| Some good points... I think part of what im referring to involves differences in taste as to what makes up a good take. To me, the best take is not always the one where every note is right on beat. The guitarist who i was working with last nite is an amazing player.. She does some outstanding lead stuff, (AP magazine named her the "Runner up best guitarist of the year in 2008" after Omar Rodriguez of the Mars Volta....) WOw! ANwyay, shes also a friend of mine, and it was overall a fun session....
i noticed more than a few times, that what i thought was a great take, she would want to redo, just to put something down that i didnt think sounded as good. Maybee every note was a bit more pronounced, but it didn't have the natural feel or flow that the take before it had. And i told her that i thought so, often to a bewildered look..... In the end i left it up to her.....
I understand that sometimes it takes time to get the take you like, particularly when you have a vision in your head of what it is supposed to sound like.... (which she obviously does... But i also understand (from personal experience within my own music, and from working with her and hearing her last record...) that sometimes people can be too picky for their own good..... |
