My guitar playing live and in the studio
Currently we’re recording vocals and guitar for the new Schaltkreis CD. I find it interesting that my guitar playing in the studio is quite different from my playing in the rehearsal room.
In the studio I tend to focus on precision, polishing melody lines but losing spontaneity. In the live room I play wilder and more uninhibited especially when we are playing together through the whole live set. We record eight tracks simultaneously on the MacBookPro via the MOTU UltraLite interface.
Although I make more mistakes I prefer the live feeling, especially as I can still cut and paste the best parts for the CD…
