my wife and i have had a Christmas band, Yuletide Fondue, since before we even started dating. Here's a cover of the Ventures, "We Wish you a Merry Christmas". It's pretty much note for note, but all in good fun. —https://www.facebook.com/Timmymartymooney/ Last edited: Dec 14, 2013 13:13:22 |

Atomic Mosquitos never recorded a holiday song but I did write one for a local children's hospital CD just a year before we got together. It's just me and my love of elves! https://soundcloud.com/atomic-mosquitos/elves-of-the-world-unite |

I just finished recording Silent Night https://soundcloud.com/chris-vee-1/silent-night It's the first recording i've posted. I wanted to learn how to use Garage Band, so i chose this song in the spirit of the holidays to start with. The arrangement is pretty straight forward. I played with a few ideas but this is what i ended up with... mistakes and all! I will probably go back and remix / master it a bit more... i didn't spend any time doing that yet. |

Cool stuff we really ought to put a holiday comp together. My all time fave is still Chet Atkins Christmas album. Electric guitar on side A and classical guitar on side B. Been playing his version of "Jingle Bell Rock" and "Winter Wonderland" every year since the late sixties. I sure can't come close to matching his performance but I love his arrangements and approach. I've even thought about dropping some of those Gretsch "amazingtron" pickups into my 355. Best of both worlds. ed —Traditional........speak softly and play through a big blonde amp. Did I mention that I still like big blonde amps? |

Probably more old spaghetti western than surf, what I visualized when taking this to my buddy's studio in nashville were Cowboys driving cattle on the beach at midnight in a bad 60s western. http://www.thenocturnebrain.com |

Hey Tavo, i used my TVL Jazzmaster for all the guitars. Basically 3 guitar tracks. 1. middle position with a Nocturne Dyno Brain, Nocturne NailHead Tremolo, Corbon Copy delay. 2. bridge position, Nocturne Billy Brain, Nocturne NailHead Tremolo, Corbon Copy delay. 3. Middle position Nocturne Billy Brain, Corbon Copy delay. Also a boss '63 fender reverb on those tracks. The pre amps were set just a touch over unity, just enough to bring the guitars to life. The bass is a Mustang RI CIJ. Tavo i like your holiday song a lot. As with the rest of your music, really good stuff! There are a lot of great songs posted in this thread... really enjoyable listening! |
