[1] Titled: 1 - 100113 a inst - in audio below
practice begining bass
Tom, Cliff and Mark. Working on a bass line.
practice with vox melody idea
Fleshing out the idea for the song. Tom tries out a vocal idea.
Tom sang a log held out note pattern and after cliff had played his bass part for a while shook his head and did a "btbtbtbt" sound and Tom liked it and tried it as part of a background vocal part
[2] Titled: 2 - 100113 a vocal - in audio below
practice withe vox brbrbrb
Tom tries a verse A/B part with a "brbrbrbr" vocal effect.
For a chrous type part Tom suggested Cliff play a walking down part of his bass line
[3] Titled: 3 - 100113 chs 1 - in audio below
practice bass guitar excerpt
Cliff tries a walking down bass part for verse to chorus.
Mark accedentally played a high note during the picking part and we thought he should keep it for a nice accent to the part
[4] Titled: 4 - 100113 chs 2 - in audio below (guitar finger picking all the way through)
practice finger pick
This is the finger pickin' version Mark did. And to note Cliff did the "brbrbr" I referred to on the vocal idea again here because of the finger callus the bass line was causing him.
