Cissy Strut - The Meters (guitar cover)

Community Recordings Audio-Video Of You Playing
1

Looking for guitar instrumentals to cover seeing as I cannot sing :sweat_smile:
This has always been a firm favourite.

Not too happy with the tone, I know things always sound different when listening back to yourself but as I was playing it there was a lot more bite in the high end of the stabs, they kind of get lost in the mix in the final product and are a bit “quacky”. Finding that tone is now becoming one of my big gripes when doing these videos, so any pointers welcome. Maybe its all in the hands!

Recorded via my Fender Tonemaster Deluxe Reverb into Reaper with original audio extracted from the song using Moises app.

PS sorry its out of focus alot of the time

I dunno Neil, sounded real good to me!
To say it another way, I ‘liked your tone’. From my end ya were all tuned in.

Really good playing too, ya done very good with this tune.
I’ve no real pointers at all as I liked what you did and it sounded real good to me.
fwiw, them deluxe reverbs sound stellar to me too. They sound like Rock and Roll or perhaps in this case like some funk?

Thanks for sharing. I dig yer gear and I dig your playing.
A enjoyable listen!

Wow thanks for the kind words Jim, glad you liked it!

The tonemaster is really great in the room, with the volume set low and the attentuator set loud with some reverb and tremelo on the clean tone is really lovely. It can break up a bit with the volume up higher (especially with humbuckers) but if into proper hi gain rock stuff, ACDC or harder, a distortion pedal would be required I think.

Handy for recording as it has an XLR out so can go straight to audio interface!

Neil

You’re probably too self-critical: that was a fine performance. If you’re wanting to tweak the set up on the guitar or any of the other gear, to make the recordings sound better or more like what you’re after, you’ll need to start from a ‘benchmark’ set up. If your current recordings are that benchmark it sounds good to me. Look forward to hearing what comes next.

It really doesn’t matter :wink: The music is strongly ‘in focus’, pin-sharp. I like your performance a lot. Great strat sound in both the solo line and funky chords. Great work! :+1:
