I posted a new song over on chaotimusic.com. It is a jazzy ballad about the Reichstag fire that the nazis used to seize real ultimate power in germany.

The progression is one that I’ve been fooling around with for years. I can’t remember how it started, but I know I’ve played it as mood music during the Lords Supper at various points, I also think I may have used it for an assessment during my guitar subject (MUS207).

I actually really like how the song turned out, the acoustic guitar bits are either just me using the “fake acoustic” amp model in my Behringer X V-amp, or from me miking the Tele’O'Doom – that’d be the guitar solo at the start. It wasn’t intentional, I just forgot to switch the input in garageband back from the mic to linein – but it sounded cool so I used it.

I also really love the lead tone in the other parts – that’d be the modeled Vox AC30. It just sounds so tasty.

So…. go get the song. Tell your friends. Learn about history. Hear me play lots of guitar….
