Hey Friend,
I thought today we’d take a little break from chords and exercises and have some fun.
First off, a little history lesson… well, more like a gear history lesson.
This was an important album in that The Beatles had stopped touring and could devote all their time to writing, recording and experimenting. They had full access to all the studio resources Abbey Road provided and no limitations, creatively or financially.
Guitar World made some videos available in their article, so if you want to spend some time learning about why Sgt. Pepper was ground-breaking, there’s plenty of opportunities. I swear I could probably sit all day watching this stuff!
You get insight into the recording process and how many of the techniques used today in the studio came from these experimental sessions.
I really get into articles like this and enjoy learning about how artists, engineers and producers create the sounds we hear on our favorite songs. When I open my recording software and look at all the controls available, it’s very intimidating.
Most of the time I jump in to produce the exercises with some presets that I know work, but if I start exploring, its not long before I need to pull out a manual.
These digital audio workstations have become so comprehensive that you almost need outside help to make sure you don’t miss the capabilities.
Another fun article and video is going to allow you to put your Rock horns on and learn some AC/DC riffs.
We all recognize the opening guitar on Hell’s Bells and Back in Black, but those are just two of the over 170 songs the band has recorded on 16 studio albums.
It’s Friday, so check these out, get lost in a little Beatles history and AC/DC riffage, and have a rocking’ day!
Peace~
Dave
