We're running through some tunes with a new bass player at rehearsal ... this was pretty funny, actually, we did a Terrapin the other night, and he plays the turnaround during "Lady with a Fan" differently than our regular bass player and I loved how it sounded but it distracted me and I forgot the words. He goes to a minor, and sure enough listening to some GD versions, Phil would, too. I think I'm so used to how the other bassist does it that it caught my ear.

All this is direct, again, both guitarists using the Fractal AX8. Sounds so clean. Rhythm guitar could be louder in the mix, especially in the beginning.

Yeah its cool how Phil would go to down to the D (as in D minor) then back up to the F. Nice rehearsal. Thanks for posting.

I think all guitar players should learn songs on bass first.That would give them the proper perspective on songs! BTW,that recording was really nice.
