I'm on staycation, got the In-Laws visiting, enjoying some down time, and got the inspiration to re-lay down a lead track for this song. The first lead was laid down with my ole faithful TFS6, but I just didn't feel like its voice was giving the track the best of what the track needed. The TFS6 is very much a heavy rock guitar, and very good at it, but I needed a voicing that "breathed" a bit more, so I reached for my Bari-Tele, which is tuned down a whole 4th. I transposed the range from the TFS6 in standard tuning & found the starting position on the Bari-Tele, then laid down a "test track" with it. I think this voicing is better suited for this song, which is called "Giving up the Ghost", a tribute/honorarium to my dad, and the lyric takes place during the few minutes that I held his hand as he transitioned passing from this world to the next

By the way, studio is painted and acoustically treated, and I hear a big difference. No more 15ms Flutter Echo, it's down to a minimal early reflection at the very most, standing at the rear-most position in the room. It sounds fantastic at the mixing/monitoring seated position.
