Hopeful tracks for playlist
Hey there! Hope you all are doing well. I have a new album releasing in a couple weeks and I'm working on putting together a Spotify playlist to help promote it a bit. It will have some of the singles from the album that are already released as well as some other tracks that fit the vibe of the album. I would love to include as many guitarwavers as I can, so if any of you have tracks that you think would fit, please send them my way! For a bit more context, the album is titled "Becoming Human Again", and it's themed around the idea of finding healing and hope after difficult situations. Feel free to go ahead and check out my songs that I've added to the playlist already to get an idea of the sound as well: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3fHVe3mI61RmApO92b0KD7?si=7e6bfd7352bc49ae Can't wait to hear what you all have. :)

What a beautiful idea, @Kayla Beggs! A little hope is something we can all use these days. Your songs are wonderful, and "hopecore" is the perfect name for this playlist. Going by the title alone, I would pick "There Is Hope in the End" from my catalog, but that one is pure acoustic guitar: https://open.spotify.com/track/5pZtLv1zjpkwa5cmG7wnoW?si=3bbdac79a0784712 In terms of sound and its optimistic feel, I'd suggest "Light Years Away": https://open.spotify.com/track/2WDxHsW5OqJEyEC5ZfjJQG?si=0b6b525287fa4635 I'd be happy to be part of the playlist 🎸😊

Thanks so much, Kayla! All the best with the album. Proud to be the very first follower of the playlist 🙂
October 2026 releases
This week my Release Radar was full of new music from guitarwavers, so here is the next round-up. "minouski" by @Sebastian Jautschus: Once again great sound design, with interesting layers and textures. You just float along. https://open.spotify.com/track/0AfFLupRaWuBhOKczvRqxR "We Had Everything" by Friend from Work/@Peter Monrad: A song that feels like a journey, and those swell sounds are wonderful. https://open.spotify.com/track/5gxc3SgUKEnzNq7ZXakNEW "Before You Arrived" by @Nathaniel Graham and @Rebecca Mardal: I had been waiting for this collaboration 😊 Congratulations on a beautiful track! https://open.spotify.com/track/5PD0l2qxxAvXD9Gw8fZkFT And today I released "The Widest View", an acoustic piece I wrote this summer in the Austrian Alps, below the 'Wilder Kaiser': https://open.spotify.com/track/4VqoYaPQqxomZUWv6Jvt10 This time I tried something new alongside the release. I separated the stems of the track and built a small listening page around them. You look through a telescope at the mountain panorama, and two guitars are hidden somewhere in the view. On a phone, the telescope follows as you move it, so you can simply turn around until you find them. Best with headphones 🎧 https://widestview.chasingreverbs.com/inside/ Feel free to add to the list if you put something out too 🎸

Thanks a lot, Max! I just listened to “Summer Rain”: It's a wonderful composition - light and optimistic, yet harmonically complex. The guitars sound great, and I love the cover, too.

Yeah, the call was a lot of fun, and wow—it’s already on Spotify so quickly! Thanks so much for the summary and for uploading it, Sebastian. I hope you didn’t have to manually edit all those cuts because of my trouble finding the right words 🙈
A couple of questions about (re)posting and strings
Hey guys. Hope creativity is flowing all around the community. I have a couple of questions... 1) Do you ever repost a reel or TikTok-video perhaps with a different caption if you feel like it was ment to get more likes and interaction? If so do you delete the old one or just post it again? 2) What time of day do you post videos to get most views. I usually post around 20 pm (Danish time), but think maybe it should be earlier? 3) Does anyone use flatwounds on their guitars? I have a friend here in Copenhagen with flat wounds on his guitar and all the squeaks from the strings are completely gone which does seem pretty nice. Lastly I just want to say specifically to @Sebastian Jautschus that his track 'tomorrow' is such a pleasure to listen to. So many interesting ping pong delays, panning, tremolo panning ?, normal delays, noises and so on. Would love to see a breakdown of that sometime.

Hi @Peter Monrad, I can't speak from personal experience on points 1 and 2, but on point 3: I bought a Fender Bass VI about two years ago, and during my first recording sessions I found the string noise (e.g. during slides) much too loud and distracting. A bassist friend of mine then told me about flatwounds, so I got a set and put them on. The feel was strange at first (like playing on a clothesline), and the sound is noticeably duller and less metallic, but all the background noise is completely gone and I'm very happy with the result. If you want to hear the sound, "Homecoming" is a good example: https://open.spotify.com/track/5kVwkzqohWBhFDIB9cLDHZ?si=24cd97b2cc4f4b11
Tremolo Plug-in | The Great Escape (free)
Hi guitarwavers, @Sebastian Jautschus recently talked about tremolo stacking, which made me revisit the topic as well. I do have a tremolo on my pedalboard, but I hadn’t really found a plug-in version that felt convincing to me. While looking for a harmonic tremolo, I came across this free one by Musical Entropy called 'The Great Escape.' It sounds rather organic than clinical and has a few interesting features: - The speed reacts to playing intensity - You can trigger a second tremolo - Overall it behaves quite dynamically instead of being purely static I’ve attached a short example below (tremolo slightly exaggerated for demonstration) from a new song I’m currently working on. Might be interesting for anyone exploring movement and depth in clean tones. Here’s the link: https://www.musicalentropy.com/TheGreatEscape.html

Thanks a lot, @Jon-Erik Gretland, glad you like the sound, and no problem at all, happy to share my gear and setup 🎸 With that clip I'm honestly not sure anymore which guitar I used. Depending on the song I go for a Gibson ES-330, a Music Man Silhouette, or my Real Guitar (a Tele style guitar built by a local luthier near Cologne). For recording I keep it pretty simple. I use a Universal Audio amp sim ("Ruby", an AC-30 clone) and, as needed, ambient pedals: the Strymon Nightsky, which you can hear in the clip above, and/or the Microcosm by Hologram or the Mood by Chase Bliss. The pedals go into the DAW (Logic in my case) via a Scarlett interface. From there I add plugins as needed, things like compression, delay, or other reverb. I also walk through my signal chain briefly in this YouTube tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nb7eeWsGSWc&t=113s

@Jon-Erik Gretland Thank you and you're very welcome, happy to help. I've never regretted buying the Ruby. Since I now play entirely with in-ears in my bands, I use it for every rehearsal as well. That said, nothing beats the sound of a real tube amp (I like to use a Vox AC10 when playing live). As for "Two Takes": the name came to mind when I decided to record an electric version of the song in addition to the acoustic one. Two takes of the same song. It has nothing to do with the number of takes recorded, though. If that were the case it would have to be called "200 Takes" 😄
