Introducing the Newest Addition to My Musical Arsenal

So, like I mentioned in the last post, I now own an Epiphone Les Paul Standard guitar. As you can see from the picture, it looks pretty cool, but what matters is how it sounds, so I put together a quick test recording. This is the main chord progression from "Lounge Pirate" (an original song I posted a couple months ago), featuring five tracks of Les Paul (two rhythm tracks each with the neck pickup and bridge pickup, and one lead track with the neck pickup) using the Marshall JCM 2000 model in the PODxt. I also added a bass guitar track for more low end. Check it out:

LP Test

I think it sounds decent considering the fact that I just threw it together in about an hour and had to compress it a bit to make it small enough to upload (trust me, it sounds even cooler with my custom equalizer settings in iTunes). However, that's not all. I'm home until January 15, which means that for the next couple weeks, I still have access to my drumset and my dad's recording equipment. Expect some higher quality stuff to be posted soon.

Rock on.
