Title: "Find, Undermine & Sabotage" a Hook original
Post by: Hook on October 15, 2016, 09:29:21 AM
Been working on this over the last week. I used both new electric guitars & some danelectro boutique pedals & a Morley mini wah. As much as I really love my Blackstar, I wanted something that I could record . There are clean tracks played on the Tele &   distorted/wah tracks on the Strat. I did put the bass through the blackstar & the percussion is the roland handsonic. Those were recorded on the DP24/ rough mix and over to the BR80. I did the 2 vocal tracks (both stereo) in the car and then put it all back on the DP24 for mixing & mastering.
Find, Undermine & Sabotage[written & performed by Hook/song
Where could this future lead
How much does this present matter

I find myself
undermine myself
Choose to sabotage myself

Mistakes are made to learn from
So I keep on making mistakes

I love the wah. I love the looseness; that it's not tied down tightly to a click track or drum track is a pleasant change. And the lyrics provide good advice.

I'd hate to live my life paralysed into inaction by fear of making mistakes.

I was thinking more Eddie Harris for some reason. "Bad Luck Is All I Have" is one of my favorite albums, and although this tune is a lot different I feel a similar vibe.

Really love what you have been posting lately bro.

Well formed by its lack of form.  Love the wah.  The lyrics seem to grab me and make me slow down to catch what's going on.  The Strat, like the backup vox, provides a nice counterpoint.

You know your way around those pedals, dude.  Well done.

Wah is cool and all guitars have a nice essence. Love the way you set this up being a little disjointed but it blends so well. Wicked vocal fx and inventive percussion. Great listen!
