Redneck Recording Process
How do you record a song? Hmm, well that’s easy. It’s easy if you follow the three steps, of the Redneck Recording Process. First we jam or play what we feel like playing. Jamming is a very unstructured thing. Jamming usually consists of playing the old “guit-fiddle” or (guitar by its normal name), having a good time, watching movies and talking shop. Second we take the song we wrote and set up the Rednek Recording Studio (, Misspelled on purpose.) And finally we’ll put it on to tape. Mix it, master it, and finally burn it to CD. This makes it easier to sell. So now lets record “Brew Drinkin-Hell Raisers” to tape.
The first step in the Redneck Recording Process is to jam out. My friend comes over and we just start playing. After about thirty minutes to an hour of playing and shop talk we usually have a riff (Musical Melody for the guitar) to work off of for the song. Most of the time this will end up being the bridge or the chorus. After the riff is placed in the song. Well start working out the other parts of the song. Because were both guitarists we’ll figure out the other parts of the song later. After another fifteen to forty minutes we basically have the song’s guitar parts and vocal melodies worked out. When hitting out the vocals, I usually like to Shoot from the hip. So Chris plays the riff while I start singing words. This part is usually pretty funny cause like Ozzy Osbourne; I usually just sing random words. Sometimes it takes three hours other times it takes three days. After we’ve got the Melody, I’ve usually got a basic idea were the lyrics are going. It usually takes me some time to get down some lyrics that work for the song. Ok now that the guitars and vocals are worked out, well take the song to the bass player. He listens awhile to the song gives us some ideas, Then he makes the bass lines for “Brew Drinkin-Hell Raisers". Then the drummer does the same. After all the parts are finished. We will re-hearse “BDHR” until we have it down right.
