Three and a Third

Robert James

Probably the most ambitious idea I had for RPM2018 which is probably why it got dropped. That and the simple fact that it’s the worst vocal I’ve ever recorded.

The idea was to write three short songs and stitch them together into one big song. Did it work? Eh. Sort of. I don’t think it was the last vocal I recorded on my epic vocal recording day, but it did mark the moment when my voice stopped cooperating.

Rhythm guitars are Les Paul through a Vox MV50 direct out. Leads are ES 335 through both the Vox MV50 and the Bassbreaker 15 (in stereo! WOOHOO!) direct out.
