Mouse
The Knees of Rock
I've had my eye on doing this one for a while and was feeling ambitious so I decided to give it a try. I thought for a long while how I'd handle this one. I don't have a talk box effect and thought about using a wah. There are also many overdubs which I considered. In the end I ended up recording 2 main guitars: one the rhythm parts and the other has various fills and solos.
I didn't end up using a wah for the middle solo and just improvised a few lines with some heavy delay...maybe too heavy lol. In the end I pared things down to spare my computer's CPU as the video would have been tough to render at this length and with more than 2 videos playing simultaneously. That said, I did record a 3rd guitar for some accents during the middle part.
I kept the rhythm guitar reasonably close to the recording although I didn't get too precious with getting all the nuances exact. The lead guitar is mostly just winging it and trying to capture the spirit of the song. To my ears, none of the solos are so distinct that I had to learn them as recorded. There are a few spots I'm sort of "meh" about but at this length and trying to record a single performance, I wasn't up for another take lol. It's a long one so take it into the porcelain office if you're going to be there for a while.
The backing track is another from Karaoke-Version. Given all that's going on, they did a pretty damn good job IMO.
