The 11,426 mile recording session - Day 30ish

This post could easily be a moan about procrastination.  It's taken four weeks to actually get started. The thing about working in opposite timezones is that far from having double length days on the weekends, getting together is really hard.

But it isn't a moan, it is a celebration.  At 7am uk time this morning, I was playing my guitar and singing with Ed on the other side of the world.  Gotta love Skype, it was good enough to carry guitar, vocals and chatter. Some minor time lag but then guitarists and bassists get that when they are in the same room.  It really was just like old times 20 years ago.

First job was remembering the structure of the song. Then agreement on arrangement for guide track. Being apart really makes you apply discipline. The photo shows a song chart showing bars etc. I'll build a rudimentary drum track using this. Then we can use that to finalise the arrangement and record the final version.  

I'll post the drum track when it is done and you'll be able to hear how we build the track.

Here's a taster. https://soundcloud.com/dave-id-1/agaog-tasterhttps://soundcloud.com/dave-id-1/agaog-taster
