Long story … as short as possible … 🤘🏼💀🎸

This song and this Guitar mean a lot to me, the song because my Dad used to love it, he didn’t speak English but he was always amazed by the “dramatic” vocals, so I wanted to dedicate this song to Him, wherever His soul may be in the vast Universe, always present and protecting us. The Guitar means a lot because it was given to me on my first Father’s Day (2018), at that point my son was 8 months old (now he’s almost 8 y/o), and I decided to outline our 3 hands (Wife’, Son’ & Mine) at the back of the Guitar (that BTW I show at the end of the song 😁), this Guitar is the 3rd and last of my “everyday workhorses”, and the most representative. About the Guitar: Gibson Les Paul Faded T 2017 Worn Cherry, maple top and neck, mahogany back, rosewood fretboard. Neck Pickup: 490R Humbucker, Bridge Pickup: 490T Humbucker, Slim Taper Neck Profile. About the song: Standard tuning. Pretty straightforward, the Chords: G – B – C – Cm (although, I didn’t use Cm, I think I’m not experienced enough yet to fit it in the song being busy with EFX changes, but I will figure it out eventually). This song is more built “around the drum and bass” the Guitar is slightly more at the back of the arrangement to let the voice come forward, it was an interesting track to study and learn (on the guitar and the actual structure of the recording itself). The EFX: Glitz Reverb, Chorus, 60’s Bias Tremolo a Simple Delay and a Ganymede Reverb to hold or “freeze” the notes coming out of distortion into clean Guitar, this effect is not in the original track, I added it as a “personal touch transition”, BTW, this time I recorded the track to my DAW and has pretty much no editing to the original sound only a compressor for the MAINS. I hope you like the final product, I will keep sailing my way to try to master the Guitar one day. Rock & Roll! 🤘🏼💀🎸
