Surprise, surprise. No cajon in this track! I was playing with the 'Newgrass' band in Rocksmith and was surprised how the 'dynamic' band was fairly stable in their rhythms. The band is supposed to be changing based on what you play (a jamming mode in the software if you will) so when I started riffing my own tune it kept repeating the same thing between different sessions. So I thought why not let the virtual band be my backing track! And to my surprise it turned out pretty well. I practiced this tune maybe 5 times and then finished the recording. Unfortunately I could not completely mute the percussion. So recording a cajon on this track seemed a little redundant. So I had to abandon my cajon for this track. I am thinking I will make up for it in the next track by recording my cajon first and then add rhythm by guitar over it. Will be interesting.
Anyway when I was playing this 'Newgrass' band, the bass line and the banjo sounded familiar made it sound like a twist song, hence the name. The bass line in fact is very similar to one of my favorite Tamil songs (from 1964!) which is here:
Here is my track:
I did not do a lot of processing. Only some background noise removal filters. This was a very organic riff. If you listen closely, you can actually hear some mishit notes. But who cares :P ? Or maybe I am just getting a little lazy.. Again just wanted to re-emphasize that only the lead guitar notes are mine. Others are provided automatically by Rocksmith. I am not THAT much a multi-instrumentalist yet ;)
