Attendees: Nick, Sal, Jason and I, with no guests. We had quite a debate at the beginning regarding our set up, trying to avoid feedback while simultaneously trying to make our situation more recording-friendly. The results worked, but cost us a fair amount of practice time.
Highlights: Sal trying a harmony on "Hotel Yorba" rather than singing unison, as he's done before, and getting it right from the second try on. Nick singing lead on "Dani California" and the group as a whole getting closer yet to getting the timing right on the chorus. "Low" working out pretty well from the start, as has been the case for the last couple of new songs we tried.
Lowlight: "She's Electric" just not working out this session for some reason, even though it had been one of our best songs for the last half dozen sessions or so. None of us is sure why. Jason thinks it might have been something different he was doing on drums.
I tried my new Ashbory bass in a group setting for the first time, and it was awesome. My original intent was to play it for one or two carefully selected songs, and I ended up playing it for half a dozen or so, including "Psycho Killer", for which it had a perfect sound. Good reviews from the other band members as well.
Next session will be in two weeks again, which is a Good Thing, though we may not have Sal due to family reasons.
