Thanks for good feedback!
The lack of bite could probably be attributed to the pretty old strings I use due to my current reggae gig
I tend to like them more and more though, and I actually don´t miss that "clancy" sound anymore. I´m going more for the deep groovin´ sound. (If you can say that a sound is groovin, hehe)
And btw, the backingtrack is actually a sketch for a song we play in my new band. The keyboard guy (wich by the way is only 16 years old!) wrote it and gave me this track in order to make a line. We´re going in studio next week to record it fully!
It´s so cool playing electric again, after focusing only on the upright and jazz for a year. I´d forgotten how fun it was
I must say, though, that recording myself was a big letdown. My first take on this one was terrible. I realised that I actually had to concentrate really hard on playing tight, in order to make it groove.
I also realised that right now I´m wrighting you a bloody essay
