VALENTINE'S DAY SONGS
Added 2024-02-14 13:55:13 +0000 UTCIt's good to share the love on Valentine’s Day and it feels especially lovely to be able to share my performances of your chosen song requests. The songs were recorded live and I added a little djembe overdub on a few tracks to help get your groove on!
Here's a rundown of some of your requests:
Eyes Wider than Before
Drifter
Silence
Something Real
Sweet Scented Figure
Myself Again
My Selfless Moon
Cinnamon
The Light
Passing Stranger
Good Times
For the gear-heads amongst you. Here's a rundown of my vocal / guitar chain:
Vocal - JZ Vintage 67 microphone going into a Neve 1073 / Early '70s Ueri silver face 1176 / Roger Mayer 456HD all-analogue tape emulator.
Acoustic guitar - Early '70s AKG 414 going into a Neve 1073 + RM 456HD unit
All this juicy analogue gear is then running into my Antelope Audio Orion Studio Synergy Core interface.
It's best to appreciate the finer details with headphones on ideally. Hope you enjoy the vibes!
Sending you all my love,
Scott

2024-05-26 08:19:12 +0000 UTCThese recordings are lovely. You could have used them to create an album of love songs. My only personal exception is on Sweet Scented Figure. I will always love the recording you did for us that was more rough/twangy. That is how I see that song done best. You really did an excellent job. You must be a very sentimental and caring person.

2024-02-15 11:08:29 +0000 UTCNice one, yeah man. I look forward to that. Indulge me! 🤌🏼😁

2024-02-15 09:23:34 +0000 UTCYes I do find certain guitars in my collection need a specific pickup / preamp combo to function at the their fullest potential. I’ll text you some extra ‘geekoutery’ jargon later!!! 🤓

2024-02-15 08:21:29 +0000 UTCObrigado Thelma. Glad to hear of your enjoyment. I enjoyed creating them. I may even start a little mini series of live performances 🤔

2024-02-15 08:15:38 +0000 UTCJust wonderful Scott…thank you for this
Andrew Boyle
2024-02-15 02:24:18 +0000 UTCThank you for this! Even if I didn't request anything (considering i'm a forever alone 😅), this is just so heartwarming! Whishing you and Sally a wonderful valentine's day! And to all the lovely couples in this community too! 🥰

2024-02-14 22:30:50 +0000 UTCBargain! Aw yeah, good old K&Ks. I’ve heard great things about those Radial PZs. Only used the Pro DI in the past before. Might look at one for Norman 🤔, it’s always needed a bit of love on the signal path being a passive pickup! Take out some honky and quacky mids on the eq and she’s good to go 😁

2024-02-14 21:49:24 +0000 UTCohh - how did I miss that? Andrew's got that cd, need to add it to my car playlist (Scott Fave's). Do you usually play 'Drifter' on that guitar?
Renata
2024-02-14 21:49:03 +0000 UTCHaha!!! Happy days, dear fellow. Glad you both enjoyed the fuzzy warmth of the sound waves! Yeah the Alvarez Bari cost me £180 (used) The K&K pickup works really went into a Radial PZ DI mixed with the old 414. The DI signal helps to give the whole sound that full but firm low end

2024-02-14 21:38:18 +0000 UTCYoung chap! That was an absolutely sublime version of Cinnamon, mate 🤩. It had a real warmth to it, Jazz was of course made up 🙏🏼. The whole set was sounding superb, those mics 👌🏼. As for the acoustic baritone, that translated really well, too. What is it, an Alvarez?

2024-02-14 21:35:32 +0000 UTCCheers Alan. Very happy to hear it 😎
Scott Matthews Official
2024-02-14 21:15:16 +0000 UTCThank you, Rollin. It was nice to play that song on my old ‘70s Guild. It reminded me that I should play that guitar more often
Scott Matthews Official
2024-02-14 21:14:47 +0000 UTCThank you, Ren. Yeah Silence is from my album ‘The Great Untold’ (album No.6
