. The guys played really good like usual, and there actually isn't that much to tell about. Three songs, Riverhome, Thistle Pillow part II and Pouring Stairs from a Bottle, were handled if i remember correctly.

Again Peb amazed me atleast, by whipping out an old telecaster and a slide tube, and did a close to brilliant solo for Pouring Stairs. I had the initial though down, but didn't quite know how to end it yet, so we left that to simmer until next time. We used about 7 hours, for two guitars on three songs, so it was decent. And after that we needed to hurry, as we were leaving to see Lynyrd Skynyrd with P the same night at Helsinki.

The next meet is planned on 17.-19. of July, and hopefully we'll get the rest of the stuff done then. Two more songs are still lacking guitars and then there's the vocals. Knowing these guys though, me might not even need the whole weekend. Missing a note while singing doesn't seem to be something to worry about. Waiting eagerly for it.
