Walking through the summer – music by wolbai
I think the chord progression is well made for a ballad: a lot of half tone steps can be played with bendings and vibrato on top of it.
Wanted to squeeze out as much of emotions out of one single note.
All in all it is a challenge to generate a proper intonation in a recorded guitar ballad: you merciless hear any wrong intonation (with bendings and vibrato). But this also forces to play with a strong discipline … I think, I caught some nice and musical pinch harmonics in the chorus parts.
I recorded the E-guitar tracks (there is also an acoustic guitar track) with my Marshall JVM410: Clean (green), Crunch (red).
I have tried to flavour the leadparts with variations of the guitar volume knob and different pickup selections.
The drum part is programmed with EZ Drummer 2 (80s Drums). Great package 
I am more then happy to manage the drummer of my band so smoothless 
The keyboard tracks and the bass is recorded with a midi-keyboard and various plug-ins.
When my daughter heard this song the first time, she told me that she thinks of summer and sun flowers. Well, that finally leaded to the song title and some picture I have used in the video.
Have fun, watching / listening:
