i\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been sitting on a track called \u00e2\u20ac\u0153stars<\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (4:13 – 3.9 MB) since about january and i thought i\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d take a minute and post it in the hopes that it will spark my desire to get back into writing about tunes and what i\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m doing in the studio.<\/p>\n

part of my backstory on this is that for my birthday i managed to wrangle not one but two guitars. you can hear the 12 string that my wife and son got me in the background. i\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve decided that the full, scrubbing acoustic sound that i\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve always wanted was simply a 12 string. with it in my arsenal now, i feel that i have a much thicker sound that doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t lack that extra sparkle that i really like. so it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the best of all worlds. now if i could only learn to use fingerpicks so i could play it finger style. but i doubt it.<\/p>\n

the other coolio instrument i got was an ibanez hollow body electric. i wanted a nice, clean jazz sound and i spent a good deal of time at the devil\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s store (which will go unnamed) trying this, that and the other. i ran the gamut from gibsons down to…well…craptastic epiphones. after going back and forth the punk kid at the counter asked me what i wanted. i told him and he said \u00e2\u20ac\u0153you need to try this ibanez.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d i told him that i don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t usually go for the ibanez brand and he said \u00e2\u20ac\u0153i hear that from a lot of guys your age.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d punk. kid.<\/p>\n

the worst part was that he was right. a fantastic instrument for not a lot of cash. i really dig it.<\/p>\n

so for “stars”, i just started playing the 12 string for the baby. he likes to rock out and strumming really does it for him. the track is about 4:13 and that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s mostly because it needed to be long enough so he wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t fuss. i will probably cut it down and get a better drum track. but as it stands, i finally got to do my one track with I – vi – IV – V – I and a 30 second fade out at the end for good measure. two cliches i really enjoy in one track. who could ask for anything more?<\/p>\n

i hope you enjoy it. leave me a comment if you feel like it.<\/p>\n
