Did I Offend You (2020 Version)
Uploaded .

The first song completed for the second round of re-recorded Quarantine Tunes. This one was written on the last day of the 2016 RPM Challenge. I had written a bunch of songs saying that people who think the Earth is flat are somehow defective and someone actually told me I was being closed minded. Oh, did I offend you? Tough!
This is fun from a guitar stand point because I doubled the rhythm guitar parts, and each of the two takes was through two amplifiers so I have four tracks of rhythm guitars and when you stick ‘em all together it sounds HUGE!! So much so that I kept backing them off in the mix out of fear I was going to get carried away and just drown everything else out. In the end, I might have over done it. I’m not sure yet.
All of the guitar parts, lead and rhythm are Gibson ES-335 Pro through a Dunlop Crybaby Wah, a Klon KTR, a Malaise Forever Black Lives Matter, and both a Vox AC15 and a Fender Bassbreaker 15.
chorus
It looks like I offended you
That wasn’t what I set out to do
but when we get down to it
I don’t really care
Just doesn’t matter
Just don’t care
I don’t care at all
I just don’t care
verse 1
you say
I’ve got it wrong
you say
you knew all along
you know
the way it works
you know
all the right words
Verse 2
you think
that I care at all
you think
that I’m being small
I think
you waste my time
I think
that’s well and fine
outtro
I say what I feel
I say what I mean
If you Don’t like it
Don’t listen

It's not a cocked wah, all of those mids are coming from the Klon pedal. I was a scooped mids guy for 30 years before I finally figured out that if I just boost the mids a little the rest of the band can hear me without me cranking my amp until it hurts. Now I overdo it in the other direction. heh

GEETARS! :) Love the leads... Oh yeah... I think I'd like the rhythm ones louder, but they've got a lot of mids between them, so they probably could drown out the rest. I think we could take a spot more, though... Oh! Just reread the blurb - the rhythms are through a cocked wah? Ah, then you had the same problem as whoever had to mix Blizzard of Ozz, MSG, etc! LOL (I only tried that technique once - bear in mind this was a bluesrock band - my sound engineer went "wtf are you doing!?!? If you keep doing that I'm just turning your fader down..." lol)
