Inside the Hey St. Jude Session

For those of you who aspire to do session work, here's a little view from the inside with some comments. I'd say this is a typical session, but every session is different, and some are very different. In this one we were hired to replace a karaoke track of the original tune that had already been sung over, by various artists, actors, athletes, and other, and edited. This posed some very unique and complex issues which the arranger and engineer handled flawlessly. I played bass, acoustic and electric guitar and even helped out with handclaps. here's my inside look...



Here's the final product...

A Great Little Practice Amp

The Vox Pathfinder 15R

Solid state, but a sick tremolo and a real reverb tank. And power to spare. Could easily use it in the studio. Nice crunch sounds. My son just got one of these and I've been messing with it. I'm ordering one myself. I don't have anything with an eight inch speaker so it will definitely fill a gap. Super light too!

Only $120!!!! (!!!)
