Recording Alive and Alone - day 4

Better progress today. Took yesterday off to think about it (and do some work that pays for my house) and then ripped in today. Got the following in the can:

1. The rest of Simplicity
2. Home Free
3. Raindrops (that took a while to figure out)
4. Somebody Else's Skin
5. Spider
6. Most of Red Hot

That only leaves Devil's Highway, When the Angels Came, and She Don't want Your Love left to record. I have no idea how I'm going to play She Don't Want Your Love.

I think I'm getting the hang of the guitar-only approach. I listen to what's on the original version and try to idetify places where the guitar and vocals don't match. I then have to make a decision as to whether to change the guitar part or the vocal phrasing - that's not an easy call to make. There's usually a little experimentation with the new guitar against the old track and then I try to sing a different vocal over the new guitar part. Not sure that's efficient, but it seems to have improved things.

Anyhoo, more tomorrow and we'll see how all of this pulls up ...
