#3 attempt at "Guerrilla Recording"
At some point I remember some posts about a one note challenge or maybe just an idea, anyhow it kinda stuck with me. i wrote this this morning while driving to work. It was recorded in the front seat of my Kia Sportage with my phone using an Android app called Single Track Recorder. It has a mic level to adjust and it shows an Active Input Level which is helpful. Not a great recorder by any means but perfect to get an idea down quickly, and I thought it would be the perfect means to record this dumb song.
 1 track -Takamine G series ( one note a D but probably not a real D) & vocals done live. I added a little chorus and reverb and then mastered it in the Br900. The vocal melody is obviously more than one note but the guitar is just the one.
Just One Note
I can get by with one note
Might not be the best song that I ever wrote
Over top of this note I'll use my throat
& I'll make a melody line
I can get by with one note just fine

There's a guy with just  one eye
& a man, he's only got one hand
We can do without a lot of things
I guess I can do without those other strings & frets
I don't make no threats

I can get by with one note you'll see
I feel confident because there's only one of me
I hope that my effort might make up for what I lack
As I play this song it's recording on one single track
I can get by with one note
that's  a fact

These days I merely dabble at being old and wise.
But I swear, I used to absolutely excel at being young and stupid.

A gutsy and successful experiment. That's what this is.

Just found this gem, pure genius. It's late and I really aught to be hitting the sack, but seriously Bro, this put a massive smile on my face - and deserved a bit fat bump.
