CHAD MACro Photography!

While I was practicing my guitar melody for City Lights, Chad earned himself a spot on the contributing photographers list when he snagged up my camera and applied his signature macro shooting style to some captures of me in the studio. Here are some of his photos.

Back in the studio!!!

How have I not crashed yet while making these video updates. haha

"I'm Not Gonna Chug The Beer"

I have said it before but I'll say it again - it'd be awesome to have someone record our humorous mishaps in a more candid way so moments like this don't happen. haha Attempts to capture something funny never seem to be successful when you're looking for them.

"This Is Kinda a Dumb Video..."

City Lights Practice Run

"Alright...I'm Ready To Do This."

Damn straight, buddy.

"All We Need Is Reassurance"

Stand took a little bit of finagling to get right with its many guitar effect changes, slide operation and crazy note solo work but through some punches, separate track recording and another beer, Mr. Macomber nailed it all and it is simply beautiful! I am "reassured" that this song will be great.

Chad is a musical genius. (yes dude, I admit it. haha)

Candid Camera gone WRONG!

Chad really has nailed his City Lights lead guitar part and it brings the song to life in a big way. Don't mind the messed up solo part, he got it down in later takes and it's great! ***WARNING SPOILER***

(and whoever set up this camera didn't stabilize it that well.....who could THAT be!!?)

July 23rd Stand & City Lights Work

Mr. Macomber came back to the studio on July 23rd to work on his guitar parts for Stand and City Lights. Once again he plowed right through his sections with ease and confidence, leaving a little bit of room for some "improvisation" with City Lights and space for me to overdub my own guitar melody that I have had in mind for the song. Very cool to combine ideas and I'm happy to say that it worked out nicely!

Here are some photos of the night. Of course, I managed to spill beer VERY close to Dave's console. Eeek!
