This is Hector and Achilles, composed, arranged, mixed and recorded in about two and one half hours. It’s GarageBand with the gutar recorded via microphone through LabSeries solid state amplifier. the guitar is an early 70’s SG with strings that need to be changed. Some of the sounds were jacked from GarageBand extension packs obtained through bittorrent.

That’s not my guitar, but its very similar to the instrument that was used to create this 2 minute jam (Notice the Funk 49 reference at the beginning – not intentional). More important than the guitar, however, is the fact that this represents a good solution. After work, basically no time to work on composing, but I had a real need to rock out. So, I just hooked up to Guitar Rig and ran that, not as a plug-in, but rather as a stand-alone. It’s got a recorder that let me get down some ideas very quickly. I wouldn’t try to merge these into a Logic project, but at least the ideas have been taken down quickly and cleanly. I also have to compliment the folks at Native Instruments who made the guitar sound pretty realistic.
