This is the Way it Goes

Robert James

2024 50/90 Challenge song idea number 54 becomes finished song number 56.

I like this one. I should use different rhythm guitar sounds within songs more often. I like the groove here too. Not sure why. Maybe mid-tempo in 7/8 just works for me.

All of the guitar tracks are my Les Paul Custom into my Fender Bassbreaker 15 running direct output. The pedal chain for the clean-ish rhythm tracks was an Earthquaker Devices the Depths into a Klon KTR into an MXR Carbon Copy Mini (the dotted 1/8th delay was added in the mix). The heavier-ish rhythm tracks used the KTR into a Keeley Super Phat Mod into the Carbon Copy. The leads used a Real McCoy Customs RMC10 into a Wren and Cuff Tall Font Russian into the KTR into the Carbon Copy.

This is how it will roll
