Recording your guitar playing

Posted on | | No Comments


It’s necessary to get yourself some kind of recorder so you’ll have an of idea about what your efforts on the guitar sound like. Recording your guitar playing is a relatively simple affair these days as this reminiscence from the ’60’s shows:
“The first time I dabbled with recording was in about 1962 on a Grundig stereo reel to reel, the one with the little bar shaped green light in the middle for monitoring the signal. I used to mess about just recording myself singing with an Eko Ranger acoustic guitar. Then I met a pal who also had a Grundig reel to reel. We recorded ourselves singing and playing John Henry, and other songs. Then put the condenser mike from the one tape player on the floor next to the speaker and then played again adding harmonies, and other bits of lead guitar and used the second recorder to tape the live playing and the play back of the other machine. My first experience of multi-tracking and I still have the recordings (now saved on digital media) to prove it. You can imagine how many times we did it to get a balance. Then of course there was no punch in facility either so it was all one take stuff. Boy did we make some mistakes. You can imagine the air was blue after making a mistake almost at the end of the song and having to do it all over again. But it was great fun and I learned allot. From then on I was bitten by the recording bug.”
